on the understanding ( 1 ) that the arrangement whereby losses will be met from
profits before any payment is made to His Majesty’s Government shall apply
only from the present financial year; (2) that in the event of the Indian section
being dismantled before the sum due to His Majesty’s Government has been

The Foreign Office have been informed that, if the Government of India
accept these conditions My Lords for their part will offer no objection to Lord
Ourzon’s proposal that the Persian Section of the line shall be handed over
to the Persian Government as a free gift.
I am to add that My Lords share the views of the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs as to the continuance of the line and I am to express the hope
tnat the Government of India will be able to give an undertaking that the
idea of eventually dismantling the Indian section of the line will be
abandoned.
