?• There have been many storms in the Political tea cup
lately involving accusations of bribery and other quarrels.
The Prime Minister has done his best to preserve the
peace and retain his cabinet intact b|ct even he was not able
to prevent the Minister of Economics and Communications, Jalal
Baban, from resigning over a question of financial compensation
for a road making contractor. Hi a place has been taken by
the Finance Minister who has assumed the additional port folio
of Economics and Communications.
During this minor crisis the King showed no desire
to retain the Madfa*i Government in power and he was quick to
show that the recent activities of the Prime Minister to curb
the Royal Prerogative had forfeited him the Royal favour.
It is interesting to note that the cabinet is at
present left without its customary Kurdish member, but this
owing to the strong pan Arab sentiments at present prevailing
in the country and to the fact that Kurds have no love for
Valaj's* attitude towards Kurdish Nationalism, has yet raised
no unfavourable comment. (R.A.F. Intelligence Summary.)

men declared that the high handed treatment meted out by the
road guards and military authorities in Dashi hud decided them
to emigrate to the Arab side of the Gulf. This report is
stated not to be an exaggeration as it might at first appear
