Following these developments, the Government of Iraq requested revision of a 1930 treaty, which granted the British Government the right to maintain two air bases and some troops in that neighborhood. Iraq includes most of Arabia and is a nation of about five million Arabs, scattered over desert tracts or into teeming cities along the fertile river valleys. The Iraq leaders are proceeding, it seems, upon a proper basis, suggesting that the “treaty, which 18 supposed to run until 1955, be amended. It should also be noted that British ground troops were with- drawn from Iraq in 1947 and that there are now in the country only Royal Air Force detachments.

JET PLANE ORTAGE Crippling strikes have put jet- plane manufacturers so far be- hind schedule that more than a million pounds of aluminum sheets have piled up in aircraft factories waiting to be used. As a result, friends of the industry inside the National Production Authority are now maneuvering to divert this backlog of precious aluminum into civilian goods. Meanwhile, sabre-jet pilots are fighting against five-to-one odds in Korea, because of the shortage of jet planes THE DIPLOMATIC POUCH U. S.

All this is because back in 1905 a report on the estimated cotton crop leaked prematurely and specu- lators made a big killing. Since then the department has devised an ironclad “security ‘system” to make sure it doesn't happen again. The night before general crop estimates (on wheat, corn, cotton, etc.) are to be released, field re- ports from farm states are secreted in a box, reinforced with two locks, in the main agriculture building. At 5 am. the next day, the box is removed, under an armed guard, to a corridor on the second floor of the adjacent south building. Here the whole corridor is lock- ed off, with armed guards at each end. Nobody can get in without a special pass and, once in, there’s no line for releasing the crop report. To make sure there is no com- munication with the outside world | in this agricultural “Shangri La,” | all telephones are disconnected. Guards even lower and latch the venetian blinds in the large room | where the crop estimates are pre- | pared, so there will be no signaling from windows.
