As regards the Mosul question itself, there is not much
fresh news to record. The Angora Government-is quietly thinking things over, and is reported to have decided against a warlike policy. This quiescence and a belated recollection of the fact that Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's Government committed itself to the principle of a new Treaty between Great Britain and Iraq if Iraq did not join the League of Nations before the present Treaty , expired .in 1928 have taken all the life out of the agitation against Mr. Baldwin's policy. There is still plenty of - room, however, for friendly negotiations with Turkey in order that we maybe able to live as peacefnl neighbours. We sincerely hope that there will be a careful joining up of the flats ; the exciting incidents at Geneva necessarily left much work of that kind to be done.
