EX-KAISER'S DREAM.
Berlin-Bagdad Railway Is Nazis' Present Aim.
BRITISH PRESS COMMENT.
(Reed. 11 a.m.) LONDON*, April 13
The diplomatic correspondent of the London "Observer" says Mr. Eden's reports to Cabinet had given a timely warning of the real purpose of Rashid Ali's coup in Iraq. The object of Germanv's Balkan and Libyan drives is to achieve the Kaiser's Berlin - Bagdad dream. With the Mosul oilfields as one of the spoils. Iraq is the nerve-centre of the whole Middle East, this writer says.
The Berlin radio says Iraq troops occupied a British fort between Basra and Bagdad, and are now in control of the area.
