The Shape of Things
May 10, 1941 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information that the Iraq situation is becoming increasingly serious. The Iraqi government which achieved power in a coup d'etat a month ago, appears to control most of the country except the region around Bastra, Iraq's only seaport. The British government insists it is within its treaty rights in sending troops to the country to protect its communications and it will no doubt attempt to reestablish its grip on Baghdad and place in power a more amenable government. However the clash comes at time when it can ill afford to spare troops and equipment for the fairly, extensive operations which may prove necessary to accomplish this end.
