THE PERSIAN DIFFICULTY
BRITAIN SEEKS CONCESSIONS. By cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Received 30, 5.5 p.m. London, April 29. In accordance with Sir Edward Grey's forecast in the House of Commons on March 8, and a rescript read by Lord Morley in the Lords on Match 22, Sir Edward Grey has applied to the Persian Government for an option to construct a railway from the Khormusa Inlet through Ahwaz and Shuster to Khormabad, in the region which Britain and Russia stood upon as a neutral zone. The scheme will enable British goods for Persia, instead of entering Turkish territory, to go direct to Khormusa, thence along a British line linked with Russia's projected Khanikin-Teheran railway.
A HOWL FROM GERMANY. "MATERIAL FOR A GRAVE CONFLICT." SARCASTIC REFERENCE TO THE PEACE PROPOSALS. Received 30, 5.5 p.m. Berlin, April 20. The Khormusa scheme has led to a great outcry from the Press. The Reichsbote says that with the honey of peace on her lips, Britain's unswerving purpose is to bar Germany's path everywhere and to frustrate her successes. "Here we have again material for a grave conflict with Britain," adds the paper.
