Telegram from the English Consul in Shiraz to the English
Minister in Teheran, February 12 th, 1914.
Copy of a telegram from His Majesty’s Consul at Shiraz, to
His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran (repeated to the Political Resi
dent in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
) No. 20, dated (and received) thej ^
12 th February 1914.
There has been some talk here lately among Persian mer
chants of starting company for constructing railway between
Shiraz and Bushire. I have reason to think that the scheme
was suggested by the German Consul during his stay here
last summer. Idea would be that the Company should pose
as Persian Company but that considerable portion of the capital
should be raised in Germany. I scarcely think that the project
can come to anything but it is worth watching.
