Baghdad's H Rayl~Am H reproducted on November 4th an article
previously published in the Italian newspaper w Assione Coloniale”
The article is entitled n England's policy in the East - Iraqi
oil plays its part - England wants -Arab unity.” and is signed by
Sgr. Ruggero Orlando.
It is said in the article that to rule Arab countries is now
a vital question to England for two reasons:” First, to protect
its land, sea and air communications with India and second to
guarantee to the British Government, in cae of war, or the Iraq
Petroleum Cy, in time of peace, the possession of Iraqi oil.
The article thhn states that England is trying to push the
Arabs away from the coasts and that the plan is nearing success.
The littoral of the Mediterranean, of the Red Sea, of the Aden
Gulf, of the Indian Ocean and of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
are no more the
possession of the Arabs. The latter are now trying to break the
chain and attack the most vulnerable point which is Palestine.
The policy Britain is believed to follow in order to ensure
its supremacy is to create either union or division among the
Arab countries. It seems now that England is more enclined

to an Arab union are about to be blotted out. l.*» i rench supremacy
has much weakened in the East thanks to the f, Front Populaire
Government. France is about to abandon Syria and will be content
with a mere protectorate over the Lehanons and Alaouites.- 2.-
Jews seem willing to abandon their vast claims in the hope to
restore peace in Palestine. So England is free to follow its new
policy which consists in uniting Syria and Palestine to Iraq, in
pushing the Arabs away from the Sea, in taking Alexandretta from
them, in putting the Lebanons and Alaouites under French protecto
rate and in creating a Jewish National Home in Palestine.
England believes this policy to give satisfaction to the Araos
while It guarantees the British military and political as well
as economical interests. « . , , .
The author ends by saying that the creation of an axab^union
connected with the Kingdom of Egypt might bring forward again the
question of the Islam Khalifat
