Government of India's telegram No.261 March 28th<,
As Persian government are already working on the
line Buz&ap to Mir Jaw a (see Ur. Parr’s telegram No. 42
last paragraph) it would he possibly difficult to
induce them to abandon it. Moreover they could well
argue that telegraph line is only indirectly connected
with railway question. Insertion of clause in
agreement would necessitate raising fresh point with
Minister for Foreign Affairs and further delaying
conclusion of agreement. It would also open the door
to Persian government applying for mention in agreement
of through communication. Application has so far
only been made tentatively by official of Ministry
of Foreign Affairs (see telegram referred to above).
No complaints have so far been received here as
regards working of the two lines for railway agencies
since march 1st.
Addressed to Foreign Office No*58. repeated to
Government of India No.48.
