India Office

.
Sir, Foreign Office, October 31, 1913.
I AM directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the 29th October in which yon enclose a telegram, covering one from the British
Resident in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, from the Government of India regarding the desirability
ot" securing the early withdrawal of the Turkish garrison from El Katr.
I am to state in reply that Sir E. Grey concurs in the concluding sentence of your
letter, in which the hope of the Secretary of State for India is expressed that ratifica
tion of the Anglo Turkish conventions will not much longer be deferred, but that this
is dependent upon the conclusion of negotiations between the Ottoman Government
and the Bagdad Railway Company, as, pending the conclusion of such negotiations,
the Anglo-Turkish agreements cannot become operative.
Sir E. Grey is, however, far from convinced that there is such urgent and para
mount necessity, suddenly arisen, of withdrawing at once from El Bidaa the Turkish
garrison which has now been there since 187-J. As soon as the convention with
Turkey has been ratified and is operative. Bis Majesty's Government can ask Turkey
to withdraw the garrison, should she fail to do so spontaneously ; but in the meantime
Sir E. Grey considers that it would be expedient that Sir P. Cox should be instructed
to explain to Ibn Saud, who doubtless will be able to appreciate the communication,
that effect will naturally be given to our agreement with Turkey within a short time of
its ratification, and that His Majesty's Government expect ratification to take place
before the end of the year.
I am, &c.
EYRE A. CROWE.
