Since the subject of countering the Iranian scholars present in

The Honorable Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Baghdad (3 copies)
On the occasion of the current international situation and in view of the firm policy followed
by the current Ministry regarding the deportation of the Iranian dregs from Iraq, whose
number almost reached two thousand people; a policy that Iraqi history records with
pride and admiration, I would like to note the following:
May God grant Iraq success in one of the eras to eliminate the root of the Assyrian movement
and eradicate it, which was undoubtedly a source of pride. However, two problems remain: first -
what is known today as the Fifth Column, and second - (the Jules Ferry policy). As for the first -
newspapers and periodicals have studied and investigated it thoroughly, and in truth, neighbor Iran
found a fertile field in Iraq for this column, which was enabled to stand on its feet by
the disintegration of the classes, the large size of the Iranian community, and Iranian propaganda methods that derive strength
from the funds allocated to them, headed by the Iranian religious scholars who are the most dangerous
supporters in Iraq.
As for the (Jules Ferry) policy, we summarize it as follows: He was one of the greats of France
who fought clericalism most fiercely. He enacted laws that limited the field of action
for clergymen and sought throughout his life to deprive them of many rights; yet, he did not hesitate
to help them in the work they carried out outside France, to the point that he occasionally did not hesitate
to assist the work of missionary missions by diplomatic means or military force.
Some deputies objected to this contradictory policy, so (Jules Ferry) stood firm at the podium
and said his famous words: "The enmity of clericalism is not among the goods that may be exported."
It was ⟦his opinion⟧
in that with the delegates in Baghdad. For information.
Does not harm the interest of ⟦...⟧ the country

to the outside) and he wanted to say by that that our enmity to the priesthood must remain among the characteristics
of our internal policy alone and this circumspection must not prevent us from benefiting from men of
religion in our foreign policy in the matter of expanding our influence outside France.
We think you agree with us that the Iranian government has applied this policy in the fields of ⟦...⟧
Iraq in the best application and that despite its intense hatred for the Iranian scholars inside
Iran and its persecution of them, it itself helps them in Iraq to strengthen and expand its influence
and it did not hesitate to provide them with money and to help them even by diplomatic means.
It is no secret that the Iraqi government had followed the lead of this last element with a policy
that keeps pace with the requirements of the time; but now the time has come and Iran has become a restless state that has
not known firmness and sound opinion after all that has befallen it from the greedy Russians
and Germans, just as it has begun to comply with all countries for fear of creating problems it does not desire.
The evidence of this weakness is many, we will not give into elaborating on them; we see that the esteemed
Iraqi government should take (after consulting the opinion of our legation in Tehran) the necessary measures to remove
all Iranian religious scholars from Iraq in one stroke on the grounds that they are undesirable people
in such critical circumstances, and that is of course after taking the necessary administrative
measures to silence the voices of their tails and their followers who are mercenaries of Iranian propaganda
funds, and seizing this opportunity to rescue Iraq from this lethal factor.

The General Residence Directorate has returned to considering matters
of this kind in a spirit of ⟦...⟧ leniency. In this case, it is necessary to
verify whether the person wishing to return to Iran stayed there,
or if his children had departed with him. Therefore, I suggest inquiring
about that, while noting that Baghdad is not of concern to him, rather it
does not harm the safety of the country's affairs. For presentation.

Subject Summary: Transit Visa
Ministry of Interior
In response to your letter No. 2435 dated 6 / 6 / 1940
Upon auditing the text of paragraph (b) of Article Three of the Residency Law
No. 64 of / 1938, which includes the definition of a transit visa, it was found that
it authorized the grantee the right to enter Iraq once within a year from the date
of its issuance and to reside therein for a period of fifteen days. Likewise, paragraph (a) of the
said article, concerning the ordinary visa, contained the same text in terms of
entering Iraq and residing therein, but it increased the period to three months,
while the non-stop transit visa mentioned in paragraph (c) of the said article
authorized the grantee the right to pass through Iraq and not reside in it. Therefore, we see that
it is possible for the person granted a transit visa to enter Iraq and reside in it for the permitted
period and then return to the place from which he came, and there is nothing requiring him to travel
to a third kingdom. Accordingly, we support what you proposed in your letter above.
