CONFIDENTIAL.
Mr. Marling to Sir Edivard Grey.—{Received July 25, 7‘30 a.m.)
(No. 244.) Tehran, July 24, 1908, 10'38 p.m.
AHWAZ-BOHASJUN Telegraph.
Persian Minister of Telegraphs has complained to Indo-European Telegraph
Department of had working of this line, and hinted that Department might under
take repair. This is probably due to complaints recently made by Netherlands
Minister.
We might be able to turn this opportunity to advantage by obtaining control of
line, and possibly even of extension to Mohammerah.
Would it be possible for Director-in-chief to give Indo-European Telegraph
Department here rather full powers of negotiation with Persian Minister of Telegraphs ?
I think it would be better for Legation not to appear in the matter. I presume
that if we could arrange for a satisfactory measure of control His Majesty’s Govern
ment and Indian Government would be prepared to bear some expense. Favourable
nircumstances are not likely to continue Jong, and I [?] ask for an early reply.
(Sent to India.)
