Sir,
Whitehall, July 8, 1913.
WITH reference to correspondence ending with my letter of the 3rd June, 1913,
as to the Abu Musa oxide question, I am directed to invite attention to the Viceroy's
telegram of the 28th ultimo on the subject, copy of which was communicated to your
Department ou the 30th idem.
The Marquess of Crewe concurs generally in the views expressed by the Govern
ment of India and the Resident in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, and he shares the conclusion at
which they have arrived, and which, as would appear from the twelfth paragraph of
your letter of the 21st May last, has the assent of the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, that the most satisfactory solution of the question would be the payment of a
lump sum to Messrs. Wonckhaus and Co. in extinction of all their claims.
His Lordship would suggest, however, that Sir P. Cox's detailed observations
should be awaited before any further communication is made to the German Government.
In the meanwhile, it would seem premature to open direct negotiations with the firm.
I am, &c.
T. W. HOLDERNESS.
