Note 33 — Chapter VIII · GREAT BRITAIN BLOCKS THE WAY

See P. Rohrbach, Die Bagdadbahn, p. 18; Reventlow, op. cit., pp. 338–343. That Rohrbach’s frank avowal of the menace of the Bagdad Railway to India and Egypt was not without influence in Great Britain is evidenced by the fact that long quotations from Die Bagdadbahn were read into the records of the House of Commons by the Earl of Ronaldshay, on March 23, 1911. Parliamentary Debates, fifth series, Volume 23, p. 628.
