Since Kerman shah diary for October, which is now out of
date His Majesty's Consul and Political advisers have come to
Tehran and the whole position has been reviewed with them and with
the Prime Minister. ^?Fowu,fek
2. Governor General is to go and the Prime Minister has
offered the post to Bahrami (Personalities No.1-7) who woj*ld do well.
Governor is also to be replaced. We wanted to get Rayrokh back
as chief of Gendarmerie, but American adviser, Colonel Schwarzkopf,
was strongly against this and has asked us to give his successor a
trial.
3. Situation at Kermanshah is most unsatisfactory but I hope-
that these changes will, begin an improvement. As regards
prosecution of hoarders we have for the moment relaxed our efforts
there at Sheridan's request while he endeavours to coax wheat into
the -markets by other-means.
