NEW BRITISH DEFENCE PACT TO BOLSTER MIDDLE EAST Treaty With Iraq First Of Series Regional System Of Defence

די

London, Jan. 15.

A regional defence system in the Middle East within the framework of the United Nations was foreshadowed by diplomatic observers in London tonight when the text of a new 20- year Anglo-Iraqi Treaty, signed earlier in the day, was issued.

The new treaty, which replaces that of 1930, may form the pattern for similar alliances through- out the Middle East, Reuters diplomatic cor- respondent writes.

Britain hopes that such a de fence system may be worked ou shortly by bringing the 1036 Ireoty with Egypt up to date and negotiating suitable treaties with

her Arab States.

Though the features of Indivi dun treaties would differ they would be approached along the

nes of today's treaty.

The most striking point of this are the replacement of the former

Like the old treaty, the new one with Iraq has the normal provi- sions of a thorough-going defen sive alliance, now integrated with the United Nations instead of with the League of Natione,

An exchange of letters between Mr. Erner Bevin, the Foreign Secretary, and the Iraqi Premier, points out that Iraq's obligations under the new treaty are without prejudice to those already incur- red under the terms of the | Surdad Pact of 1937 between Per- Nia, Iraq, Turkey and Afghanis lan, and under the Covenant of The Arab Lengte Pact of March, 1045.

The treaty starts by reaffirming the alliance. A vital article is Article Three, which provides for mutual aid in time of war.
