THE ANGLO-RUSSIAN AGREEMENT.
DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. LONDON, February 11. In the House of Lords the debate on the Anglo-Russian Agreement was resumed. Lord Curzon's motion was withdrawn. Lord Sanderson emphasised the fact that this was the first occasion on which Russia had reciprocated a desire for the settlement of a group of Asiatic questions. Lord Lansdowne expressed a similar view, and remarked that he, with some exceptions, had viewed the agreement on the whole with satisfaction. He did not think that the convention as regarded Persia was favourable to Britain. The neutral zone was likely to be of great advantage to Russia. The success of the convention depended upon Russia's loyal interpretation, which would uphold the convention and consolidate peace. Lord Crewe said he was glad that the judgment of the House was on the whole favourable. He insisted that the details were advantageous to both countries, and said the convention would tend towards the world's peace.
