Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

A highly detailed description of early Mandate Iraq and its challenges by its first High Commissioner. Self-wraps 16x25cm. Printed by Harrison & Sons, London, for HMSO, (1), v, 126pp, dated 8/23 to the printer's code, with an apparent print run of 625 copies. Disbound from a larger volume with extraction residue to spine. Good with reference number and small ink stamp inside front wrap, and corner creasing to several leaves. The author, identified by his position to the main report and as P.Z. Cox in the appendices, was Percy Zachariah Cox, who served as High Commissioner from October 1920, also as Commander-in-Chief from 1922, until his retirement in 1923. His wide ranging report opens with a survey of political developments, followed by sections on administration, finance, the Iraq Army, Iraq Levies, justice, education, health service, communications and works, Iraq Railways, administration of Auqaf, Christian (Assyrian and Armenian) refugees, and foreign relations. The survey deals with political landscape including pacification of the country region by region, HMG's policy, and Shia leadership; Provisional Government (formation of Cabinet, work done so far, the Cairo Conference, Saiyid Talib, Kurdish districts); and Amir Faisal's arrival, election and accession. Cox's review of internal administration addresses how the new system is running, difficulties and tribal issues in various divisions, and French authority beyond the frontier; elective bodies; police (regular, CID, Railway police, Camel Corps ("so conspicuous a success led by Capt Williams at Nasiriyah", etc); prisons; agriculture; arms traffic from Syria, Central Arabia, Persia and in the Persian Gulf ("a lucrative business"). On the Syrian traffic, the report describes how the British sought to engage with the French and the kinds of response received, revealing that caravans were taking arms to Najd which Ibn Saud corroborated, with concerns expressed about this passing through Iraq. Central Arabian traffic is difficult to monitor as arms are carried by caravan in small quantities, though the Shaikh of Kuwait is making attempts to control it. Steps are also being taken to limit traffic into Iraq via the Gulf to Hail, Kuwait and Shatt al-Arab. The section on finance addresses the impact of the 1920 disturbances, decisions reached at the Cairo Conference, with details on wider receipts and expenditures, institutional arrangements etc. The section on Auqaf (Waqf, or charitable giving) notes the Ottomans "left a legacy of ruined or dilapidated religious establishments", describing what is being done with respect to rebuilding, staffing, schools, Ramadan bonus, etc. Discussion of foreign relations covers Turkey (rumours of Kamalist attack, the Kurds, frontiers); Najd with much on the activities of Ibn Saud, his relations with Kuwait, Ikhwan propaganda, the provisional frontier, etc; Persia; and Pusht-i-Kuh. Appendices include key Proclamations and Communications. Rare.…
