“...sense that no diplomatic pressure has been applied, Afghans may be glad enough to get rid of a body of men whose presence in their country raised much suspicion, and might have had an unpleasant sequel. Afghan desire to demonstrate its neutrality may be taken for granted. Situated between Russia and India, it is one of the high roads through which the Nazis hope to pass when they undertake the conquest of India, of which they repeatedly talk in their broadcasts. It is as desirable as it was in Iraq and Iran that none of tfieir nationals should be already there preparing the ground for invasion. All the gateways to India may now be regarded as barred unless the operations in Russia take such a turn as nobody but a Hitler in his dreams can be anticipating. India and Democracy The discussion upon “ India and Democracy,” which Sir George Schuster initiated at a recent meeting of the East India Association, attracted a very considerable audience and was the occasion for the first appearance of...”

“...interruption and restriction by bad weather. Yet the fact is apparent that the final blows in the war must be given on land. Air and sea combats are merely valuable preliminaries to the crushing of armies. It is in the East and not the West that opportunities present them- selves. Libya has yet to be recovered. Victory there would destroy finally Italian offensive power and make easier a new route through Italy itself to the mainland. The doors to the farther East and into Egypt have been closed in Iraq, Iran, and Syria and have to be kept closed. So long as these points of vantage are held we have routes by which Russia can be aided with more than munitions from the large supplies that have become available from India. It is Hitler’s object to break across this line of supply if he can possibly do so; it must be ours to keep it open. While Russia holds out—and the tenacity of her resistance excites the admiration and the surprise of the whole world—we shall not be devoid of one field in which...”

“...developments in the world outside Iraq, such as .the utter discomfiture of Russia, for instance, or the penetration of Turkey by the Nazis, it is not incon- ceivable. that certain disgruntled elements in' Iraq would attempt to start another rebellion. Iraq in the past has suffered from many a crisis which was not in reality. a natural or a popular crisis, but was engendered by a few ambitious men anxious to seize the reins of power, or to benefit from those who might so seize them. As storms can arise on a clear day, so can the waters of Iraq suddenly be disturbed. 1 here must, therefore, always be a firm hand on the filler. In this respect it is fortunate that General Nuri al-Said is once more at the helm. It needs courage to direct Iraq’s destinies at the moment, but Nuri al-Said has never been wanting in that quality. In former years, the supreme band was that of King Faisal the First, and every year since his death it has become clearer how much Iraq, both town and country, depended...”
