The result of the war depends on production—and the brains to use the petrol engines of war in new, faster, more surprising ways. A second thing is sure. How happy the peace will be depends on production and the brains to sell the products. Now it is granted as an axiom that if Hitler is not beaten the peace will not be worth having.

“...cereals she can produce. The temporary switch-over is therefore Hobson’s choice. Iraq and Britain The Iraqi Prime Minister, General Nuri as-Said, entered office with clear ideas as to the steps necessary to eliminate any traces of the recent unhappy incident in Iraq and to prevent the possibility of the repetition of such an occurrence. As a first step he has interned a large number of Axis propagandists or agents, and the Regent's speech from the throne at the recant opening of Parliament indicated that he has in view the reorganisation of the Army and of the educational system. It may be taken for granted that when conditions permit he will take steps to push on with development projects. He shares with the great majority of far-seeing Iraqis the conviction that the British association is indispensable to Iraq. The country’s great natural resources still await adequate exploita- tion, and it is realised that Iraq with British assistance would be able fittingly to exploit them and thus achieve...”

“...provided lor an Italo- German attack on Egypt at a time when the Allied forces were by no means pre- pared to receive it and a major disaster would have probably ensued. Germany would also then have been free to attack Russia in February of this year as was her plan, and Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran would almost certainly have fallen into the clutches of Nazi domination. As a result, India and Africa would have come under the shadow of a direct menace. These crises have been averted not only by Greece’s resistance to Italy but also by her stubborn and determined fight against the Germans’ overwhelming weight for seven more weeks; and to-day the situation in the Middle East—in Egypt, Abyssinia, Iran, Iraq and Syria is completely different, and Turkey, whose fate hung in the balance, feels the weight of the support of a strong counterpoise from the south to the German threat upon her northern borders. An Inestimable Service To-day the magnificent resistance of the Greeks within occupied Greece...”

“...objectives. The occupation of Yugoslavia and Greece was only a stage on the journey. He wanted the Aegean coast line to im- prove1 the Axis control of the Mediter- ranean and to facilitate an attack on Asia Minor and the Suez Canal. But in the light of events it can be concluded that an immediate onslaught was not a definite part of his plans, unless local conditions favoured such a move. They did not. The Axis forces in North Africa were held up at Tobruk and the Libyan frontier. The revolt in Iraq proved a damp squib, and with the solu- tion of the position there by swift British action, and more slowly in Syria, it became clear that an adventure in the Middle East would be a gamble. And Hitler has not embarked cn wild-cat schemes since the war began. He was now firmly placed on the Aegean coast, and, which may prove more sigm.ficant in the end, had reached the Turkish frontier. Why Russia was Attacked Evidently what deterred him from an immediate attack on the Middle East was the possibility...”

“...consignments to Canada, Aus- tralia, South Africa, and other parts of the British Empire. An official of the British Silk Stockings Corporation—which has been authorised by the Board of Trade to deal with the release of silk stockings to home and foreign markets—recently stated that the stockings which are being exported are the 8,000,000 pairs, valued at £1,500,000, which were "frozen” in storage by a Board of Trade order a year ago. Middle East Trade Activity There is also great activity in Iran and Iraq in the matter of improving transport facilities, reflected in the greater demand for foreign products to be transported to Russia, Turkey, and Syria. The demand for Java sugar to these destinations has shown a marked increase, while prices for shipments to Basra, Koweit, and Bahrein have also improved. N.E.I. Imports for August The N.E.I.
