Result of Minister- of War’s recent visit to Bushire ^ Sbiiraz.
I have the honour to invite a reference to the despatch
No. 95 dated 2^th December 1922 to the address of His
Majesty’s Minister, Tehran, on the subject of the recent
visit of the war Minister to Shiraz and Bushire, which
was forwarded to the Foreign and Political Department with
my office endorsement No. 10-3 dated 7th January 1923.
’v had intended to send this with a covering letter but was
unable to do so owing to indisposition.
I Quite agree with Mr, Chick as to the harm done to
British interests by the War Minister’s recent visit. The
resume given on page 5 of Mr. Chick’s despatch shows
clearly the gene ral anti -B r j. ti sh t rend o f the T r a r Mini st- r s
actions while at Shiraz and Bushire and on the r 0 ad; there
is no doubt His Excellency lost no opportunity of encouraging
all the Khans who had been anti-Britisn, and di s-ourr-ging
those who had been frieridly to us. H i s > ° ; coin^e, P
sible that he did this under the delusion that the anti
[British Khans were patriots resisting encroachments by the
|Foreigner, but if so his knowledge of events curing tnp mv
must be very faulty. It is hardly necessary to mention that
the principal anti -British Khans, Sheikh Hussain, -air
Khadhar, Rais Ali, etc. whom he has honoured either personal
ly when they survive, or in the persons of kueir sons
