The ideal
Joint Planning Sub-Committee snould be asmed.
solution for the Admiralty would be lor all Mosul Oil Fields
Ltd. oil to be brought to Haifa independently ol the I.r.C.
If this were impossible there might be certain advantages in an
independent line ending at Alexandretta, which might be
preferable to Tripoli.
aIH COMMODORE PIERSS pointed out that the present pipe
line bifurcated at naaitha to Tripoli and Haifa respectively.
If mosul Oil Helds Ltd. snould arrange to utilise the I.P.C.
pipeline system, they might eitner join the I.P.C. line east
or west of Haditha. This was an important point because if

oil to Haifa and in peace, if oil were developed in large
quantities, there would still be the possibirity ol inducing
the company to mahe use ol tne Haiia line. On the o + her hand,
id tne junctioxi were made west of Haditna, there would be no
possibility at all of any B.O.D. oil following any but the
Tripoli route. It was important, therefore, to secure that

east of Haditha.

the possibility ox an independent pipeline to Haiia seemed
excluded, tne oest practicable solution would be an agreement
between Mosul Oil Fields Ltd. and the I.P.C. lor the use of
tne latter’s pipeline, under which the bulx of the oil
should be brought to Haifa. The Sub-Committee were hot
however, as to the relative advantages of
the various alternatives other than Haifa. Captain Moore
