ENGLAND MISUNDERSTANDING
Secretary Lansdowne Proeisims Such
4 Policy in Persian Gulf.

London. May 7.-Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has proclaimed a British
Monroe Doctrine in the Persian Gulf
and has practically notified the CONE
peting Powers that any attcmpt on
their part to establish a naval base
or fortified post in those waters means
war with Great Britain.
Il say without hesitation said the
Foreign Secretary dealing with the
subject in the House of Lords. that
we should regard the establishment OF
a naval base or a fortified port In the
Persian Gulf by any other Power as a
very grave menace to British interests.
and we should certainly resist it with
all the means at our disposal
Lord LansdOwne contended that 20
far as the navigation Of the Persian
Gulf was concerned. Great Britain held
a position different to that of the other
Powers. both because il was owing to
British entertrise and expenditure Of
life and money that the gulf was now
open to the commerce Of the world. and
because the protection Of the sea route
to India necessitated British predomi-
nance in the gulf
Lord Lansdowne's attitude in tbs
matter generally meets with approval
