CONFLICTING CONTROL.
LONDON, May 20. The Daily Express states that cross purposes have been caused by a. conflict, due to obsolete traditons, between the Indian, foreign, War, and Colonial Offices and the Admiralty over the newiyacquired influence in Palestine, Syria. Turkey, Mesopotamia, and elsewhere. As an example, the Foreign Office supports the King of..- the. Hedjaz.- the Indian Office backs Emir Saoucl, while Aden is torn between political and military controls. Similarly, War Office messages must be supervised by the Foreign Office before _ they are sent to the High Commissioner at Constantinople, who is an admiral, and w’ho must refer his replies to the Admiralty. The result is a muddled East, worthy of Wonderland.
