“...he declared : “ I am satisfied that the great majority of the people of Cyprus are not discontented under the present administration.” Echoes of the Mosul Murder In the excitement caused by the death of King Ghazi of Iraq, the British Consul at Mosul, Mr. Monck-Mason, was murdered. Six persons were imprisoned for the crime, but only last week it was made known that the Governor of Mosul had offered £500 for information leading to the arrest of the actual murderer. In the House of Commons on July 5, Mr. Stokes, reflecting the sentiments of a considerable section of Iraqis, sought by questions to suggest that German nationals or Iraqi nationals of Germany were involved in the crime ; the matter was left incompletely illuminated.- That agents of Germany have been busy in Iraq in an anti-British sense is not to be denied. Among both Arabs and Kurds they have been working. The Baghdad authorities are fully aware of these activities, cleverly conducted though they are. It may be unwise always...”

“...from these pages, and drink greedily from the pellucid stream that flows through them. Some of the stories in this book have been published before in periodicals ; it is remarkable how they support re-printing. What was funny twenty years ago is not always funny to-day ; but the fun of Major Jarvis is of the sort that age does not wither. Peacock would have liked him, and Shakespeare, and even Rabelais. The Emperor of Japan has approved the Government’s proposal to establish Japanese Legations in Iraq and Bulgaria. cm adopt with advantage A.T.M, Street Fire Alarm Apparatus enables an instant, accurate notification of an outbreak to be sent to a Fire Station from a Street Box by the simple act of pulling a handle.

We were moving in amazing times, he said, and no one could guarantee that the annual dinner would take place next year— though, he added, sotto voce...”

“...would yet have achieved considerable importance. But wider aims were in view in the development of the port, aims which are now in the course of complete fulfilment, and in addition to being the front door to Palestine Haifa is now the gateway to the markets of the Middle East. No one who knows the potentialities of Iraq can doubt the future of Haifa both as a port for the increasing exports and imports of that country, a traffic which is bound to expand enormously within a very few years, and as a centre for the export of Iraq oil. It is a matter for regret that it has not been found possible on financial grounds to proceed with the project for a railway to link up Haifa with Iraq, but the substitution for it of a road should in this age of the motor provide compensation for the absence of a rail track. If it does not then the example of Iran may yet be followed and a great railway constructed across the Middle East. Future of Rubber Industry Sir John Campbell, Economic and Financial Adviser...”

“...condition throughout the country, and in other ways the work of peaceful and orderly development makes good and steady progress. Business in Iraq I now come to Iraq. Our business in that country is not hampered by exchange difficulties, and our branches there continue to enjoy moderate prosperity. Tfie country has courageously survived the tragic loss of its beloved Ruler. Iraq, like her neighbours in Turkey and Iran, has set herself a programme of vigorous national development, in which she is powerfully aided by the mineral oil resources of the country. Her achievements over the past year, notably in irrigation and the control of flood water, have been considerable, and there is promise of continued progress on sound lines. The currency is under efficient control, and has never given rise to any difficulty or inconvenience. The total foreign trade of Iraq for 1938 amounted to £12,800,000, of which imports were £9,300,000 and exports £3,500,000. As compared with the previous year there is a...”
