- Title:
- British Desiderata in Regard to the Baghdad Railway
- Scope & Content:
- This confidential memorandum, signed R V, concerns Britain's policy with regards to the Baghdad Railway following the occupation of the Mesopotamia. The memorandum details two variant policies: (1) regarding the Railway not as private property, but as a Turkish State railway, and that all its assets in Mesopotamia should therefore be transferred to the Iraq State pending transfer to an Allied Railway Company; and (2) a proposal for the internationalisation of the Railway to be controlled by Great Britain, France and Italy, and perhaps the United States of America. The advantages and disadvantages vis-a-vis British interests are then further discussed throughout the report.
