 (At London, Sir Basil. Brooke, the Ulster minister of commerce, post poned until tomorrow liis plans to leave for home and 1t was believed he would discuss the De Valera statement with members of the Brit isl, cabinet. Other members of the Ulster delegation which conferred Tn London on the conscriptio1l proposal left Sunday for home)
 Among those who heard De Va lera speak was Sir John Maffey, the United Kingdom representative ln Fire.
 "There could be no more grievous attack on any fundamental human right than to force an individual to fight in the forces of another cour- try to which he objects to belong ing" DeVaiera said
 Against It In 1918
 Tt was that feeling that united the whole Irish people in their re- sistance to conscription in 1918.
 "It was the realization of that fact ard, because of other Issues ln- volyed, which caused the British government to exclude the six coun- ties of northern Ireland from the conscription act passed prior to the war"
 The premier said that the Six counties of Ulster were part Of 1re- land and always had been part Of Ireland. <.
 "Their inhabitants are rrishmcn," !" he declared. No act of parliament can alter this fact. In the six 1orth- ern counties there are more than 0 third of the population who have protested against being cut off from the main body of the nation and who were so cut off against their own will and agianst the will of @ majority of the whole Irish people.
 Tt would be a,n outrage to com. pei them to fight in the forces of another country because 1t has done them and continues to do them this grievous wrong"

 Rashid's followers in Baghdad were reported to be in panic as British forces approached from the F'alluja area to the West.
 Nazl Promises Failed
 British troop and airplane action 1n Iraq itself, the failure of Ger many to make good reported prom ! 4ses of big scale aid to Rashid All, Britain's firm attitude toward Sy- rian aid to the Nazis, the defection of Col. Philibert Collet, ace French Colonial leader, and some of his forces, and the arrival on Traq soil of Prince Abdul Illah, former regent of Iraq, to form a constitutional government in opposition to Rashid All were factors which seemed te have precipitated the sudden and definite collapse of the government which, on an anti-British program had seized power.
 Ankara reported that the Ger i mans had instructed the Iraqi lead- CTS to organize Q new capital at Mosul, in the oil fields, but that it was believed unlikely that any 7 Rashid All leaders would remain in that area long before they went or to Turkey, even If they obeyed the Germans at all.
 ' The Iraql legation at Cairo con- firmed to the United Press that a revolt had broken out Saturday among the tribesmen who had been { in Rashid AIS territory but who had decided to support Abdul H. lah.
 Abdul, reported to have left Bas- ra for Baghdad, was quoted in a Cairo dispatch as saying that Ras- hid Ais troops had started to de- eert.
 IT intend to issue a proclamation as soon as I enter Baghdad at the head of my Iraqi troops, announce ing my return and the formation of lawful government" he was quot- ed.

 Tt should be possible for us tc hold Crete" Maj. Gen. T. c. Hey wood, chief of the British military mission to Greece, said after his ar- rival at Cairo from Crete. More Landed Saturday A communicate of middle east general headquarters at Cairo re- ported that the Germans had suc- ceeded in landing more air borne troops in Crete Saturday but on a substantially reduced scale as com- pared with the previous two days.
 Weil-informed sources at Cairo told the United Press that no sea landings had been effected in Crete and It remained questionable in the minds of military experts whether the Germans could take the island without such landings.
 The News Chronicle reported that c third great German convoy had been disposed of. It was knowr that one had been wiped out and another dispersed. The News Chron. icle reported that third had sue. ceeded in reaching the shores oi Suda bay, the primary German ob. jective, but had been driven of be. fore 1t could land either men oi supplies, z
