No announcement of any such intention has been made in London. 'No information is obtainable at tho .Colonial Office. General Jafar Pasha, Iraq Minister in Loudon, in the course oi a statement, says the significance of the new coalition Cabinet lies in the fact that its policy in respect to British relation's is unchanged.
