“...Alliance between Great Britain and Iraq, which laid down that if either country were involved in war the other would immediately come to its aid in the capacity of an ally, provides that the help to be given by the Iraq Government should consist of furnishing in Iraq territory all the facilities and assistance in their power. The Iraq Government, Mr. Butler stated, have made Great Britain and the East. September 21, 1939 it clear that they are prepared to carry out their Treaty obligations in the letter and in the spirit. They have severed relations with Germany, and have carried out precautionary measures which are regarded as very satisfactory. It has been well said that “ he gives twice who gives quickly,” and the haste of the Iraq Government to implement their pledges will be remembered with gratitude by Great Britain. That the action taken was only to be expected of Iraq with its high traditions in no way detracts from the significance of the event. Just as Iraq led the economic recovery in...”

“...Admittedly, he is at the same time an aristocrat, counting highly considerations of lineage; but his whole outlook on life, shaped largely by his religion, Islam, which emphasises the brotherhood of man, must predispose him against such a privileged regime as that of the present directors of Germany, a regime which, moreover, denies privileges to others whenever they stand, or appear to stand, in the way of the Reich. Unhesitating Support So has it come about that not only influential States, such as Iraq and Egypt, which are allies of Great Britain, but also territories such as Palestine and Syria, which have not yet gained their freedom— though Arab blood has been shed in either land in quest of it—have unhesitatingly rallied to the cause of Britain and France.

“...in their lot with the nations which stand for justice and self-determination for all, strong and weak alike. So far the All-India Muslim League has not declared itself in terms so forthright as those employed by the Prime Minister of the Punjab. But it is significant that the Council of the League recently declined to discuss a resolution suggesting that the Muslims should not co-operate with Britain in the event of war. Indian Muslims It has already become plain that the attitude of Egypt and Iraq in breaking off diplomatic relations, with Germany, the prompt rally of the Arabs in Palestine, despite their dislike of certain features of the recent White Paper, and the friendly cordiality of Turkey have in combination exerted a powerful influence upon the attitude of Indian Muslims of the politically minded classes. This attitude has no. doubt been strengthened by the characteristically forthright pronouncements of such rulers as H.E.H. the Nizam of Hyderabad, H.H. the Aga Khan, and Their...”
