Ruhgy. Sept. II
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 laic King’s brother Ali, and two Cabinet Ministers, Nurc Pasha and Rustam Haidar.
At Bagdad and throughout Iraq sorrow at King Fcisal’s death is shown by all classes of the community.
The new King, formerly Prince Ghazi. has already shouldered his fresh responsibilities. He has re-appointed all the Cabinet Ministers to the posts held by them under his father.
In expressing thanks to King Ghazi for his trust in the Cabinet, the Premier, Rashid Ali, said he was confident that Iraq would continue to follow a sane policy as in the past, consideration for which was maintenance of the bonds of friendship and alliance with Great Britain.
With full military honours the body of King Feisal was embarked on the Despatch at Brindisi this afternoon for transport to Haifa. It will be conveyed from Haifa to Bagdad in a Royal Air Force aeroplane.
