during the month* The Governor ot Kemanehah received a re jort
that thousanas ox 1 Be^zaachs were loot ag villages in the Rowaixair
district a^u prepari to s< c* Rowanoir in search of wheat, hut
it transpired that it was the ambitious V<o • i 1 Javanrud tax ing
poBoeasion of several villages in the Javanrud area to which he
a a claim.
L. The turbul#nt KalKhanis have now moved down to their
winter 0 ruunds along the frontier, ttiid the Iranian military
authorities have fait emboldened to call upon thera to surrender
some ox their arms. General Ghahoakti went recently to v^asr-i-
dhirin ane sent an ultimatum to the two leaders jahan^ir ana
ifcrabar iultan, shortly afterwards sending down a oattalion of
mi xtry uo j. 1 fuhab the main road. The intriguing
s i: ,.laer' , Beyid oha^iS-ea-Bin oi Tut shame h has been summoned to
iverffl&nebah aiid io unaer sai‘Veillance here. Kno & h rifles will
apparently be luit with the tribe to defend themselves a t ,i inat
their Babajani enemies, a^u the Iranian military do not anti
cipate much difficulty over the o eration, which if successful
jmay do eomethiiig to improve security on the Khaniqin-fi mmishah
road, v.hcre ..^«_,lo-ooviet mutui* traffic is increasing.
o. Towards tne end of the month ue xeral ohahbanti left
ior Tehran, whe ice he is e>oxng for a time to Khu&istan, which is
iii his military dxstrict. There are the usual rumours that this
time he will ^iot return. Ii so, the Kemanshah province will
jneVt lout it^only capable official, whatever his faults, and
; will remei virtually heaolcso as at present.

4. The Gove nor-Gexierul, Arair-i- .all, left the district
| lor Tehran at the beginning ox the month and has not returned,
iThere are reasons for believing that he will not uo so, and few
! people will be oorry except his own greedy relations and hazigera-
i on. During his six oi 5 seven month’ tenure he has uone little
but feather his own nest, ana iii spite ol the inline ice his lame
envoys aaong the tribes, has been at the oeek and call of every
undesirable element with no thought oi uoin to anything lor the
O ood govei iuaent of his province. 4e rai^ht however >lcad with r
soiae justice that he has been ill, that the central Government
have e ivan him no pay whatsoever and very little oac ing, thaw
every single ufiicial around him has been similarly corrupt, Vnd^'
that he could not poaclbly have carried u , O oou gover\uQCiii in ..7
present circumsta .ccs even ii he has tried. The remaining chief
oificials were described in last month* s uiary, nuu have oo it l auCi
their sloth’s or their ra e'a progi'ess as the case may oe.
However, no one here expects anything else now, and official or y
non-official almost apathoticaliy regards the nauir of incompctb
ence which the Tehran government seem deliberately to have fixed
ior their representation in this part oi the world, even allovin^
ior the present level of officialdom throughout moat of Iran.
The one exception was provided by the return aurin 0 the month
of Goloncl Farroukh, not as Chief of o-endnr ierie from which
post he had been removed in October lor aoi{% his duty too oil, J
but ne military Ohio f of Btaff to General ohahoa ti. Tueri can
