“...that the area is malarial. Possibly the Health Department may devise ways and means to get rid of the mosquitoes, so that we may have a sailing centre in Northern Iraq. Sa’adabad Pact The new Cabinet’s intention to uphold all Iraq’s treaty undertakings, including the Sa’adabad Pact, is shown in an exchange of telegrams between the Foreign Minister, H.E. Sayid Ali Jowdat, and his Turkish and Iranian col- leagues. In his messages to those two Ministers, Sayid Ali Jowdat expressed the pleasure it gave him to have an opportunity to assure two friendly neighbouring States of Iraq’s wish to continue co-operation and friendly relations with them on the lines laid down in the Sa’adabad Pact. In their replies the Turkish and Iranian Ministers expressed their best wishes for a successful term of office for Sayid Ali Jowdat, and said that Iraq could rely on their co-opera- tion and friendship. {Continued from previous column) " Social Service ” page, first started by the only Catholic paper in China,...”

“...derived from synthetic production and from the Rou- manian oilfields—Germafiy had long cast covetous eyes towards Iraq, Iran, and, more recently, Russia as potential means of replenishing stocks. The road to the first-named lay across Syria—which is also the gateway to the East, to Palestine, and to the Suez Canal—and with the collapse of France, the French forces in Syria came under the con- trol of Hitler’s vassal, the Vichy Administration. The stage was therefore set for the first step towards Iraq. Nazi Plan Foiled But matters did not work out in accordance with the Nazi plan. The oil pipe-line from Kirkuk to Tripoli in Syria was cut (the refinery at Tripoli, incidentally, has recently been destroyed by fire after an unexplained explo- sion); the pro-Axis rising fomented by Rashid Ali failed ingloriously; and the success of Imperial troops in Syria has barred that route to Iraq. Indeed, as a commentator observes, the denial to the Germans of the use of Syrian bases has pushed back the threat...”

“...are again maintaining the dividend at 12| per cent. In view of the sphere of operations of the company, the shares have naturally been affected by the ebb and flow of war developments in the Near East. The present price, 2 J, represents a consider- able advance on the lowest level touched in the past twelve months. The announcement made a few days ago by the Institute of London Underwriters that the additional premium over the basic rates imposed last May for war risks on cargo bound to and from Iraq has now been withdrawn is a significant commentary on the changed conditions in the Persian Gulf, consequent upon the successful Allied operations in that region. The Struggle for Oil (Concluded from page 62) troops may be expected to take part, may prove to be of decisive importance. Oil is the all-important motivating force in modern warfare. Without it the Nazi war machine must inevitably be brought to a standstill sooner or later; but if adequate supplies be assured, there would be no limit...”

“...building construction throughout Iran, and in the energetic pursuit of railway construction eastward to Khorasan, north-westward to Azerbaijan, and south- eastward towards the Baluchistan frontier, where we re- opened our Zahedan branch last summer. The expansion of internal activity calls for more currency, and the authorised limit of note issue, supported by adequate reserves, has recently been raised to two thousand million rials. The actual circulation is much below this figure. Conditions in Iraq In Iraq the poor harvest of last year left no surplus of wheat, and little of barley, for export, and the Basra date crop was partly unsold. The cotton crop, which was a good one, was taken by Japan. In the late spring of this year the normal process of trade was abruptly halted, as you know, by political misadventure. Our Baghdad branch was under hostile control from May 2 till June 10, but no irreparable damage was suffered in this brief inter- lude. I take the opportunity of expressing our thanks...”
