MIDDLE-EASTERN SITUATION
STATEMENT IN FRENCH CHAMBER. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright Paris, January 1/. In the French Chamber, M. Jaures, the Socialist leader, blamed France for assenting to the Anglo-Russian convention, the object of which was the partition of Persia.
M. Pichon, Minister for Foreign Affairs, said tliat no such object was ever in the negotiators' minds. The agreement was calculated to terminate conflicting rivalries, which might have led to the partition. The agreement was one of the happiest arranged for many a long year.
Replying to M. Constant's statement regarding the Baghdad railway, M. Pichon remarked that no foreign Power was entitled to grant railway concessions in Turkev.
Possibly there was some conversation at Potsdam relating to linking the Baghdad railway with the future Northern Persian line, hut why should France in such, a case object to Germany's asking Russia not to oppose the linking?
