“...the right flank of that battle front of which the westward section lies about Tobruk. Our eyes are largely on Russia in these critical days. Not less keenly fixed on that enormous front on which the Nazi military machine fain would achieve the annihilation of the Soviets as a military force are the eyes of the Middle East. The pattern of events in the countries between India and the Mediterranean did not at once manifest its evolution. A Revealing Pattern For a time most people thought of, say, Iraq and Syria in their relation to Great Britain and Germany respectively. But the wisdorq of the steps which the ^Allies took in those regions, steps justified abundantly from the im- mediate point of view, now becomes infinitely more preg- nant. The Nazis must have planned the attack on the Soviets long before it took place; they at any rate were in a position to realise the strategic significance of the Middle Eastern countries. Had their power been even greater than it is, they would surely have...”

“...on September 26, at the age of sixty-nine. Mr. Balfour was founder and head of Bal- four, Beatty and Co., Ltd., and chairman of the Power Securities Corporation Ltd., and had played a prominent part in the development of the electrical industry. The firm of Balfour, Beatty and Co. built the Kut Barrage in Iraq, the principal development project as yet carried out by an Iraqi Administration. The Barrage is designed to regulate the flow of the water of the Tigris into the Shatt-al- Gharraf, and has resulted in a great extension of the area • i. j 1 BANK MISR Societe Anonyme Egyptienne R.

“...there would be an addi- tion to the programme of port development. Both Alex- andretta and Mersin are linked by rail to Aleppo, and in view of the potential importance of both ports it is natural that their reconstruction should be taken in hand at the same time. It is a matter of supreme satisfaction that this contract should have gone to a British firm. In no part of the world are there more abiding monuments to British engineering genius than there are in the Middle East, notablv in Egypt and Iraq. And the present contract is an indica- tion of the work that should be forthcoming after the war. * * * Two developments of interest in Indian industry, which have reached us somewhat belatedly, are worthy of men- tion. The first relates to the testing of industrial products and the second to the standardisation of such products. It is learned, in regard to the first, that the Government of Bombay has accepted the recommendation of the Bom- bay Economic and Industrial Survey Committee that pro-...”

“... Complaint was made that whereas at the beginning of 1940 the Government was all for increasing exports, it is now seeking to curtail them. I doubt if the meeting suf- ficiently appreciated that a policy which was sound early in 1940 may, due to changed conditions, have become unsound by September, 1941. What are those changes? France, out of the war. Italy, in. Russia, in—and needing supplies desperately. Increased British forces to be supplied, not only in this country, but in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Singapore, and elsewhere. Increas- ing Lease-Lend supplies, beyond our hopes of early 1940, to transport across the seas. I cannot believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his Treasury Officials are unaware of the country’s gain from ex- port trade. I cannot believe that the Government has overlooked its effect upon the National economy! If the Government decides, and it alone knows all the facts, that less transport and less labour must be devoted to this impor- tant purpose, then...”
