veyed more doctors to Jask and Bandar Abbas. It returned to Tehran the
next day.
{d) A German aeroplane No. D.-1198 Junkers W.-336/2506 arrived
Bushire from Baghdad. As it did not carry a permit from the Persian
Government to pass over Persia, the military held it up from 21st Septem
ber to 25th on which date it was allowed to leave permission having been
obtained from Tehran. It left for Karachi, whence it was to proceed to
Calcutta and Tokio and America. It was owned by Baron Hynefeld, Pilot
Lindmer and mechanic Gangerich forming the crew.
(e) A German light single seater 2 cylinder aeroplane was expected
from Tehran on the 24th September with Freiherr Koenig Von Und Zu
Werthausen on board, but it failed to arrive< owing to a forced landing at
Abadeh, a point between Isfahan and Shiraz. This machine with Freiherr
Koenig on board finally arrived at Bushire on the 18th October. It left
Bushire on the 1 st November for Bandar Abbas, Jask and Charbar en route
to Karachi. It landed at Bandar Abbas on the 2nd November and left for
Jask the same day but was forced to land at a place 60 miles from Bandar
Abbas. It returned to Bandar Abbas and finally flew to Karachi on the 5th
November. This flight was really a remarkable performance if the minute
size of the machine be taken into consideration.

board the British India Steam Navigation Company steamer Varsova .
His Majesty landed at Bushire on the 25th November. A separate report
was submitted to Government about the Shah’s visit.
Section 7.
'Political situation.
Conditions in Bushire probably differed little from those in other parts
of Persia. The high tariffs on tea and sugar created a serious amount of
economic pressure which was however substantially alleviated in Bushiie
and its neighbourhood by convenient smuggling. Conscription and a com
pulsory form of head gear are not popular and there was certainly a notice
