This report is interesting in spite of the fact
that it is a year out of date, and that much of the
information co. tained in it has already been received
in this Office and is to be found on other files.
Sir Geoffrey Prior, in his Review of time Year (pages
2-4) stresses the t.vo major problems which confronted
the administration everywhere in the

the question of adequate food supplies and the rapid
rise in prices and the cost of living.
Once again the comparative calm of the Arab side
of the Gulf vra.s in striking contrast to the unrest
and insecurity on the Persian side.

During the year the importance of Bushire Port

K in the Port led to an influx of labour, etc., which
had a bad effect on the already steeply rising cost of
living. The corruption of the Persian officials,
hoarding, profiteering and lack of transport, combined
with the unsettled state of the countryside, primitive
methods of agriculture, a poor harvesb, and the prohibi
tion of the exports of cereals and fruit from Shiraz
to cause a sharp rise of prices in the towns and famine
in some country districts.
