A COSTLY PAWN JEOPARDISED.
THE TRANS-PERSIAN RAILWAY.
HOW WILL IT AFFECT INDIA?
STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT] (Received July 17. 1.55 a.m-) LONDON,. July 16. Lord Ciirzon elicited from Lord Morley and Lord Crewe that Britain’s attitude would be non-committal towards the Trans-Persian railway, and the Government would be free to oppose or secure such modification in the ultimate, plans as would appear least detrimental to India’s interests. Lord Curzoiii expressed himself as unconvinced. The “Chronicle” denounces the projected clearing away s of India’s strategic position, and says that a. costly pawn ought not to he jeopardised because Russia is just now our good friend. The likeliest way to end the friendship is to make over-tempting the prospects of a Russian forward movement. The “Daily News” is equally emphatic.
