Your telegrams Kos. 19 and ' ■■ > (ext?<5. uoth
Fehruai/. Withdrcwal of Inco-Surcpo- Telegraph
Department).
Transfer to Persian Government of Gulf cables is
quite out of the question. Although these cables at
present touch Persian ports their importance is
essentially as channel of communication between Iraq
and India and they are not in any way a part of
Persian teletrapn stem.
The Jask-Gwadur line res not built on account
of the Persian Government and so is in quite different
category from those now to be hsr.aea over. nis
Majesty's Government would be very reluctant to agree
to transfer of ownership. They hope that you will
be able to make full use of the very generous nature
of the settlement as a whole and comparative un
importance of Jask-Gwadur line, which after all can be
ox little real use to Persia, to induce a more
accommodating attitude on this point on the part of
the Persian Government. I approve your language
about the royalty.
There is no objection to insertion of proposed
reference to Arabistan lines or of words "ana claims'
in paragraph 3.
