THE DEAD KING
BODY TAKEN TO HAIFA FULL MILITARY HONOURS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 11. The body of King Feisal, which is being conveyed to Haifa from Brindisi by the British cruiser Despatch, is being accompanied by, among others, the late King’s brother (Ali) and two Cabinet Ministers (Nure Pasha and Rustam Haidar). At Bagdad and throughout Iraq sorrow at King Feisal’s death is shown by all classes in the community. The new King (formerly Prince Ghazi) has already shouldered his fresh responsibilities. He has reappointed all the Cabinet Ministers to the posts held under his father. In expressing thanks to King Ghazi for his trust in the Cabinet, the Prime Minister (Rashid Ali) said he was confident that Iraq would continue to follow a sane policy as in the past, a principle in which was the maintenance of the bonds of friendship and alliance with Great Britain. With full military honours the body of King Feisal was embarked on the British cruiser Despatch at Brindisi this afternoon for transport to Haifa. It will be conveyed from Haifa to Bagdad in a Royal Air Force aeroplane.
