“...the Sharifian family, the Saoudi family, the family of the Sharif Ali Haidar, and of Egyptian houses, have been put forward; and the issue remains to-day as open as it has ever been. Iraq’s Interest For years now the authorities in Iraq have had their eye on Syria, for despite the impressive record of Iraq and its vast potentialities, those who still proclaim allegiance to the Hashimite cause have not forgotten that their beloved King, Faisal, once ruled over Syria ; and the past glories of Damascus still appeal strongly to all Arabs. The recent visit to the Lebanon of the young King, Faisal II, was attended with considerable ceremony, and it is not to be doubted that the occasion was taken to indulge in significant conversations between Arab leaders of Iraq and of Syria. So far, however, nothing definite has emerged of any political alliance between Damascus and Baghdad. Damascus Looks South ■ At the same time, however, the stock of the Amir Abdullah of Trans-Jordan has in this connection...”

“...estimates of the Iraqi State Railways Department for the current year provide for a modest surplus of £4,233 on an estimated revenue of £745,000. As the railways are faced with a considerable outlay at the present time, both in regard to the extension of the system and for renewals and replacements, this hopeful estimate is very satisfactory. The railway receipts in Iraq are affected to a considerable extent by the harvest and the marketing position, and the only factor that would now be likely Great Britain and the East. August 10, 1930 to upset the estimate would be a new deterioration in the international situation. As Iraq is only at the beginning of her development, it is certain that in future years the results of the Iraqi State Railways, will be increasingly favourable. Malaya Trade Statistics The total value of imports into Malaya during the month of June amounted to £5,530,000, which compares with £5,370,000 in June, 1938, and £7,325,000 in the same month in 1937.

“...been made in some of the countries; but, to be quite frank, special factors have been in operation where there has been the greatest advance—the oilfields of Iraq, for instance, and, in the case of Palestine, immigration, which, at its height, put that country in the van of economic progress in the Middle East. If all had been plain sailing since the War, Budgets would not have been a perpetual source of anxiety, the need for foreign loan defaults would not have arisen, and, most important of all, there would have been ample finance for the many public works which are required in every one of the countries to stimulate progress. It is a tribute to energy and initiative that so much should have been accomplished in a period which at the best can only be described as dispiriting. Naturally, progress has been greatest in countries like Iraq, where factors have existed to counteract depressions ; and, in view of what has been accomplished, one can only deplore the lost years, for if circumstances...”
