BRITAIN IN PERSIA
STATEMENT BY SIR EDWARD GREY. By Cable—Press Assoc in Hon —Copyright. London, March 10. Sir Edward Grey, in reply to Mr. Balfour, said that Britain would not consent to the Porte increasing the Customs duty at Persian Gulf ports 4 per cent, if the funds were used to promote railways of doubtful advantage to British trade, or to compete with services hitherto in the hands of British concessionaries. He added that the treaty rights in connection with the jiort of Koeit would be maintained.
