Sir,
I have laid before the Lords Commineioners of His
Majesty’s Treasury Sir Fyre Orowe f g letter of the 22nd ultimo
(No.52284/13), with enclosure, relative to a proposal that a
sum of 210,000 should be advanced by the British, Indian and
"Russian Governments to meet the cost of erecting boundary
pillars on the Turco-Persian frontier, the money ultimately
to be recovered from the Ottoman and Persian Governments.
In reply I am to request you to inform Secretary
Sir P. Grey that Fy Lords would be glad to have some details
as to how the estimate of £10,000, which appears to be some
what high, has been arrived at.
As regards the alleged necessity for relieving
Turkey and Persia from meeting the expenditure on the pillars
in the first instance I am to observe that, judging from Lr.
Iratislaw’s letter,there is no sufficient reason to anticipate
that Turkey will not be able to meet its obligations immediate
ly and in these circumstances^'y Lords see no justification
for undertaking any resnonsibility on its behalf.
The capacity of the Persian Government to meet the
demands on them is more doubtfu^but even in their case it is
by no means clear to Their Lordships that, considering now
small is the sum required,it will not be forthcoming. In this
connection I am to point out that since February 1912 a sum of
£220,000 has been advanced to Persia and I am to enquire
whether, in view of this, it would not be possible to obtain
from the Persian Government a guarantee that the necessary
funds will be provided for the erection of pillars.
Under Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
