Secretary L. o. NJ. S. Amery, in an
exclusxe interview with the United
Press todI. H ewas discussing tho
delicate situation surrounding the

"The British government, he

Make Final Effort
The league council late last night
suspended temporarily all sessions
to permit of final effort to reach
q mutually acceptable solution Of
the Mosul dispute.
Today the council decided to mod
ifv this decision and to resume sit
tings this afternoon on minor ques
tions, referring further discussion
of Mosul as long as there was pos
Sbilitv of reaching tArcct amfcable
sentiment. Members continued to
study possible courses to be taken If
the Turks should attack Mosul. The
hautcur which had marked the
Turks position on Thursday, when
Tewfik Rouschi Bev foreign minis
fer delegate, planned to return to
Turkey. had weakened with the
opening of the Laidoner report on
alleged Turkish importation and
abuse of Christians driven ont of
the ~Mosul area,
= England Would Fight
Y Amerv himself was doubtful that
council decision in favor of Brit
ain would be followed by Turk
war. Nevertheless. he indicated
clearly that England would amply
meet such Il threat.
"Under the Scvres treaty, which
the Turks acccpted,' he observed,
"Mosul was included integrallv in
the Kingdom of Iraq. When the
Turkish government was over
thrown, the new Turkish govern
mcnt began to claim Mosul, which
constitutes one fourth of the area
of Irad and the richest part.
"CesSion of Mosul to Turkey
would mean economic ruin. And
the question of the district s popu
I3tion would be very grave. Twen-
tv thousand Christians have fled
from the portion of the district still
under Turkish jurisdiction and If
MoSul were coded to Turkey, 10000
Christians would be obliged to flee
from dcportations and atrocities.
ENGLAND (under her mandate)
established in Iraq Democratic
government which is a novelty in
the near east and this has been pro
crossing steadily. To abandon il
now would be fatal.

it into light, and now the darkness
seemed closing about her again. And
she could only hope and wait through
endless hours.

it was only an ordinary summons. On
the face of it, the call was natural /;
