far eastwards and affects Russian in
terests it would be absolutely essen

cluded, the consent of Russia should
be obtained. I trust, therefore, that

hend that the proposals to which the
French Government have agreed in prin

of the Russian Government, and also
upon the co-operation of the Arabs be
ing secured. Moreover, it need hard
ly be said that the proposals as re
gards British and French desiderata
must in addition depend upon the ge
neral arrangements which may be reached
in regard to the Ottoman Empire in
