an anchorage area in the Shatt el Arab off Abadan, with certain
reservations regarding free navigational facilities through the
newly acquired Iranian waters. No official reply has yet been
received from Tehran, but it is understood that the proposal
has been favourably received and this may possibly lead to some
progress being made in these negotiations.
(R*A.F.Int.Report).
7. Relations with Palestine . A delegation arrived in
Baghdad at the end of December and held several conversations
with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
It is understood that the advice preferred to them was to
abandon the policy of non co-operation and to give the fullest
evidence before the Royal Oommission. The delegation then left
for Riyadh where no doubt they received the same advice from
Ibn Baud. (R*A*F#Int.Report)♦
8. Middle Euphrates . Bekr Sidqi made a tour of the lower
Iraq garrisons in December and a t the same time took the
opportunity of assessing local feeling towards the Government.
It appears that the tribes, which were in rebellion
in 1935 and 1936, consider they contributed largely to the fall
of the Hashimi Government and are expecting a reward in the form
of remission of taxes and the return of their banished leaders.
Bekr Sidqi has strongly recommended that no measures should for
the present be enforced, which might alienate popular feeling in
this area. (R.A.F. Int.Report)•

9. A ssistant Governor of Khorramshahr . With reference to
paragraph 11 of last month 1 s Intelligence“Report, the name of
the new Assistant Governor is Agha Ahmed Ashraf.
(Khorramshahr.Int.Report)•
10. Imports at Khorramshahr . From the exceptional
quantities of cargo arriving at present it would appear that the
various Monopoly Departments have ordered their annual quotas of
imports in single consignments. The existing Customs organisation
is quite unable to compete with it and all available space on
the banks of the Karun river has been taken up for use as
dumps for goods. Barge hire has risen from 100 to 500 Rials,
per day. (Khorramshahr Int.Report).
11. Seaplane Station . An Iranian Air Force Officer
attached to the Ministry of War, arrived at Khorramshahr, to
inspect the Karun, it is said, with a view to the establishment
of a seaplane base. (Khorramshahr Int.Report).
12. Japanese Salt Company . It is reported that a Company
named the ^Japanese Salt Exploitation Company*’ has been formed
and that its Manager, an Iranian named Danishwar, with three
Japanese Engineers have arrived at Quishn Island. The output
from the Salt Caves was reported to be 400 tons in December and it
is understood that they hope to improve on this figure.
