113 Captain Biscoe proceeded on a tour to Rudan on the 5th January. He
travelled about 5 stages along the Kerman road through the Shamil district and
across the Rudan hills into the Rudan valley ; his original intention was to return
via Mmab, but owing to heavy ram the Rudan river rose and made the route impas
sable, and he therefore returned by a direct route home. .

116. Reference paragraph 1567 of 1913. Mr. Lecoffre and Captain deMare
called on His Majesty’s Consul on the 2nd instant. Mr. Lecoffre had changed
his attitude in regard to the subsidising of the

10,000 tumans a month was paid for the maintenance of the regular troops and the
road guards in the province. The bulk of this sum passed into the hands of the

Nusrat, and his brother Adl-us-Sultan. For the Karasuran on the Yezd
road the allowance exceeded 1,000 tumans. These funds if properly expended
should amply suffice for maintaining all forces necessary for the preservation of
order. His Majesty’s Consul was inclined to agree, but expressed surprise that these
facts and this point of view had not been placed before him at the beginning bv the
Chief Financial Authority. 6 J
117. Mr. Lecoffre then proceeded to introduce a proposal which he had alreadv
communicated privately to Mr. Garnett when the latter was here. This was for the
appointment of one, or, if possible, more than one, European Officer in whose
hands should be centred the financial and tactical control of all the armed forces in
the provnce excepting the Gendarmerie. This would save the immense leakage of
funds at present going on, and lead to the organisation of a more than visionary
and tolerably reliable force. Afterwards these forces would all be amalgamated
with the road-Gendarmene. 6
118 His Majesty’s Consul replied that while full European control appeared
to offer the only hope of bringing the Persian Public services into a state of practi
cal efficiency and of stopping the wastage of public funds, he did not believe that
any scheme for putting the whole armed forces of the country into European hands
wou d ever be accepted by the Persian Government, or that His Majesty ? s Legation
would be inclined to press for its adoption. A concession had been made to Euro
pean immediate requirements by the creation of the Gendarmerie as a separate force
under European command to protect certain trade routes. The European Powers
were not immediately interested in the manner in which Persia chose to expend its
