PERSIA BECOMES

Aryans

The Shah's Government have decided that the official use of the ancient and famous name of Persia must coase on March 21 next the Persian New Year's Day, after which its place will be taken by the term. Ifan.

Denison Ross in the "Oberver". In future the Persians wish us to speak of their country as Iran and of ita inhabitants as Iranians. The Persian language has, however, hitherto been known as Farsi (that is, Persian), and we are not told whether any change is to be made here.
