“...Morning Post ” For any neutral country strategically situated as Turkey is there are almost certain to be shocks while the war lasts. Two dangers to Turkey’s frontiers have been removed by the settlement of the Iraqi and Syrian incidents. As regards Iran, the Turks are well aware that the Anglo-Soviet action is not against the Iranians, and involves no menace to them, but is aimed at the Nazis who were endeavouring to create a situation in Iran similar to that for which they were reponsible in Iraq. It will occasion no surprise if it be true that Von Papen advised Iran through the Iranian Minister at Ankara to prolong the negotiations until the Germans had captured Odessa. It would be quite in keeping with the Nazi methods of intrigue in the Middle East. The Turks may express sympathy with Iran, but they know that had they been in the place of the Allies they would have been com- pelled to take the same line. Balkan Unrest The increasing unrest in the Balkans is another factor that may conduce...”

“...attention amid greater events. But any repetition of those happenings during the present conflict would touch far more deeply the whole of the operations in the Middle East. There has been no haste about Russian and British action. For months past the Iranian Government has been fully informed as to the anxieties excited by the large number of Germans who have filtered into the country. Iran had been given the fullest opportunity of seeing the nature of German intrigue in the adjoining territory of Iraq and the consequences that followed upon Nazi activities there. She had the most material interest in keeping on good terms with the British Government, but failed to take the steps that would have made her professed neutrality real. She has nothing to fear from the occupa- tion by the Allied Powers, Who seek neither territorial aggrandisement nor economic privileges. If fear of Germany has prompted Iranian evasiveness, she may have cause for gratitude to those who have relieved her of a painful...”

“...aegis of Riza Shah Pahlavi, and, alike in Britain and Russia, sincere hopes that that regeneration would proceed in peace, with Iran growing stronger all the while. The Saadabad Pact, linking the four Middle Eastern countries, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey, was cordially welcomed, and there were those who believed that the whole Middle East was destined for such a phase of tranquil development as it had not enjoyed for centuries. Nazi Intrigues Those hopes were belied by Nazi Germany. First in Iraq, then in Syria, and most recently in Iran, the Nazis have sought to shatter Middle Eastern stability. Regard- less of the sufferings necessarily encompassing those whom they called their friends, they forced Britain to take active measures in Iraq and Syria. Defeated there, they con- centrated on Iran, whence, in a last desperate fling, they hoped to embroil the whole Middle East. The lessons abundantly to be learned from experience elsewhere were not, seemingly, to be le'arned in Teheran...”

Greater Stability in Iraq In a dispatch to the Daily Telegraph Mr. Arthur Merton, who is in Baghdad,- says: “ The new Cabinet appears to be establishing itself, and to be eliminating the reactionary elements. Iraq, which in May was Nazified, is now resum- ing a normal atmosphere. In this the Allied success in Syria, Turkey’s firmness, Germany’s difficulties in Russia, and Russo-British co-operation have all clearly played a part. The Regent has also contributed largely, and the work of the British Ambassador, Sir Kinahan Cornwallis, has been a great factor in restoring confidence. “ Economically, Iraq is suffering mainly through over- seas trade difficulties. She has lost Japan as a buyer of her cotton crop, but it is anticipated that India will be able to absorb this. The spending capacity of the British...”

“...fourteenth century, has been expropriated by the Germans. The monks have been expelled and an property confiscated. The Turkish. Ambassador in Berlin recently saw Hitler at his field headquarters. The meeting has evoked considerable interest among observers at Ankara. Several sections of the Aleppo-Mosul Railway, destroyed during the military operations in Iraq and Syria, have now been restored and passenger and goods traffic has been resumed. The trade talks between the Turkish authorities and delegates of the United Kingdom Commercial Corporation have been resumed. They had not been proceeding regularly following the campaigns in Iraq and Syria. Palestine’s Income-Tax Ordinance, which became law last week- end, is based on the principle of generous exemptions. The Imperial Government has agreed’ to purchase from Cyprus this year’s crop of carobs, or locust beans. The crop is the Island’s main export, and amounts to over £100,000 in value.
