“...may calculate that sufficient will remain for her objects, but by the interval of comparative quiet given to the West she has enabled Great Britain and America to add immensely to their defensive strength. For the moment we would consider another aspect of the campaign. ThteCRussians stand not only defending their own soil, but forming a powerful barrier against any German march to the East. Until they are disposed of in one way or another, Hitler can swing no armies eastward to the conquest of Iraq or Iran and finally of India. Through the ages the dream of the conquerors coming from Europe has been the same —an empire carved out among the lands of the Eastern races. Germany has the same purpose, but can never attempt iltsi realisation while Russia remains unbroken. The battle of the Soviets is for the defence of Russian soil in the first place; circumstances make it as certainly a battle for the freedom of Eastern peoples. Hitler would no doubt will that at this crisis, upon which hangs...”

“...Great Britain and the East July 10, 1941. (From Our Baghdad Correspondent') The Nazi Coup that Failed Inside Story of Rashid Ali’s Treachery It will take Iraq some time to recover from the criminal folly of the German quisling, Rashid Ali. Luckily the usurp- ing regime had a short life, but it was long enough to com- plicate the healing task of Jamil Madfai and his associates. The Iraqi people are now seeing that Germany’s sole interest in Iraq was to promote trouble and unrest—to the point of war—whereas Britain’s obvious interest is to keep the country at peace. Rashid Ali and his confederates made great play of Britain’s alleged violation of the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of alliance signed in 1930. But that is an incomplete picture, very incomplete indeed. The treaty provides for help by each party to the other should the other find himself at war. In September, 1939, there was no point in Iraq’s going to war with Germany, but the then Iraqi Government at once broke off diplomatic relations...”

“...information was absolutely right. But mention has been publicly made, not only of the columns from Iraq, but also of troops from Transjordan and it is about these latter that I write. As I have often emphasised, Transjordan has already proved of very considerable value to the Allied cause. Its ruler, the Amir Abdullah, has never swerved from the path which he outlined at the beginning of hostilities, and his subjects have loyally followed his lead. During the height of the Rashid Ali affair, which might have been thought to disturb profoundly ail Arab opinion, the people of Trans- jordan made not the slightest sign of wishing to harass the British in a delicate and difficult task. On the contrary, they zealously supported every move to restore the rightful regime in Iraq, and they showed most justifiable pride on the return to Amman of the Arab Legion after it had played its part in helping to rid Iraq of an Axis tool. ' An Epic Story So it has been in the Allies’ fighting against the Vichy people...”

“...Exchequer grants to the tune of one million pounds, receiving £3,290,000 in place of the £4,242,000 originally specified. Notwithstanding the expected deficit of £243,000, there was a cash surplus enabling the total reserve to be increased to £4,300,000 If the Axis sphere of influence is to include Soviet Russia, the Near East, and Africa, says the Right Wing Japanese newspaper Kokumin, there is no reason why Italy and Germany should not recognise Japan’s influence over India, Australia, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Soviet territory east of the Urals.” Mr. Quo Tai-Chi, the new Chinese Foreign Minister and former Ambassador in London has arrived at Chungking.

“...to tackle economic problems. The territories over which the Imperial Army of the Middle East has acquired control are of considerable importance. In addition to Abyssinia and other former Italian East African possessions, they now include a large part of Syria, and will soon, it is believed, embrace the whole of that countiy. Hitherto, the High Command of the Middle East has had to deal with the economic problems affecting these countries, and also those of the two Allied countries, Egypt and Iraq, the economic life of which has been affected by the presence of British forces. But since military experts are hardly qualified to tackle such problems as the fixing of exchange rates in occupied countries or the regula- tion of their foreign trade, they have had to depend largely upon advice from Whitehall. For obvious reasons, how- ever, it is much more satisfactoiy to have someone on the spot who has both the authority and qualifications to take decisions concerning economic matters. As to...”
