The Daily Chronicle says that as a result of the treaty Britain will be able lo evacuate Irak well within four years after the ratification of peace with Turkey in August, 1921. Under Hie new treaty, says, the paper, the British Government has retrieved Ihe blunder of commitment to a further indeterminate occupation. Mr M. 11. Donohoc, the Paris correspondent of the Chronicle, expresses the opinion I hat industrial and mineral development in Irak will receive a stimulus now that the ever-present spectre of war has been laid. He questions whether an oil-pipe running through Mosul across the Syrian desert to a Palestine port can profitably be laid in view of the possibility of a Turkish petroleum company striking oil in the Mosul area.
