I inclose a copy of the new draft together with a summary 7
.
statement of how the provision proposed for that cost of
construction and maintenance would work out in practice ac
cording to Mr. Barker’s estimate.
I trust that the contingency of having to negotiate
a new Convention will not arise, but should it do so, it is
well to have an alternative ready in order to avoid delay.
Mr. Barker’s draft appears to meet the case and 1 would
only suggest that v/e should be permitted to waive the 4%
interest if necessary.
As to the chances of the signed convention’s receiving
the approval of the Medjliss, I am not in a position to speak
with any certainty as 1 have purposely abstained from feel
ing the ground in order to incur no unnecessary hostile agi
tation. Serdar Mansur, the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs,
has promised to give me two or three days' notice before the
question is raised in the House, which will leave me plenty
of time for such lobbying as seems desirable.
I have &c.,
(Signed) G. Barclay.
