-( 2 )-
grateful for the sincere support and extreme courtesy
which was extended to me at all times, and who never failed
me in giving all assistance within their power. During this
period I renewed many previous acquaintences and also got to
know many important personalities (a list of names enclosed).
I also had the opportunity of making some exceedingly useful
contacts in the country, specially at Najaf-i-Ashraf,
Karabala-i-Kaulvi and Kazmain. I have in my possession
"Fatwa" by (1) Kaulvi Mohammad Hussain Kashif-ul-Chataya
and a written request for financial help from (2) His Holiness
Hujjat-ul-Islam Ab<|ul Hassan Fusawi Asfhani.
Vdioever I met, one and all were very considerate and
many very helpful. I had occasions of having very many free
and frank talks on questions relating to:-
(a) The unhappy events during and after the Rashid
Ali el Grillani’s Premiership.
(b) The feelings of the Iraqi people towards Great
Britain.
(c) Association of Iraq with His Majesty's Government.
(d) The friendly aid offered by His Majesty's Govern
ment to Iraq and its people.
(e) General Islamic feeling towards the Axis.
(f) The steps taken by us in Iran.
(g) Our support to and co-operation with the U.S.S.R.

more cultured and understanding gentry were calm and unperti
ed, and in many respects helpful, the middle and lo^er clasi
were in the majority undoubtedly rather hostile and unreliable
but in a very guarded and secretive manner. I could not help
but notice that a large number of the people I met appeared
to show a certain amount of anxiety, restlessness and
suspicion, this I think is due to the affairs in Iraq being
so unstable and unreliable, also to some extent anxiety is
