Russia's Persian Advance Deepens English Alarm
The Boston Transcript profile notes England confronts Russia's growing influence in Persia as a new Russian Persian treaty limits British advantages. It traces Russia's strategy via diplomacy, banks, and rail concessions, marks the treaty's weaknesses, and cites shifts in tariffs and finance that favor Russia while diminishing Britain's leverage.
British shift on Persia seen as lesson for future policy
The Times argues Britain must recognize its Persian interests tied to India and avoid past overconfidence. It notes increased awareness of Russian schemes and the danger of Russian influence in Persia, supporting a signed agreement with a tricky neighbor over vague diplomacy. It recalls Earl Cranborne in Parliament affirming Britain’s control of the Persian Gulf.
