AFFAIRS IN PERSIA
RESIGNATION OP A MINISTER. B7 Cable.—Prese Association.—Copyright. Teheran, December 28. The .Minister for Foreign Affairs has resigned, owing to the situation in Southern Persia not improving and the increasing possibility that the threat embodied in the recent British note will be carried out. There has been no case of robbery on the main route from Bushire to Shiraz since September 5, but the Governor-General has not reached 'his post, nor is the gendarmerie being organised.
[The British note threatened that if order was not restored the roads would b« policed by a force under British officers.]
GUN-RUNNING. London, December 28. The Westminster Gazette considers that gun-running in the Gulf of Persia will not be stopped without the eo-opera-tion of France, who hitherto has not seen her way to relinquish trading rights with Muscat. Meanwhile a partial remedy in England's hand is to stop the export of home-made rifles which find their way to the north-western frontier, via Muscat. The Morning Post, however, declares that the rifles are uade chiefly in .J?ranee and Belgium.
