trade in Persia is the simultaneous construction of railway
lines into Persia from the south coast.
We have, &c.
This is the real aspect of the “peaceful competition” of
the English, this is their respect for treaties!
After humiliating Persia politically and committing her
to financial servitude, they frustrate every attempt to open
up Persian roads for trading purposes, unless the result is
beneficial exclusively to English capital. England’s “cant”
so clever at clothing even her robbing decrees in hypocritical
parlance blinds the world to her insatiable greed and un
scrupulousness, which have brought a nation, emerging to
new life and prosperity, to the verge of ruin.—
The words of John Galsworthy addressed to England in
1912 pleading mercy for Persia have been all in vain!
Are we with panic so deep-rotted down
In self, that we can feel no longer shame
To league and steal a nation’s hope of youth?
Oh Sirs! Is our star merely cynical?
Is God reduced ? That we must darken truth
And break our honour with this creeping fall ?
Hardinge of Penshurst
