rpWO widely different but both im-
portant articles appear in this
issue of Great Britain and the East.
One, by J. M. Bee, tells'of the dazzling
fields of opportunity in the Near and

“...British ships have continu-
ously supplied Tobruk, so Bardia had to
go. It is an impressive example of the
Navy’s contribution to the Libyan battle.
Iraq and Vichy
Iraq’s decision to break off diplomatic
relations with Vichy is simply consistent
with General Nuri as-Said’s uncom-
promising policy towards those who have
any relations with the Axis. The
official reason advanced is Vichy’s atti-

sphere in the Middle East has been ex-
tended to include Iraq, Persia, Syria,
and Palestine, and it also covers Egypt,
where it has its headquarters at Cairo,
and the Sudan. The Corporation will
have a unique opportunity in this vast
and promising area in the days to come,
but its services will be even more useful in
South-Eastern Europe when it is possible
to begin the restoration of economic life
in the Balkans....”
