The news of the probably early commencement of the Baghdad-AIeppo Sec
tion of the German Railway from the Baghdad end indicates a development of
far-reaching importance, which will clearly be of the greatest advantage to the
Hamburg-Amerika Line. As regards the point raised by Messrs. Lynch’s
manager in respect to German rights of navigation on the Tigris it would seem
unlikely that the Germans would forego the opportunity of placing their own
vessels and employes on the Shat-al-Arab and Tigris for the transport of material •
but, if the statement that the Turkish River Company is to be transferred to
German management is correct, a position is likely to be created which could
hardly be regarded by Messrs. Lynch and British interests in general with
equanimity.
Whereas this report deals with a period ending October 1910, I venture to
explain that the material on which the statistics are based takes a considerable
time to collate and necessitates correspondence with outside offices.
