“...German soldier who was found in a river has
Been announced in a communique issued in Belgrade.
A clear warning to both belligerents that Turkey will resist
any forceful action against her was the main feature of President
Inonu’s eagerly awaited speech to the National Assembly.
Information received in Russian circles at Ankara suggests that
the German drive in the south of the Eastern Front has been
halted, fit least temporarily.
A new pledge to fulfil the treaty between Iraq and Britain,
which provides that in wartime Iraq should help Britain in
various important ways, was given by the Regent, Amir
Abdullah, at the opening ‘of the ninth session of the Iraqi
Parliament.
Nearly 10,000 Iraqi labourers are at present employed by the
British Army in the Baghdad and Basrah areas improving com-
munications.

We are given to understand that the United States is
prepared to send a military mission to Iraq to study the
feasibility of constructing the unfinished link in the Berlin-
Baghdad railway as a route for war supplies to the Soviet
Union. U.S. army technicians would investigate Britain’s
proposal for spanning the 100-miies’ gap in the Iraq
iailway to link up the Persian Gulf with the Turkish
railway system, which has direct connections with the
Soviet railways east of the Black Sea. Britain is reported
to have asked for assurance under the Lease-Lend Act to
carry out the undertaking, and to have requested aid in
improving the Trans-Iranian Railway.
Meanwhile, Reuter reports a Vichy news agency mes-
sage to the effect that the construction of a railway from
Diarbekir, in South-Eastern Turkey, to the frontier of
Iraq is well advanced. It will be about 167 miles in
length, and will link up the Turkish and Iraqi railway
systems. The work is being pressed...”
