8. Middle Euphrates. Though there was still a certain
amount of trouble before the Coup d’Etat, this has now
quietened down, everybody is sitting on the fence to see

9. Palestine Reaction . In the period following the

were carried out by Baghdadi thugs for their own ends.
Up to the present the new Government has made no
official announcements as to their Palestine policy, but it
seems likely that it will carry on with that of its predecessors.

after which they will receive a pension. So far little interest
has been displayed in the scheme. (R.A.P. Int. Report).

14. Floating Dock . It is reported by H.B.M. Consul for
Khuzistan that he has heard from a fairly reliable source that
for some time past Bayendor has been trying to persuade Tehran
to transfer the Naval Base to Bushire, the dock being anchored
off Dastak. The Shah, in person, has opposed the scheme urging
