The Arab newspaper of New-York M A1 Hoda” recently published a
well-documented article concerning the question of oil in the world.
The article was reproduced by several newspapers, mainly Lebanese
and Syrian. The author of the article does not particularly deal
with the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. but says that all foreign powers trying to
increase their influence in the Orient try at first to obtain conces
sions for the exploitation of oil-fields in the Near-East and Arab
countries. The article states that Hitler is now dreamirg the dream
of the ex-Emperor /ilhem II to create a Berlin-Baghdad axis. Hitler's
dream differs in the fact that there is no question for him of
establishing a link between East and West. His only interest lies
in the natural riches of the Orient. Each foreign power tries to
take a prominent place in the East at the expense of others. If
Lossul was a poor district, England would not think it so important.
Up to now the British Lion has won in this competetion for predominance
despite the enormous amount of money spent by dictatoiiidal powers for
propaganda in the East. They wan the natural riches of Iraq and
Syria.
The article ends with a refewrence to the recent agreement
