BRITISH PERILS IN THE PERSIAN GULF.
THE ANGLO-RUSSIAN CONVENTION. Our position and perils in the Persian Gulf were discussed at a mesting of the Central. Asian Society in the Library, 22 Albemarle street. Mr.Valentine Chirol ocopied the chair,
Mr. J. D. Kaos, M.P., was could not be dne he would be in favour of If that British control over the section south of Bagdad. But as the soncession had been granted to. Germans and we had refused to take part in it' he failed to see how we could racover our lost ground. Her havr.) We ought to bave s separate convention embodying Russia's recogai tion of our special intareata in the Persian Gulf As for the assignment of Northern Persia as Russia's sphere of influence, it must. be remembered that the present British Govarn. ment had simply accepted ascomplished faots for which it was not rasponsible. If, moreover, there was a lack of the Imperial spirit in the House of Commons, the Government would have a difficulty in acting according to that spirit, Another difloxlty arose from the existence of x officials turned into anti-officials, and ready grossly to misrepresent the intentions of the Indian Goveromont (Applause.)
Mr. I. F. B. Lynch, 31. P., entirely friversed the suggestion of MR that the Anglo- Russian Convention only recognised accom. plished facts. The interests of both Powers in Persia wera purely commercial; yet the Con- vention gave to Russia the most important trade route that from Bagdad to Tarrah, along which scarcely a bale of Russian goods passed. In addition the onvention handed to Russis the great potential trade route of the future. Sir A. Nicholson, our Ambassador st Constan tinople, had aid that bat for the Convention there would have been war between, Russia and this country. If that was true, why was not Parliament taken into the Government's con fidence? Such & Convention ought not to have. been signed by the representativan of Graat Britain excapt after dofont in a disastrone war. (est, hear) He attributed it not to the temper of Parliament or our people, but to the fact that our foreign affairs were conducted cording to the notions of amateurs, (Hear,
