In the House of Lords Lord Cnrzon initiated a. detailed debate on the question of the Bagdad railway. Loid Mnrley declared that if Turkey's settlement was acceptable the Government was willing, upon condition that he should use his influence with the Sheikh of Koweit to permit the terminus of the railway to be at Koweit, to withdraw its objection to an increase in the Turkish Customs. Britain was sincerely desirous of arriving at a settlement, but she adhered to the position which Lord Lansdowne expressed in 1903.
