SIR EDWARD GREY TELLS
OF ANGLO-RUSS|AN PACT
Agreement Regarding Persia
Necessary to Protect the
Frontier of India.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
LONDON. March Is, 1912.
Foreign relations are certain to occupy
a good deal of attention during the pres
ent session Of the British parliament, de-
spite the heavy bill of local legislation
forecast in the kings speech.
On the government side Of the house
Of commons there is a small but very
busy body of members whose great in
terest is foreign politics. They have not
been at all satisfied with the way in
which Sir Edward Grey has been carry
ing his office and they frequently
criticise him. Thus far their chief griev-
Great Britain and Russia.
Persian Integrity Desired.
So persistent have they been that Sir
Edward in a recent speech occupied con-
siderable time in replying to them. He
contended that there had been a tendency
to review the Anglo Russian agreement
from wrong point of view. Great Brit
ain had not assumed any new response
bilities under that agreement, as some
seemed to believe. Great Britain had al
ways wished to see the integrity of Per-
STA preserved, so that the agreement in
that respect was not an increase of re-
sponsibility.
Russia had obtained a dominant in
terest in northern Persia long before the
agreement was made, and to read into
the agreement an object to work against
Russian influence in that part of the
country was to read into it something
entirely contrary to the spirit of the
agreement. Sir Edward reminded his
critics that the agreement dealt with
Afghanistan and Tibet as well as Persia,
countries over which there had been fire.
quent diplomatic tension between Eng
land and Russia To remove that ten
sion was the real reason for the agree
ment and in this respect it had fulfilled
expectations.
Guarding Indian Frontier.
Besides having brought about better re-
lations between England and Russia, the
agreement would greatly improve the con-
dition of Persia. Certainly had 1t not been
for the agreement matters would have
been much worse there When the agree
ment was made Persia was on the eve Of
revolution, was falling into chaos. and
the government was breaking up. Had
there been no agreement when the revo-
tuition broke out Russia would have push
ed on to Teheran and consolidated her in
fiuence in northern Persia. England would
have had no security that that influence
would not have been used to push on
strategic movements, railway extensions
and so forth to the Indian frontier, and
she would have been pressed to take
measures in the territory bordering on
the Indian frontier to secure herself
against military aggression and strategic
expansion on the part Of Russia There
would have been continual friction and,
said Sir Edward, Lord Haldane would
be asking for Increased army estimates to
provide for further strengthening of our
position on the Indian frontier"
