37* Afghanistan* With reference to previous reports,
the Turkish arbitration Commission has not yet Issued any award
in the Perso-Afghan frontier question. In consequence of the
uncertainty as to the exact boundary, a fresh dispute has now
arisen.
J 8 . It is understood that the reason for delay is because
the Persians would not agree to the Commission^ proposals,
and the lurks wish to make an arrangement suitable to both
sides.

41. Henlam. It is reported that a non-commissioned
officer and 15 _ men (non-conscript) were sent to Henjam in
"PAI-iiNG" on 12th April. It seems likely that they may have
forestalled the Army in the use of the late Officers* Club and
Canteen buildings.
42. "PALAKCM a" Armament . The barrel of one of the
"PALANG’s" guns is reported to have split. Although there
are many rumours as to how and when this occurred, nothing
definite is known as yet. When at Bombay, the gun was inspected
and it was then seen to be in very bad condition Internally,
pitting being extensive.
43 . Conscription. About 45 men were recruited from
Mohammerah and district during April and they are now training
at the Naval Barracks. The conscription law will also affect
the Bahraini subjects residing at Gusba, near Mohammerah, for
although they hold Government of Bahrain nationality papers,
they were forced to take out "siJills" also. An officer has
been sent to Gusba to bring back those Bahrainis who are
considered due for service.

44. New Construction. The naval tug "NEYROTJS" towing
two dumb lighters arrived at Aden on 10th Hay and left four
days later for Mohammerah.
*5 • Movesrents . Unusual activity was shown by the Navy
during the month, five ships being at sea at the same time.
It is presumed that at this period, when ships were in company,
opportunity was taken to carry out exercises.
PERSIAN ARMY.
46 . Strength. It is estimated that the present strength
jaf £he Army is about 80,000 and it is believed that the Shah
eventually hopes to increase this figure to 100,000 men.
«
47 . Training. The standard of training is difficult to
assess, but It Is probably better in the Tehran garrison than
in the provinces. At Tehran, training off the barrack square
is confined to movements of units up to one battalion, and a
very little weapon training. In the latter connection, it
has been estimated that not more than 10 rounds per rifle
are expended each vear. As reported in the November Summary
manoeuvres were held near Tehran, but no foreign observers
were allowed to be present.
