also able to supply other equip

Professor Corrington intends
reaching directly as many parts of
the state as possible in series of
talks on birds. Schools interested
in securing such a lecture, design
ed primarily for graded school

This would m,.an that the allies

BY insisting that alesul lies
within Irak. which is part of Mes

is further reported that Great
Britain and France have reached
an agreement over the Mosul oil
question. prominent official
from Irak arrived in-Lausanne a
few days ago and announced his
country would insist on sovereignty

According to another version of
