The Marquess of Lansdowne to Sir A. Hardinge.
_ „ , Foreign Office, May 6 , 1901 , 4'30 p.m.
VICEROY of India telegraphs 28 th April that rumour has reached him from
more than one quarter that Russia contemplates purchase of Seistan or farming of its
revenue from Persia. He represents that any such action would be fatal to rapidly
expanding Indian trade, and constitute grave ulterior menace to Baluchistan, and that
Seistan should not in any circumstances be allowed to pass directly or indirectly under
Russian control. He suggests that an intimation to Persian Government of interest
which His Majesty’s Government take in Seistan, and of our inability to acquiesce in
its extinction, might forestall any such move if contemplated.
Have you reason to think there is any foundation for this rumour, and do you
consider it desirable to say anything to Persian Government ?
We cannot, of course, tolerate any tampering with Seistan by Russia.
