London Agent, Recalled, Now to Preach Independence London, Feb. 17.
Muzahim Bey, the Iraq Diplomat-fe Agent in London, has been recalled to Iraq and General Jafar Pasha has been appointed to suc-seed him-in that post, which he held before becoming Premier of Iraq.
General Jafar Pasha, it may be recalled, resigned the Premiership of Iraq on January 9, following the resignation of the Ministers of Finance and the Gnterior on the Publication of the terms of the treaty between Great Britain and Iraq, signed in London on December 14, which provides for the termination of the British Mandato in 1932, when Iraq shall enter the League of Nations. The Iraq Parliament was dissolved on January 19.
entirely in favour of an alliance between Great Britain ant Iraq, but am against the Mandate and dead against the new Treaty, declared Muzahim Bey, when interviewed by Reuter to-day. He added that the Mandate ought to be revoked, the capitulations abolished and a treaty concluded recognizing Iraq's complete independence. He emphasized that conscription is necessary in Iraq, which, otherwise, he declared, cannot be defended. He expressed the hope that the lessons of the past would ensure the advance of the Arab cause, Muzahim Bey expects to reach Bagdad at the end of March and intends, immediately he arrives thers, to found a Nationalist party.—Reuter.
