Industry and Developments.-The Minister of Industries with a German
mineralogist inspected copper deposits at Bahr Asman (69 miles b. •
Kerman) in October. Work on this site has since commenced but the
results are not yet known.
No other new industries were introduced during the year.
Carpet weaving is the principal industry in this district but it is not
in a verjr flourishing condition. By the end of the year only about oO pe
cent, of the looms were working and foreign agents were not placing ordeis.
The Khorshid Spinning Mill suffered from managerial disputes and was
„Wrl fnr several months. There was also a shortage of raw material.
VI. MILITARY.
Sartip Ali Akbar Siahpush retained command of the Kerman brigade
throughout the year. He was promoted to his prese at rank m March. I roops
from the brigade took part in the Bashakird operations early m the year and
later in the operations against the Ismail Zais in the bam and Rudbar
areas.
No important changes occurred in the composition of the brigade and the
discipline and moral of the troops under the present Commander is believed
to be good.
The visit to Kerman in May of two senior officers from Tehran was asso
ciated with the rumoured establishment of the Southern Army Headquarters
at Khwash, but nothing further has been heard of this proposal.
The new barracks at Sar Aseyab are still uncompleted.
800 conscripts were discharged in October and were replaced by a similar
number of new men.
Internal security .—The security of the main trade routes has been well
maintained. No attacks on motor vehicles have been reported.
VII. COMMUNICATIONS.
Hoads .—No new roads were constructed in this district during 1938, and
existing main roads connecting Kerman were maintained in a fair state of re
pair. Surrounding villages are to be linked up with Kerman by fair-weather
motor roads.
Wireless .—The Kerman wireless station, which was erected by the Rus
sians in 1926, is not in service but is believed to be subjected to a weekly test.
Aviation .—No aeroplane landed at Kerman during the year. An officer
of the Iranian Air Force inspected the aerodrome in August.
VIII. LOCAL POLITICS.
Politics do not play a very important part in the lives of the inhabitants
of this district. The present regime exhibits little interest in the welfare of
the people of this province and the latter display their enthusiasm for new
national occasions under compulsion.
Deputies for the 16th Mejliss as nominated by Tehran were duly elected by
order.
Press .—The “ Bidari ”, nominally a weekly paper, makes fitful appear
ances, and like three others—“ Istiqamat ”, Sada-i-Kerman ” and the
“ Aenaeh-i-Janub ” which exist only in name, is of little consequence.
B.—BANDAR ABBAS.
I. HIS MAJESTY’S CONSULATE.
Personnel. —H. M.’s Consul, Kerman, held additional charge of Bandar
Abbas throughout the year.
H. Mis Birthday .—The occasion was celebrated by a tea party at the
Consulate on the 9th June, which was attended by 90 persons including the
acting Governor, the Manager of the National Bank, and a number of
Iranian merchants.
