[24] Baker, _op. cit._, Volume I, Chapter IV, contains an excellent account of the inter-Allied negotiations of 1916–1917 regarding Asiatic Turkey, based upon the private papers of Woodrow Wilson. _Cf._, also, _Full Texts of the Secret Treaties as Revealed at Petrograd_. [25] The Treaty provided that the Bagdad Railway should not be extended southward from Mosul or northward from Samarra without the express consent of both France and Great Britain and in no case before the construction of a railway from Bagdad to Aleppo _via_ the Euphrates Valley—the purpose being, as far as possible, to develop southern Mesopotamia and the Syrian coast rather than Kurdistan. By a subsequent agreement of December, 1918, between Messrs. Lloyd George and Clémenceau, Mosul was transferred to Great Britain. [26] W. L.

The agreement appears to have been negotiated with the Italians by Mr. Lloyd George, in April, 1917, while Mr. Balfour was in America with the British Mission. It was amended in August, as a result of the insistence of the Italians that they had not received an adequate share of the spoils.
