Jarolimek said, in relation to Article 2, that the only European air line with which Junkers could hope to connect one of their Persian lines within the three months specified was the Russian service Baku-Rostov-Moscow operated by a Ukrainian company. To make this connection Junkers intended to operate a hydroplane service between Baku and Pahlavi without subsidy. The service via Tabriz and Anatolia was too difficult and dangerous for their present resources and aircraft, even three-engined machines, but he hoped before long to connect with an Imperial Airways service at Quraitu. Regarding Article 8(a), Jarolimek said that the conditions under which Junkers machines and personnel would be placed at the disposal of the Ministry of War would form the subject of a special agreement. In any case, under no circumstances would German personnel be used in operations unless they volunteered. He ridiculed the idea of the heavy Junkers commercial machines being taken seriously by any European power as a factor in military operations. T T G I
