Sir,
In reply t0 your lett er No. p. 3838 of the 12 th
instant, relative to the disposal of the Nushki-Duzdap railway,
I am directed by the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston to transmit,-
to to be laid before Viscount Peel tup
ue^i, the accompanying copy
of a telegram from His Majesty's Minister at Tehran.
- • While fully sympathising with the desire of the
government of India for the restoration of order in the Sarhad
and Persian Baluchistan and, in particular, for the suppression
of host Mohammed Khan of Bampur, the Secretary of State
nevertheless shares the views expressed by Sir p. Loraine that
it would be undesirable to threaten the Persian Government with
a proposal uo suspend the train service in order to bring
pressure to bear upon the Persian Government to take effective
steps to reassert their authority in the above districts. Such
action roula have a deleterious effect upon British and Indian
traae, whilu s cirnulating the revival of commercial relations
between Russia and east Persia, It would also diminish the
customs revenue of the Persian Government, on which the
Brioish loans to Persia are secured. Moreover any attempt to
link the question of the disposal of the Duzdap railway with
that Ox the restoration ke order in the Persian provinces
marching with British Baluchistan would inevitably entail
