AFFAIRS IN IRAK
' ■ GOVERNMENT ASSAILED. ANTI-BRITISH POLITICIANS. BAGHDAD, September 13. The chairman of tlia Nationalist Party in Bagdad has issued a state* meat attacking the Irak Government's policy. He says -that as the country is still in ’mourning for the late King Feisaf he is postponing the publication of a manifesto until 'later. Presumably the objection of the party is to the Prime Minister's declaration in favour of the 'continuance of the alliance between Britain and Irak.
The Government lias suppressed for 30 days an Arabic newspaper which declared that King Feisal’s death was really due to suicide. dj correspondent of the Daily Mail states that rival factions already are working to displace King Ghazi, possibly in favour of Feisal’s brother, exKing Ali. The first act of the new regime significantly has been to displace Nuiri Pasha, who is reported to be proißritish.
It i s thought that Britain may be obliged to resume control of Irak in order to preserve her economic and political interests in the Near East. King Feisal’s death was the excuse for a slight anti-British demonstration in Aleppo, and the French authorities are taking precautions against further trouble.
