BRITISH AND RUSSIAN RIVALRY IN PERSIA.
THE COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT. ,
By Telegraph.Press Association.—Copyright.
London, February 3. The Standard, commenting on the new Russo-Persian commercial agreement, says that Britain should claim any commercial advantages secured by Russia. We are at least as strong in the Persian Gulf as Russia in the trans-Caspian. While the Quetta-Kushki railway is no menace, it indicates an appreciation of the need for preventing the absorption of Southern Persia by another Power. The Standard adds that the security of India demands vigilance in Beluchistan.
