press which accused him of having come to sell and
not to buy. Moved by this agitation, the Commercial
Representative called at the Bagdad Chamber of Commerce
on Friday last and discussed the object of his mission,
explaining that he was studying the prices of Iraqi products
capable of being exported to Russia such as wool, lambskins and
dates, that he was collecting and sending to Russia samples
of these products, and that if he received instructions to
effect purchases he would not hesitate to act upon them.
4* So far as is known, M. Staupak has not entered
into any negotiations with tbe Iraq Government for a
commercial agreement despite the Press suggestion that
he was to come here with that object in view. If the
very nebulous proposals for the export of Iraqi produce
to Russia as an offset to her imports into Iraq do
eventually materialize, resulting in a more or less
balanced trade between the two countries, M* Staupak ? s
mission may prove beneficial to Iraq; but at the present
juncture it-is permissible to express extreme scepticism
on this point.
5* I am sending a copy of this despatch to the
Gommercial Secretary at Tehran and the Acting Consul, Basra.
I have the honour to be with the highest respect.
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant,
(signed) A.W. Davis.
