on September 10th that Rashid Ali had pressed him to aSee to
his going to Berlin* Rashid Ali^s brother (late MinilC here)
was present at lo^g conversation in Istanbul (Constantinople)•
had strongly opposed the suggestion pointing
out^Rashid All wpuld thus stamp himself as traitor in Iraq g
■besides having his property confiscated* Brother agreed and
