IS MUSSOLINI TOPPLING ?
A FLURRY went through the free
world at the rumours that there was
trouble in Italy. The story was that King
Victor Emmanuel had called in Mussolini
to discuss Hitler’s speech to the dummy
Reichstag formally taking over powers
which the Fuehrer had already used for
years, that he then sent for Ciano, and
afterwards his personal advisers, includ-
ing the displaced General...”

“...agitators, it appears, are trying to get in
touch with discontented sections in Persia,
Iraq, and Syria presumably with a view to
Fifth Columnist movements in the event
of favourable developments.
They have recently turned their atten-
tion to the Kurds on the south-eastern
frontier of Turkey, no doubt with the
idea that this community, which has been
the source of troublesome unrest in the
past, might prove particularly pliable in
adroit handling. Naturally the Turks have
been told that unrest among the Kurdish
tribes is due to British activities. Nazi
intriguers always contrive to saddle this

Turkish authorities, who are not exactly
blind to what is happening, are not
impressed by the representations?

projects', the prudent administration of
successive Governments has made Iraq's
financial position an object of envy for
all other countries, the Budgets normally
showing comfortable balances and the
external debt being small. The growing
oil royalties provided the means for new
undertakings, and those that were em-
barked upon, such as the Kut Barrage
which was carried out by Messrs. Balfour,
Beatty & Co., had the object of the
development of the country's resources,
or, like the bridges across the Tigris, the
improvement of communications.
But substantial though the advance has
been it cannot be maintained that the
the expectations held out at the end of
the last war have come near fulfilment.
Hopes were held out of a great cotton
growing region, rivalling if not surpassing
Egypt, while Iraq, it was suggested,
