in favour of a sentinel station at the mouth of
the Gulf, Major Cox requested the views of
the Government of India on the point before
he made any proposal to the Sanitary Council
regarding Maskat. On the 11th June 1908,
the views of His Majesty’s Secretary of State
were asked on the proposal. The Government
of India were of opinion that it was not
desirable to take the apparatus outside the
Gulf and that Mohammerah seemed preferable
to Maskat.
On the 22nd June 1908, Mr. Marling,
His Majesty’s Charg6 d’Affaires, Tehran,
repeated a telegram sent by him to the Foreign
Office, in which he expressed the opinion that
the Sanitary Council could be brought to
agree to the Clayton apparatus being stationed
at Mohammerah if the unsuitableness of the
other Persian ports were explained to them,
but that as the Council had always expected
the apparatus to be placed at Bushire a
proposal to that effect would be likely to
involve discussion of the question of a sentinel
station. If it was desirable to avoid this
Mr. Marling advocated that it would be advis
able to place the apparatus at Bushire for the
present, as it might be difficult to control the
course of discussion owing to the absence of
the French President of the Council and the
other French Members.
