Iraq Regret Expressed
Murder Of British Consul At Mosul
LONDON, Apr. 8....' THE GOVERNMENT'S pro- found regret at the tragic death of Mr. Monckmason, the British Consul at Mosul, who was stoned to death by an Iraqi crowd of mourners following the an- nouncement of the death of King Ghazi, was expressed by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons to-day, ̧‚
Mr. Neville Chamberlain also ex pressed the House's deep sympath over the depth of King Ghazi (ir! connection with which flags wer flown at half-mast on all publi buildings in London to-day),
Mr. Chamberlain, said there we not the slightest foundation for th allegations of, agitators that the British Government was in some way responsible for King Ghazi's death.
The Iraq Prime Minister had in- formed the British Charge d'Affaires that a public expression of
regret would be passed by the Iraq Parlia
that Mr. Monckmason would ment; be necorded a public funeral with full honours, and that a suitable grant would be made to Mr. Monckmason'a depentients, and
for reparation damage caused to the British Govern- ment's properly.--Reuter,
