, In
communicating the hern or and urn, the Secx’etary of State men
tioned that His majesty*a Government considered it highly de
sirable that at least one British director, approved by His
Majesty* s Government, should be admitted to the Board of the
Baghdad Railway; such an arrangement would of course require
the consent of the German Government.
Secondly, as the Turkish Government were aware, cer
tain rights are secured to Persia under the Treaty of Kr-
zeroum, and the geographical position of nohammerah was such
that Sheikh would of necessity be brought into contact with
the Riverain Commission, ills Bajesty*s Government, therefore,
propose that the Commissioner who is a British subject should
be charged with the duty of making to the Commission such
representations as nay De necessary upon any question affect
ing those rights, and intimated that they would use their
good offices with the Sneikh and the Persian Government to
induce them to agree to this arrangement.
The following is a summary of the draft honorandum, which
id of considerable length;-
Baghdad Railway question .
The magnitude of British interests in Mesopotamia is
such tnat it is plainly very desirable that some understand
ing should be come to with regard to British participation
in the Baghdad-nulf Bection; since, however, it appears that
theviews of tne two contracting parties on this point are
lively to be difficult to reconcile, and in order to prove
the sincerity of their desire to reach an understanding with
the Porte without delay or controversy, His Majesty*s Govern
ment are prepared to withdraw their request for British parti
cipation
