TRIBAL DISAFFECTION. IN SOUTHERN PERSIA
BRITAIN’S NEUTRALITY. DENIAL THAT AGENTS ARE CAUSING STRIFE. British Official Wireless. Received Friday, 7 p.m. RUGBY, July 25. In replying to a question in tho House of Commons, Mr. A. Henderson, Foreign Secretary, stated that the Government had received reports concerning tribal disturbances in Southern Persia. They had also been informed of certain rumours curront in Persia to the effect that these risings wore being investigated by British agents, but he was glad to have the opportunity of stating that these rumours were devoid of any foundation whatsoever, and that the policy of tho British Government remained one of strict nonintervention in Persian internal affairs. Mr. Henderson was confident that the Persian Government, which had had ample evidence during the past few years of tho friendly attitude of Great Britain, realised that in its present difficulties with its disaffected tribes it might count on tho sympathy of the British Government, whose one desire was to see Persia prosperous and peaceful under a strong and independent Government.
