The vear in general was a disappointing one in the province of Pars. Crops
were well below average, prices for external exports were low while the cost ot
local commodities rose. The poorer people became more and more ragged as
the year went on ; the competition of foreign goods was much restricted. Iheie
was* undoubtedly a great deal of want and sud'ering, all of which seems have
been borne with surprising patience and fortitude. Rain and snow m the month
of December aroused the hope that 1933 would be a better year than the last. It
is possible that there may be considerable local improvement m the next year, but
less probability that commerce will improve unless the conditions ot foreign trade
are modified and the tax on opium exports reduced.
There is no reason to suppose that the general attitude of somewhat grudging
submission to the present regime will be modified in any more active direction ;
and it is indisputable that a certain section of the population is definitely m favour
of the new order.
