LONDON, Feb. 3
The Standard, commenting on the Russo-Persian commercial agreement, says : " Britain must claim any commercial advantages secured to Russia. We are at least as strong in the Persian Gulf as Russia in the Trans-Caspian, while the Quetta-Nuslik. railway is no menace. It indicates appreciation of the need for preventing the absorption ot Southern Persia by another Power, adds security to India, And demands vigilance in Beluchistan."
