PERSIAN GULF BRITISH.
Lord Lansdozone Says Route to
India Must Be Protected.

London May 6.-Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe has proclaimed a British Monroe Doc
tr;ne in the Persian Gulf, and has practically
given notice to the competing powers that any
atternut on their part to establish a naval base
or fortified post in those waters means war with
Great Britain.
.I say without hesitation" said the Foreign
Secretary, dealing with the subject in the House
Of Lords yesterday evening. that we should re-
gard the esta ablishment of a naval base or a
fortified port in the Persian Gulf by any other
power as a very grave menace to British inter
asts and we should certainly resist 1t with all
the means at our disposal"
Lord I.ansdowne preceded this explicit enun-
citation of British policy by a review OF the
situation there as it affected British interests.
con+ending that so far as the navigation or the
Persian Gulf was concerned, Great Britain held
O nosition different to that of the other powers
hoth because it was owing to British enterprise
and expenditure of life and money that the gun
was now open to the commerce OF the world ana
because the protection of the sea route to lnola
made necessary British predominance IN the
gulf
Lord Iansdowne's attitude in this matter gen
eralIv meets with approval, athougn the
answers thereto of the other powers interested
in the gulf are awaited with some anxiety.
The newspapers here comment on the analosy
of the present proceeding, when captain Mailaii
so strongly recommended, to the United States
policy of Monroesm. The westminster da-
zet+e,. holds that the British motive-namely,
tho rrotaction of the sea route TO India-corre-
snonds exactly with the Americans motive in

waters because their territory is thereby threat
