Some persons there are who say
that Germany should be permitted to
fulfill her ambitions in this region.
Everybody knows that primary con-
sideration in the building of the Bag
dad railway is to give Germany ac-
cess to the wheat and cotton fields OF
Mesopotamia. Here lies the potential
granary which Germany so much
needs. Here, too, mey be grown the
cotton for which her spindles are
hungry. In all her projects looking
toward the Persian gulf she has been
hindered by Great Britain and Russia.
Now a school of British statesmen,
among whom Sir William Willcocks
may be counted, have arisen to ask
for Germany the outlet that she so
sorely needs. At present she is bot
tied up. It is this very repression.
argue the men of this new school,
which makes Germany menace to
the peace of Europe and the world.
Give her legitimate outlet for her
energies. and she will cease to keep
the statesmen of other nations awake
at night. Let her take on Mesopo-
tamia, or a large part of it, and she
will have troubles enough right at
hand, as well as a field for the Ia
sbors Of her surplus population. It
would be inconsonance with the ideals
of the twentieth century, and in par
'ticular with those OF. Sir William Will

half, three million acres Of land that
Is at present arid, will be available for
cultivation. The only real obstacle
feared by those engaged in the work
is the lack of stablemind edness of the
Turkish government, and its depleted
treasury This latter point 10 covered.
it is understood in these parts, by the
terms Of the contract with Sir John
jackson, who practically finances the
undertaking, recouping himself from
the income OF the new lands, receiv-
ing what is equivalent to seven per
cent. on the investment.
At present the area affected by the
irrigation project contains about a
million I'd half Of population. These
are mostly poor Arabs, who subsist
on a pittance, so that thousands OF

are learning. to degree. the habits OF
steady industry which will stand them
in stead when they come to take up
the land that is being redeemed yby
their present labors. Sir William Will
cocks is authority for the statement
that there should be a livelihood for
twelve million people in the reclaimed
area. s3s
Where these extra ten and a half
millions Of population are to come
from gives concern to some students
OF the scheme, inasmuch as the Young
Turks refuse to admit any settlers
who will not become Turkish subjects.
Otherwise the surplus peoples of In
dia and Egypt, already trained to work
on irrigated land, would quickly find
their way here. 1t is not at all I'M
likely that within the next three years
the chauvinistic Young Turks will
have had a Christening that will re-
move this difficulty In any case there
are the industrious Kurds of the
mountains who would flock down In
numbers, while the Moslem Persians
have no scruples against exchanging
their present sovereign for the caliph
of all the faithful. Then there is the
not unreasonable prospect that the
rowing Bedouin Will settle down to ag-
riculture, when conditions become
more stable in the land.
Is This Germany's Chance?
At present the delta is land of
Iswlessness. Some of the tribes along
the lower reaches Of the two rivers
are little better than sheer savages.
Everybody carries gun or a stout

of the old irrigation works. The new

J now in course of actual realization.
During the time of my sojourn in

nificent conception of Sir William
