Al-Zaman in its New Year
The newspaper [Al-Zaman] bids farewell to its sixteenth year and welcomes its seventeenth year in a position where it looks at the past and looks forward to the future.
As for the past: it appears . . full of obstacles and lessons. As for the future, it inspires optimism and revives hope for a bright and prosperous era . . .
Has [Al-Zaman] performed its service in these years of its life? And has it fulfilled the duties required of it in the most perfect manner? And was it within its power to work in the field of public service better than it did?
These are questions that come to mind. The answer to them is left to the honorable readers. And to the people who lived with [Al-Zaman] throughout these years. And monitored the events of its life and its path and saw the works and trends in it.
Al-Zaman has a drawn plan, and this plan is summarized in serving God, the Homeland, and the King. The good journalist must serve God in serving God as a peer in his conscience, his morals, and his support for virtue and aspects of goodness and righteousness in life. Serving the homeland appears in sincerity to the public interest and preferring it over any personal interest, and loving the citizens and guiding them to good work, and calling them to what is in their progress and success. The King is the symbol of the nation and the title of its pride. He is the center of hope and the focus of expectation and its pride. Sincerity to the King is sincerity to the nation and its sanctities, and serving the King is serving what lives and rises in the life of the nation.
So has - Al-Zaman - performed these services?
We cannot elaborate on the answer to this question, but we can say: that what we have received of encouragement from the honorable citizens and their sympathy for - Al-Zaman - and their support for it and their demand for it, makes us feel relieved that we have performed what we were able to of duty, and we have performed what we could of service. We believe that it is difficult for a good journalist, or impossible for him, to perform his duty in the best form and most perfect way while facing conditions and circumstances that are not in his power nor within his ability to overcome in terms of shocks and making sacrifices, especially since this world is still storming with severe, crushing crises that confuse freedoms, stifle ideas, and restrict journalistic work, the least of which is what this journalistic work is thrown into of troubles and pains in the atmosphere that surrounds it while it gives its thought and pen to serve its nation in a field of honorable, exhausting work whose trials and hardships are known only to those who practiced it and tasted a large part of their lives in it . . .
Whatever the case, - Al-Zaman - is proud of the service it has performed for the dear homeland throughout a not short period and is delighted with the support of the honorable citizens, and extends its hand that we are by hand or this demand is the best reward and most beautiful consolation, and it is on its covenant to be faithful in its mission, steadfast on its plan based on goodness, virtue, and righteousness, supporting it wherever it is found, and wherever it appears. And God Almighty is behind the intent.

British Memorandum to Jordan and Israel
London - Reuters - Britain sent a memorandum to Jordan and Israel advising them to discuss all means leading to preventing the recurrence of border incidents in a conference in which the high authorities of both sides participate. The British Minister Plenipotentiary in Amman presented this memorandum to the Jordanian government. It stated that the state of tension between the two sides cannot be eased except in the case of full cooperation between the security forces of both parties. Britain has not yet received news about the impact the memorandum had in Jordanian political circles.
Commonwealth Countries Conference
London - Reuters - It was officially announced that the Prime Ministers of the Commonwealth countries will meet recently in London after the coronation ceremonies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. The work of this conference is scheduled to take about a week. Reuters says that the issue of the possibility of holding political talks between the leaders of the Eastern and Western blocs to address global problems will be at the forefront of the issues that the conference will discuss when it meets. This conference is the first meeting of the Commonwealth countries since the peaceful signs that appeared in Russia's foreign policy.
Last Hour
Where the President of the Republic was told . . and said that he apologized for forming the ministry.
The Syrian radio correspondent in Beirut says that Mr. Saeb Salam, who was entrusted with forming the new Lebanese ministry, felt at the last moment the strength of the opposition that rallied against him, which forced him to apologize for forming the ministry.
Regarding the fighting over the Suez fighting ⟦illegible⟧ Paris News Agency says that Churchill emphasized in his statement before the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons throughout yesterday the issue of Egypt, and said that it is not Britain's intention to rush events in the Middle East. Britain insists on establishing Middle East defense measures before it relinquishes the Suez fighting to Egypt. Churchill said he feels that Britain enjoys strong support from America.
Cambodia threatens the French with revolution ⟦illegible⟧ United Press correspondent says that the government of Cambodia, one of the three states of Vietnam, has asked the French to recognize its full independence and warned them that if they delay in doing so, the people of Cambodia will declare revolution against them and expel the mandate to the lights of Vietnam who are now only 10 miles away from the capital of Laos.
Britain and the offer of international command in Korea ⟦illegible⟧ Sir Churchill was asked in the House of Commons whether the international command in Korea consulted the British government about its offer to release any communist pilot who surrenders a communist MiG aircraft. Sir Churchill said that there was no need for these consultations. The Sir said that this change in policy at a time when the world expects the conclusion of a truce in Korea did not agree with Britain's point of view. He said he did not want to create a subject from a political point of view because this truce follows whether this offer was timely or untimely.

Foreign Policy
Soviet desire for Western nations to turn away
from the North Atlantic Treaty and the European Army
and their readiness to negotiate on the points raised by Eisenhower
Will Britain take the initiative in opening the door for international negotiation??
Among the foremost topics commented on by Turkish newspapers yesterday was the article in the Soviet newspaper Pravda in response to President Eisenhower's speech. Among what the Turkish newspapers mentioned was that despite the sweetness of tongue in the Pravda article, the article shows that there is no change or alteration in the principles of Soviet policy. Turkish commentators said that the publication of this article does not, in any case, cast any proven result for establishing security and peace.
The newspaper Yeni Sabah wrote that commentators have agreed on the opinion that the Pravda article, which came as a response to President Eisenhower's speech, contains nothing that inspires safety or encouragement, even if it contains sweetness of tongue that confuses the heads of these commentators. It is understood from it that the Soviets do not want to concede the views they have defended.
The Soviet claims of establishing today as it was yesterday remain the center of gravity regarding the invalid Yalta and Potsdam agreements and the unification of Germany, which is divided into two parts: the Soviets continue to repeat the discussion of the treaties that were signed secretly during the era of President Roosevelt. This means that they are briefly burdened by the conditions in which any kind of peace can be achieved or peace can be realized.
In short, the Soviets intend for the Yalta and Potsdam treaties to remain in effect so that an understanding can be reached with them. Or that the Soviets want the West to turn away from the Atlantic Alliance treaty and from the establishment of the European Army, the annexation of Germany to Russia, and giving the Soviets some rights in the Straits.
The newspaper concluded its article by saying that Soviet policy does not differ from the policy of war, and for that reason, the Pravda article is considered a warning that came at the right time for the free world to take heed regarding the issue of armament.
British newspapers commented on the same subject; the "Manchester Guardian"
Liberal newspaper said that the Soviet answer published by Pravda is considered sound and that the task of ensuring the easing of international tension is still somewhat difficult and far from realization, but Pravda was right on only one point, which is that we need less talk and more action. What is required is conducting negotiations. This issue does not need much talk. What the Western countries need to do is sincere work without propaganda.
The Conservative "Daily Telegraph" said that no one expected an answer from the Soviet Union to President Eisenhower's proposals, but the Soviets have shown their readiness to enter into negotiations on all the issues raised by President Eisenhower. This matter must pass through a long and difficult period. In the meantime, the North Atlantic Treaty countries continue their financial progress forward with their joint defense programs.
The "Daily Herald," the organ of the
British Labour Party, said that Britain must take the initiative in proposing the opening of the door for negotiations.
The "News Chronicle," the organ of the British Liberal Party, said that both sides have now spoken, and therefore the time has come to enter into bargaining and conduct negotiations.
The American "New York Times" commented on the same subject, saying that the Soviet answer was disappointing because it did not provide significant evidence of Soviet peaceful intentions since Stalin's death. President Eisenhower's proposals regarding the declaration of war against poverty and disarmament were excluded from the Pravda article.
The American "Washington Post" said that the defense preparations undertaken by America and the Western European countries were a major factor in prompting the Soviet Union to call for peace and intensify its peace campaign.
America studies the issue of diverting materials
and air equipment from Europe to Indochina
Paris [SHA] - The French government decided to send the Chief of Staff of the French Air Force to Indochina to study the situation there in view of the increasing importance of the air force in the current campaign against the Viet Minh rebels.
Monsieur Letourneau, the French Minister for the States of Indochina, stated that it was agreed during Mr. Dulles's visit to Paris to consult other Western countries before taking any decision regarding directing an appeal to the United Nations about the invasion of the state of Laos. He said that France hopes that America will send more aid regarding Indochina.
Mr. [Name] stated in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the American government is now studying the issue of diverting war materials and equipment from Europe to Indochina. Senator Wiley, the chairman of the committee, revealed this after a secret meeting held by the committee. He described the extension of fighting in Indochina as a serious and dangerous problem, and Mr. Dulles also said that Indochina is, for the free world, a front line that cannot be lost.
Meanwhile, in Luang Prabang, the capital of Laos, preparations are in full swing to strengthen its defenses; military reinforcements are arriving continuously, and the civilian population is helping the soldiers in digging trenches and setting up fortifications.
Marshal Voroshilov confirms
the Soviet Union's desire for peace
Moscow [United Press] - Marshal Voroshilov, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, delivered a speech yesterday in Moscow on the occasion of presenting medals to some men of the Soviet Army, and confirmed the Soviet Union's desire to maintain peace, saying that the Soviet armed forces do not threaten anyone and have no intention of aggression against any foreign country.
Increase in trade exchange
between France and the Soviet Union
Paris (United Press) - A spokesman for the French Ministry of Economy stated that trade exchange between France and the Soviet Union is expected to increase significantly as a result of the recent talks held at the Geneva Trade Conference under the supervision of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. The French and Soviet delegations at the conference reached an agreement between the two countries and exchanged lists under which transactions will be conducted.
The ministerial crisis in Lebanon
Beirut (SHA) - The formation of the new Lebanese cabinet was not announced until a late hour last night. Mr. Saeb Salam began his consultations yesterday evening to form the cabinet from the parliamentary blocs. After the President of the Republic entrusted him with the task of forming the cabinet, it appeared from His Excellency's contacts with the deputies that Mr. Saeb Salam leads Mr. Abdullah al-Yafi Bey by seven votes, and Mr. Abdullah al-Yafi has become the second candidate likely to be entrusted with forming the cabinet if Mr. Saeb Salam, who is an independent, fails. If he forms the cabinet, it will be a coalition including the political blocs in Parliament.

Then they took him in a car to the suburb of "Dezashub" in northern Tehran, one of the suburbs of Tehran, to the house of one of the officers, and from there to outside the village of "Telo" near the hills of Lashkarak, which is 40 miles from Tehran, where he was entrusted for a period of 48 hours in the cave by stabbing with knives, as pains appeared on his chest and the extremities of his body.
And their purpose was to reach a goal through him or information he would provide to them or his obtaining a committee ruling from which they would benefit as a leader or the like, and Afshar's voluntary refusal out of "his fear of the government discovering their shelter due to the many intense investigations, and for fear that he would execute or utter what they knew to control his desire with his belt, and they inserted a silk handkerchief into his mouth until he suffocated, and his hands were tied behind his back and bound with ropes to his legs. It appeared from the examination that after his suffocation he remained alive for more than 48 hours suffering the cycle of torture and mutilation, then they put his body in a bag and buried it under a running stream there near Lashkarak so that its features would not appear.
Some say that the terrorists have positions like this in the future with other prominent figures as indicated by the general conditions in the country.
It appears that the driver of General Mazini's car, which carried the body outside Tehran as reported by the newspapers... is the one who informed the government about the crime and the location of the cave. However, the government and the Army General Staff have not yet announced the promised statement of this crime and were satisfied with a statement of desire to reach dangerous points whose threads they have stood upon... or they intend to exploit the situation for dangerous goals...

From the aftermath of the assassination of the Iranian Police Director - The Iranian police arrested two other retired officers, Nasrallah Zahedi and Ali Akbar Payandar, on charges of having a connection to the killing of Major General Afshartous, the Iranian Police Director. It is known that Nasrallah Zahedi is a relative of retired General Fazlollah Zahedi, who was led by the opposition in the House of Representatives to succeed Dr. Mossadegh in the Iranian premiership.
With the Korean Armistice Negotiations - The international and communist delegations in the Korean armistice talks held another 50-minute meeting today, then adjourned at the request of the communists until tomorrow, without the two parties reaching an agreement on the fate of the prisoners who refuse to return. The international side informed the communist side that it is not desirable to choose an Asian country to supervise the affairs of prisoners unwilling to return to their countries. An American spokesman in Washington stated that the international command in Korea has not set aside the idea of an Asian country supervising prisoner affairs, although it sticks to the nomination of Switzerland, which sets an example with its neutrality.
Execution of the killer of the former Iranian Minister of Education - The death sentence was carried out today against Nasrallah ⟦illegible⟧ for his assassination of Dr. Zanjani in April 1951. Dr. Zanjani was the Minister of Education in General Razmara's ministry, who was also killed at the hands of Khalil Tahmasebi, who was released under a special law issued by the Iranian Parliament to pardon him.
Egyptian-British Negotiations and the Defense of the Middle East - The Egyptian Embassy in Washington issued an official statement last night stating that any discussion regarding Middle East defense positions might disrupt the Egyptian-British negotiations regarding the Suez Canal, and it dismissed reports that circulated recently aimed at obstructing the ongoing negotiations in Cairo. All eyes interested in stability in the Middle East, including America, would do well to beware of any attempts aimed at thwarting the Egyptian-British negotiations.
Restoration of Jordanian Citizenship to Dr. Subhi Abu Ghanima - Near East reported that the Jordanian government has decided to restore Jordanian citizenship to Dr. Subhi Abu Ghanima, who remained exiled from Jordan for twenty years. Jordanian citizenship had been stripped from him in 1945.
Japan's Purchase of Iranian Oil - The legal inspector for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in Tokyo made a statement to Japanese newspapers clarifying the unwavering position of the aforementioned company regarding Iranian oil purchase deals by Japanese companies.

The King's Day
The country welcomes on this eternal and flourishing day a glorious feast among its great, bright, and shining national holidays... a feast whose splendor and greatness surpass all its holidays, moving it from one era to another and opening before it new fields in which its potential is manifested and its hopes and aspirations are realized in its vastness. On this auspicious and bright feast, Iraqis look toward their young King, the focus of their hopes and the meeting point of their aspirations. Their harmonious bond traces in the light overflowing from his face the paths of glory through which they rise to the highest peaks of pride and elevation. They draw from the spirit of determination embodied in his sincerity and love for his people a fertile support to aid them in their arduous struggle to reach the goals they aspire to, which are a free and dignified life and an overwhelming national glory...
It is no wonder that hopes and aspirations gather around the beloved Faisal, for his noble fathers and grandfathers were the leaders of liberation in the Arab world. They were the ones who laid the first brick in the foundation of the modern history of Arabism. They led the Arab Revolt from victory to victory, from glory to glory, and from pride to pride, confronting the traces of collapse, weakness, and the forces of tyranny and despotism with a stance through which they honored the Arabs in the horizons of freedom, liberation, and modern progress.
The spirit of strength, determination, and sincerity flows from the blood of the young King and drives him to be a hero for a nation's renaissance and the hope for a movement sparked by the new. The beloved Faisal, the cub of the great Ghazi, is the leader and the chief, and he is the expected hope full of meanings of elevation and sublimity. Today, the nation, in its celebrations, expresses the love and loyalty it harbors for its King and presents before him the love, affection, effort, and sacrifices held in the hearts of its sons. There is nothing greater than this wedding nor more beautiful than this night, in which his loyal people share a mutual overflow of emotions of loyalty and support. Sincerity appears from his joyful face, and in his healthy eyes, there is hope and life for the observer, two eyes looking toward the future with confidence and strength.
On this auspicious day in which His Majesty the Great King assumes his constitutional powers, the people look with sincerity and affection toward His Highness the Faithful Regent and the Great Crown Prince, who was the best to guard the trust and care for this Faisali flower, guiding the Kingdom to the shore of safety and security.
The era he oversaw was a flourishing and bright era characterized by the supreme dedication His Highness showed toward my noble King, which spared the country many harms and directed it with sound guidance toward productive and useful work. Here is the people, their joy shining, renewing their covenant, seeing in him the greatness of sincerity and affection. This love appears and rises because the intention and the truth of history will be recorded in letters of light, and his love will remain in the heart of every individual in Iraq. On this happy occasion, we offer congratulations to the noble people and pray to God to protect our redeemed King and strengthen the assembly of this greatness; He is the All-Hearing, the Responder.
Is the Government Ready to Utilize
the Blessed Coronation Day Nationally?
By Mr. Ja'far al-Khalili
For several days, international delegations have been flocking to Iraq from various directions and countries to participate in the coronation festival of His Majesty the Great King Faisal II. This is an opportunity that may not be repeated in terms of the gathering of this large number of delegates and official delegations of countries with whom we have many affairs and interests that require deliberations, discussions, and practices that should not be overlooked or postponed to other times. If the advantage of this happy day is Iraq's meeting with all kingdoms through their representatives and getting to know them and introducing them to Iraq, then the perfection of these advantages, rather the duties of this...

Happy Eid
By His Excellency Mr. Muhammad Jawad al-Khatib
The following is the text of the speech delivered from the wireless broadcasting station by His Excellency Mr. Muhammad Jawad al-Khatib, Deputy of Karbala, on the occasion of the auspicious Coronation Feast:
Today, the government and people of Iraq celebrate this happy feast, welcoming a new era of the eras of this noble Hashemite House, which completed its glorious history and sparked the modern and blessed Arab renaissance.
His Majesty the Great King Faisal II assumes the duties of his kingship, and the means of rescue and construction are abundant with the goodness God has bestowed upon the country. The tool of reform is ready with the righteous thinkers and sincere professionals in this nation. If the word is united in an atmosphere of cooperation and sympathy, the ranks are unified, hearts are purified, and opinion is formed with agreement and harmony on a sound national path that adopts the factors of modern development and leads to a decisive and comprehensive popular renaissance in various aspects of life, then the reasons for swift achievement and complete reform that penetrates to the core of life will be prepared, healing all entities and providing comprehensive prosperity for all citizens alike, achieving a pleasant life worthy of human dignity in this age.
This call to unite under the banner of patriotism and to rally around the Throne to serve it with truth and sincerity is the straight path to making the nation formidable, cherished, enjoying its freedom and independence, and occupying the appropriate position among the ranks of advanced nations.
Long live the homeland, long live the King.

His Majesty King Hussein the Great
Festivals Celebrating the Coronation of the King Today
The sisterly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan celebrates today the anniversary of His Majesty King Hussein the Great ascending his throne and being crowned King over it. Jordanians celebrate this great holiday with massive popular festivals and demonstrations of joy and optimism in their history, a new bright page that we hope will crown a prosperous and shining era for the noble Jordanian people, and be full of the brilliant victories achieved under the leadership of its young King in various fields of progress, elevation, and awareness. This era of King Hussein is a great era of high renown in his heart, which he loves for his people and for Arabism.
His Majesty was born in the city of Amman on October 14, 1935, and that day was a great holiday in which the joy of the Highness of the King of the Arabs from the blessed Hashemite lineage was pleasant. It is among the traditions of this blessed lineage that its sons are raised with a correct religious and national upbringing. Therefore, His Highness was sent in his early childhood to a private nursery in Amman, then His Majesty moved to the Bishop's School in Amman where he received his primary education, then he moved from the nursery to Victoria College in Alexandria in the second capital of the Republic of Egypt. Then the Jordanian people ⟦...⟧ and he did not receive any exceptional treatment at all and was a great example for the students. He was known for his brilliant intelligence, flowing vitality, and unparalleled keenness in attendance and performing his school and athletic duties. It is among the traditions of this blessed lineage that its sons are raised with a correct religious and national upbringing and honesty in word and deed, and he was characterized by high moral character, humility, and sympathy for the poor and needy.
After that, His Majesty the King was sent to Victoria College in the city of Alexandria, where he was an example of a diligent student devoted to his studies and duties to show his colleagues and teachers, and honesty in speech to his colleagues, and he gained the love and respect of teachers and students. He was always at the forefront of his class in lessons, strong character, precision, sincerity, and skill, and excellence - alongside his excellence in science - in many sports. He was among the best prominent in fencing, horsemanship, football, and "rugby," and among the amateur hunters and the wilderness. He mastered driving cars, and this sport became one of his prominent favorite hobbies. When the summer vacation arrived, he returned to the Jordanian Kingdom and traveled throughout its regions, getting to know its conditions.
After he reached the age of 16, he went to Britain and joined Harrow College, and there he ⟦...⟧ as was his custom among his colleagues, so the teachers and students loved him and admired his refined manners, humility, and devotion to work, study, and obedience. He insisted on being treated as an ordinary student and being on equal footing with his colleagues. The residents of Harrow also appreciated his nobility and good character traits and loved him.
On August 11, 1952, His Majesty was proclaimed King of Jordan, and on the same day, a Regency Council consisting of three members was appointed to exercise constitutional powers.

His Majesty King Faisal II the Great
The Era of Faisal
The Procession of Glory
His Majesty King Faisal II was born in the city of Baghdad on the second day of the month of
May 1935 and His Majesty was proclaimed King of Iraq on April 4, 1939 while he was
four years old following the death of his late father, King Ghazi I. His Majesty was surrounded
from his early childhood by the best methods of upbringing and education, and his primary education
was fully organized by special national professors so that his education would be consistent
with national aspirations and the traditions of the noble Hashemite House. Foreign professors
were also appointed for His Majesty to teach him the English and French languages, and he became
fully proficient in these two languages in addition to the Arabic language. His late mother,
Queen Alia, and His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Ilah, the Great Crown Prince,
were the best guides and friends to His Majesty, and he received from them the best care and most honorable
guidance. His Majesty was trained in an organized life characterized by seriousness, firmness, and appreciation
of duty, but it was not devoid - within its limits - of providing the innocent pleasures
required by childhood.
After His Majesty finished his special primary education in Iraq, it was decided
that he would complete his secondary education in excellent English schools while ensuring
the continuation of his special studies in the Holy Quran, religion, and the Arabic language. In 1947,
His Majesty joined the (Harrow) preparatory school and was no less than
On this happy and auspicious day, the
country welcomes a new era of its
prosperous eras, and its history opens for it
bright pages pulsating with life, upon which
its aspirations and hopes for a comfortable life and
complete prosperity are drawn. And the lightning today from
its furthest end to its furthest end, and from its north to its
south, and from its east to its west, looks
towards its young King, seeing in him its hoped-for
hope, its happy fortune, and its smiling
future. The entire nation sings songs of
victory and joy, praying to God to
grant success to beloved Faisal in leading it to
its great goals in which its
aspirations for glory and honor gather.
In Faisal, the struggle of the noble Hashemites
gathers, those who vowed themselves to Iraq
and the Arab nation. They were the leaders of the renaissance
and the heroes of liberation calling for struggle
to achieve freedom and independence for the Arabs in
Iraq and in all parts of the Arab world.
From Hussein to Faisal to Ghazi to
Faisal the son and grandson, the processions of
struggle marched in the plains of the Peninsula and on the banks of
the Two Rivers and Barada and in the land of Palestine
and Jordan, opening for the Arabs the path of struggle
and sacrifices, and guiding them to the places of glory
and progress, and making them feel that national dignity
is the foundation upon which the renaissances of
nations are built. These processions that marched
behind the Hashemites are the ones that charted for the Arabs
their modern history and moved them from eras
So the lights of rise and progress shone in it,
and during it His Highness the Regent,
the Great Crown Prince, took over the trust of governance, and he was
the faithful guardian of the country's responsibilities
and the skilled captain in leading the ship of the Kingdom.
He had the thankful effort in raising the apple of
the people's eye in a sound and high upbringing worthy
of his status and the great role he has in leading
the nation. He also exerted successful efforts to push
the country forward on the path of reconstruction and in
strengthening Arab unity and supporting Arab
causes. Palestine still attributes to him
his merit in helping and supporting it, and its
fields still witness his brave visits
to the Iraqi army forces that fought
the war there.
Today, as he hands over to the beloved King the trust of
responsibility and sits to lead the ship,
the hearts of an entire nation look to him, watching
his strong determination and looking forward to his
smiling future with which its future is linked. And
this cub will only be from those lions
who led the struggle of Iraq and the Arabs
and were a symbol of the modern history of the East.
Beloved Faisal assumes his responsibilities in
one of the most dangerous periods through which the Arab nation
passes in its history. It faces today
huge and great problems that it must
solve in order to achieve its aspirations and hopes.
In the Arab Maghreb, the Tunisians,
Moroccans, and Algerians are fighting a
hard struggle against two dangerous colonialisms that
do not hesitate to use every violent
method in order to eliminate their
liberation revolutions. In Egypt, forces are intensifying
to achieve the aspirations of the Nile Valley for the withdrawal of
foreign forces from its lands and the elimination
of everything that hinders Egyptian sovereignty.
In Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, there are other
free movements that must reach their goals
and objectives. In all of this, the Arab League
stands before international problems, confused,
needing reinforcement, and nothing reinforces it
except the union of forces among the Arabs.
In the era of Faisal, we hope that all their
goals and aspirations will be achieved for the Arabs, so their League
will grow stronger and increase its influence in the international
field, and they will obtain their national
and ethnic aspirations, and they will cover great and
important distances on the path of a free and dignified life.
In the era of Faisal, we hope that
Iraq will complete its national aspirations and goals,
becoming free from every restriction that limits its sovereignty,
and using all the possibilities of the modern renaissance
in the social, cultural, and
economic fields. The new era of Faisal
will be, God willing, a prosperous and bright era
and a title for a new bright history for Iraq
and the Arabs. O God, protect him and grant him health
and wellness and delight the people's eye with him.
The well-known Palestinian mujahid Mr. Salim Abdul Rahman
submitted the following letter to the presence of His Majesty King
Faisal II the Great:
My Lord, His Majesty the Great,
Hardly does the dawn of this auspicious and distinguished day break and its lights shine until the
processions and legions, followed by legions, march to the capital of Al-Rashid and the city of ancient glory.
Hearts beat for hearts, feelings burn for feelings, and limbs tremble with an ecstasy
that overwhelms the fluttering flags and decorations with good tidings and joy, and flowers open with fragrance
and scent, and the sky of the greater Arab homeland from Tangier to Basra is filled with good news
and joys, and the whole world speaks of the immortal day with a full name and satisfaction. And he presents

guidance. His Majesty was trained in an organized life characterized by seriousness, firmness, and appreciation
of duty, but it was not devoid - within its limits - of providing the innocent pleasures
required by childhood.
After His Majesty finished his special primary education in Iraq, it was decided
that he would complete his secondary education in excellent English schools while ensuring
the continuation of his special studies in the Holy Quran, religion, and the Arabic language. In 1947,
His Majesty joined the (Sandroyd) preparatory school and they were in less than
three years. Then he joined (Harrow) College and was able during it to complete his education
there in a short period and to cover a wide stage in his special studies, Arabic
and Islamic. Then he began to receive high social studies specializing in history,
geography, and economics.
Those who knew His Majesty King Faisal and were in contact with him find that His Majesty has
been adorned with the best moral qualities and traits of honesty, courage, gallantry, and authentic
democracy and high personal charisma that makes him beloved to every heart, and all of that is decorated by a capable
intelligence, a sound nature, and a balanced mind that appreciates circumstances and understands matters with speed
and clarity, which indicates scientific and social maturity by which he surpasses his peers in
age by wide stages. For this reason, during his learning, he was the object of the teachers' love
and their appreciation, and the respect of his fellow students and their admiration for his solid tact, humility,
and dedication to knowledge.
His Majesty is religious, respecting Islamic religious teachings with great respect, and finds
in reciting the Holy Quran and its interpretation the greatest psychological pleasure. Furthermore, His Majesty is attached
to Iraq as a homeland and a people, and in this aspect, he is a sincere popular king who exchanges
love for love and loyalty for loyalty with his people, and among his dearest wishes is the progress and welfare of his people.
His Majesty is among the most skilled athletes; he practices Swedish exercises,
boxing, tennis, cricket, horse riding, and driving cars. Among
His Majesty's favorite hobbies are precision mechanical instruments and oil painting, and he has a special
interest in reading and acquiring selected books to add to his rich library. You are amazed by
His Majesty's culture and the breadth of his knowledge of various sciences, inventions, and the course of events
in the world, and he comments on them with comments that indicate depth of thought, accuracy of observation,
and correctness of discernment. Alongside that, we see him with great interest in knowing the developments of sciences
and arts and the new discoveries and inventions in industry, agriculture,
and health with the intention of benefiting from them to raise the status of Iraq and increase its progress and prosperity.
His Majesty King Faisal II has a complete grasp of Arab political affairs,
knowledgeable in everything related to Arab countries and their governments and the extent of their progress in the field of
civilization and urbanity and the projects they need.
May God grant us enjoyment of his happy and eternal life and protect him for Iraq and the entire Arab nation.

and progress, and making them feel that national dignity
is the foundation upon which the renaissances of
nations are built. These processions that marched
behind King Faisal are the ones that charted for the Arabs
their modern history and moved them from eras of
slavery and humiliation to eras of liberation,
independence, and rise, and broke the thick
shackles that were binding their hands
and feet, so they were not able to work nor
were they able to walk as free and dignified
nations walk. The Arab Revolt was the
bell of freedom that struck powerfully, so ears
listened to it, and the legions of liberation of the brave heroes
set out guided by its rebuke,
shouting that the era of stagnation and despair has
ended and vanished. Then came the Iraqi revolution
to complete that revolution and finish it, and the
land of the struggling valley was watered with the blood of the victims
whom the nation sacrificed to gain its independence
and enjoy its freedom. The Hashemite kings were
behind these mighty movements, feeding them,
developing them, and walking at their forefront. Then
Iraq had the honor of their taking its reins,
so they were the best founders and the best leaders.
Faisal I established the entity of Iraq,
solidified it, and fixed it on sound foundations, and supported the
independence that the country obtained
with the elements of survival and stability and the possibilities
of modern life, and organized public affairs
in a strong and masterful organization. Then his cub Ghazi continued
the work, effort, and struggle, so the
status of Iraq rose in national
and international fields and achieved abundant progress in the fields of
social, economic,
and cultural life. Then was the era of Faisal II
Arab in its history, for it faces today
huge and great problems that it must
solve in order to achieve its aspirations and hopes.
In the Arab Maghreb, the Tunisians are fighting
new, God willing, a prosperous and bright era
and a title for a new bright history for Iraq
and the Arabs. O God, protect him and grant him health
and wellness and delight the eyes of the people with him.
What are the King's prerogatives
in the British Constitution?
By Professor Abdul Rahman al-Bazzaz
The King in the unwritten British Constitution
enjoys numerous prerogatives that
have continuously evolved and transformed
by virtue of time and events into what is consistent
with correct constitutional life
and the precise democratic system. England
was very limited as it succeeded
in defining the prerogatives, modifying them, and developing
their concepts so that they became completely
integrated with the reality of modern life.
All of that happened - to a large extent -
under an evolutionary system that moves slowly
and steadily, and the revolution had only a
slight effect on the amount of progress that the British
society achieved in this aspect.
Just as the English succeeded in eliminating feudalism
and its accompanying medieval systems,
the principle of economic cause was eliminated after that,
which used to leave room
for individual persistence - and sometimes describes it -
eloquently, and it was able to create a wise
socialist system in its country that achieves
many of the principles of social justice,
and secures the average individual - to a large
extent - against old age, disability, unemployment,
and poverty. From the political side as well,
it has succeeded to a large extent in transforming
the absolute despotic monarchy into a
democratic constitutional monarchy where there is no room
for individual despotism and personal whims
in it.
However, following the steps of that continuous
gradual development requires us to delve into a
historical, legal, and political study from which
it is very difficult to understand the provisions of the rules of
the modern British Constitution otherwise.
Observers of the British Constitution often
fall into grave errors due to
their lack of knowledge of that historical development,
and their failure to understand the essence of those rules
and their goals and the events and
circumstances that accompanied them in the correct way. The
error may sometimes reach the point of complete delusion
when some (modern machines) quote
the terms and rules of the British Constitution
superficially. Perhaps the widest fields of
error and their depths are taking the prerogatives

processions and legions are moved by legions to the capital of Al-Rashid and the city of ancient glory.
Hearts beat for hearts, feelings burn for feelings, and limbs tremble with ecstasy
and joy, and souls with gladness and happiness, and cannons roar with release and sound.
The fluttering flags and decorations wave with good tidings and joy, and flowers open with scent
and fragrance, and the sky of the greater Arab homeland from Tangier to Basra appears with good news
and joys, and the whole world speaks of the immortal day with interest and satisfaction. The
valiant Iraqi people place the crown on the parting of your bright forehead, and millions of
Arabs and Muslims shout, looking forward to the second day of May 1953, in which
the grandson of Faisal the Great and the cub of Ghazi I, King Faisal II, receives the kingdom of
his fathers and grandfathers with duty and adherence to its delegations, carrying the highest burning emotions
squeezing the hearts of its sons and daughters, old and young.
At the forefront of these millions, a million of your people and kin rise, displaced by
the oppressive and brutal Jewish gangs under every star, and they occupied the holiest of
homelands and usurped the houses of God and Islam. This people rose, burning with enthusiasm,
pride, drive, and defiance to repeat the songs of glory and eternity and to let the crowds
and masses in the plains, mountains, cities, villages, and Palestine and on the borders hear, singing
joyfully on the day of your coronation on the throne of pride and grandfathers. He sends from the depths of the hearts of
its sons, youth, elders, women, and girls congratulations and blessings to Your Majesty and to the noble
Iraqi people on this immortal day and great deed.
O His Majesty the Great,
Indeed, for your fathers and grandfathers and among your people there is a covenant you have made, and a national program
you have implemented, and a right to life and freedom that the enemies snatched, so restore it, and a sacred
usurped homeland, so reclaim it, and a struggle for the happiness of your people and your nation, so continue it, and an effort to save
humanity, so support it.
And I, on this great historical day, from the homeland of Saladin and the lands of
Yarmouk and Hattin and the vicinity of the sanctities of Arabs, Muslims, and Christians, raise
to Your Majesty and to the descendants of the Great Prophet and the noble Iraqi people the sincerest signs of loyalty
and faithfulness and great blessings and congratulations, praying to God for the realization of hopes and aspirations
and that He protects you as a pride and treasure for Arabism and Islam, our master.

Al-Hawadith - We reassure Professor Abdul Rahman that Palestine is always
and forever at the forefront of what Iraqis, King and people, think about,
and that its liberation is an integral part of Iraq's strong struggle, and its
national aspirations cannot be achieved except by saving it from the clutches of Zionism, God willing, to return
free, independent, and Arab.

Arab Independence Movements
and the Honorable Hashemite House
By Professor Adel Nawras
Spring of the Illustrious Crown
By the poet Sabri Al-Hamdani
Black Gold in Iraq
By: Saeed Al-Dabouni
Inspector of Education for Mosul Province
Observers of the history of Arab awakenings
which came in successive periods
since the dawn of Islam broke
and extended until this very day, notice that
these blessed Islamic awakenings or movements
were and still are closely linked
to the honorable Hashemite House.
The last awakening undertaken by the Arabs in
their modern history was that Great Arab Revolt
announced by the Dean of the House of Hashim,
the Great Savior Hussein bin Ali, against
the Ottoman Empire on the ninth of Sha'ban
in the year 1916, which resulted in the establishment of the first
independent Arab state in the regions of the Levant headed by
King Faisal I, then the establishment of the young Iraqi state
also under his leadership, which celebrates today
the coronation of his grandson, His Majesty King Faisal
II, as its constitutional king.
It is a strange coincidence that the
joys and sorrows of the Arabs meet in one month,
their joys in the coronation of their kings and their sorrows
in the memory of the Palestine Nakba and the displacement of its people
and the establishment of a state of outcasts in the heart
of the Arab world. We hope that the
coronation joys will be a prelude to a new Arab
rebirth before which the Jewish idol state
will be shattered, and this is not too much for
Iraq, as the armies of the Iraqis went out
conquering countries and regions, and from it,
God willing, in the era of the Hashemite King,
the Arab armies will go out to restore to the Arabs
their dignity and save the lands that were expanded,
Palestine, and protect the realm of the world of existence from
what they have turned into injustice and aggression as the State of Israel.
Faisal II, even if he is King of
Iraq - by virtue of the current Arab political world -
if we cross the borders and barriers,
which are nothing but chains, we see him
as King over all Arabs without dispute,
because he who possesses hearts has no need to
possess land divided by whims and horizons,
upon which there are different apparatuses and for which multiple flags
were created, while in reality it is but one land
for one nation and one people.
The Arabs in the East and the West, the veterans
and the immigrants, the first generation and the
young generation, we hope in his
happy era for the independence of the Arab homeland and the removal
from its internal sides of the political borders
being what they carved out - for a purpose
in Jacob's soul - as states, which are nothing but
colonies planted by the foreigner to achieve
his goal in exploiting the Arabs and the wealth
of their homeland.
The independence and unity of the Arabs were
among the goals of Hussein, then Faisal
after him, and today, more than
half a century has passed since the Arab Revolt, and the Arabs
are still groaning under the yoke of colonialism.
We hope that the era of the young King will be the era of

The breeze softened over the silver of the water
And the luminous dawn sang and fluttered
And the spring sun turned toward the hills
And the buds opened and became
Fragrant with the breath of perfume as if they
And as if they, when filled with dew,
And the birds became atop their branches
And its shooter was wandering in ecstasy
And I built in my side a hermit's temple
So it quenched the thirst of what its relief did not seek
It followed the path of the Prophet Muhammad
And was sanctified with purity and wrapped in it
The crown and the lofty throne are both
A cub, and its wide paths are its path
And on the banks of the two rivers are lions
From every armored one of Jihad to the heights
And they gave him the crown of the kingdom, and it is sacred
O inspirer of poets with a true revelation
I perfumed it with the blood of a pure heart
Take it with rosy cheeks as if it were
And look at the rose, how it is adorned by
It wove its clothes from the dewy light
Spring passed with its flowers and splendor
And approached the moon of flowers with a look
It offered him a greeting with its look
A moon that holds the head in its sides
What is pride if it rises in the heights
May the advisors not be rewarded if they

Baghdad:
So it overflowed with longing from it in my blackness
Its lights are a hand from the darkness
Clothing the gardens in a yellow robe
With joy, smiling with a virgin's smile
The spirit of life creeping in the surroundings
A cup we dance in the hand of companions
A melody repeated by the mouth of poets
Its freshness enriched it from the wine
My rituals and my prayers were eager in it
The hearts of the stars prostrated in it to draw near
And held fast to the illustrious Sunnah
And was cloaked in the divided uniform
Inheritance for its Faisal from the fathers
Nations with that cub and the wide space
Ransoming him with souls and children
Or every frontrunner to the fray
For his majesty and his bright clarity
The sanctity of the trustees to the trustees
I have in you the inspiration of a peerless poem
And I clothed it in purity, the best clothing
A maiden adorned by the hands of evening
Bees like the buzzing of the dark-eyed ones
O how beautiful the clothes it wove
It chirps in the peaks of the immortals
Like a virgin if she looked with an eye of modesty
So it remained with sincere love and loyalty
And a spark of brilliance embraces it
What is the wandering planet in the atmosphere
They have likened the youth of Zahra to it
And its branches towered to the heights
Sabri Al-Hamdani
The abundance of oil in the land of Iraq made
the Iraqis among the first nations to use it
in lighting and fuel, then they used it
as a powerful incendiary war material, so they
used to throw at enemies projectiles of linen
saturated, contaminated with oil and sulfur,
with which they withstood the enemy's attack on them,
so they dispersed their ranks, after they set
fire to their equipment and terrified their forts,
and dispersed their fighters.
The oldest text we found that points us to
their use of these incendiary projectiles dates back
to the second century AD, for it was said
about the Roman Emperor "Septimius
Severus" that he besieged the city of (Hatra)
in the year 194 AD and failed to capture
it, due to the strength of its walls, and that its people
used fire projectiles of pitch
and sulfur, so these projectiles were
a powerful weapon, terrifying the enemies, dispersing
their ranks, burning their horses, and burning
their machines and equipment, so they returned disappointed,
and the people of (Hatra) took the oil
and sulfur from places near them,
where it is abundant (like Qayyarah
and Hammam al-Alil).
Historians mention that the transfer of these
incendiary projectiles to the land of the Romans was
at the hand of a Lebanese Arab man, who was skilled
in their composition and use, at the time when
the Byzantines were in dire need of them,
to repel the Arab attacks on their country,
so they seized this man and enticed him, and
kept at him until he fled to their country, and taught them
how to compose and use them, and the Romans hid
the matter from the Arabs and were devoted to preserving
it, thinking that the Arabs did not know it.
We have many texts confirming that the Arabs
themselves were good at using it in
the same history - the first century
AH -
Al-Masudi mentioned in his Meadows (2:97)
when speaking about the siege of Al-Husayn bin Numayr
Al-Kindi of Mecca when Ibn
Al-Zubayr revolted, the following: ("And Al-Husayn
bin Numayr set up catapults and engines against Mecca
and the Mosque, from the mountains and paths, and Ibn
Al-Zubayr was in the Mosque... so the stones of the
catapults and engines rained down on the House, and along
with the stones, oil and linen fibers were thrown
and other incendiaries...")
The Arabs also used oil in
their wars with the Byzantines, for it was said that
Al-Rashid, when he besieged the city of Heraclea: threw
fire at it, and it was melting the wall
and cracking it, and its people betrayed and asked for
safety, so (Ibn Jami') the famous singer
entered upon him, and sang to him from the poet's verse
Continued on page 7
Heraclea fell when it saw a wonder
Sensors throwing oil and fire
Our fires were in the side of their fortress
Pouring on short masts
So where does the Pre-Islamic era have oil projectiles and stoning
And that the catapult (Al-Mutawakkil) besieged
the city of (Tiflis) and when the siege lasted long
he followed the oil-throwers and they destroyed the city
with fire and burned it. And so there became in the
Arab army a group specialized in
throwing oil, and they are (the oil-throwers)
And the Mosul Atabeg armies were
among the most skilled armies in using oil
because of the abundance of this material in Mosul
and its surroundings, and when Saladin
Al-Ayyubi besieged the city of (Jerusalem) and the
duration of the siege was long for him, the King of Mosul
(Mahmoud bin Mawdud bin Zengi) sent him
white oil as much as he could find
and it was one of the powerful weapons

Which Saladin used in the conquest.
As for the method of throwing projectiles: they were thrown from ships by means of "Zirafas", which are copper cylinders fixed at the front of the ship, acting as machine guns in these days. As for the large barrels, they were thrown from ships by means of "catapults", which act as cannons.
The Arab fleets were among the strongest fleets in the Middle Ages, and poets excelled in describing them, including what Al-Buhturi says:
I went to "Amun" in the morning, and it was for the blessed riders under victory
If they both plunge into the abyss of water, I thought it was a spray during a colored cold
Imagine the fates where their palms tilted, if they pelted with fire, their pelting was not for uprooting except for a roasted meat
They hinder a fleet as if its ships were summer clouds of gloom and rain
I turned with them towards the two drinkers above them, a ruin as if it were the master of the high victor
When I went until the war brought out dark blood among them and a flying head
And Ibn Hani al-Andalusi has poems describing the fleet of Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah al-Fatimi, including his saying:
From the sparks, the fire kindles a blaze, so it has no extinction on the day of meeting
If it exhales in rage, it throws with a flame like the stars of hellfire fuel
The heirs of the garrisons rose as thunderbolts, and their exhaling mouths were iron
It has flames above the day as if they were blood expelled by black blankets
In addition to other poems that describe intelligence by means of catapults, the oil land was in glass bottles, after being mixed with burning ink like sulfur and kundus.
Those are for the people of beauties, their images, and they are not far from the people of the outcast, then they are thrown at the place intended to be burned or destroyed.
And they used hand lamps, carried by members of the army, with which they throw at the enemies, and they are made of round glass with handles stuffed with oil and moving with the seed of Salama, so the striker lights it, then throws it and breaks it on the enemy.
What shows us the frequent use of these hand bottles is what "Ibn al-Jawzi" mentioned that the glass of chickpeas was uprooted by a local hand - in the sedition that was between the arena and Malikshah in Baghdad - eighteen thousand bottles, besides what they had from the shift of "Tikrit". If they were counting this number in a local sedition that lasted for days, how many would they count if they marched to invade the land of the Romans??
This is a small glimpse of the use of oil in wars among the people of the East.

Continuation of What are the King's Prerogatives
The King or the British Crown essentially does not possess
The King of those lands without distinction
between (abstract theoretical legal right)
and (living effective constitutional custom)
as many of the Crown's prerogatives
recognized from a formal perspective
and legal perspective have become, through the passage of British
constitutional jurists themselves, virtually non-existent
and have transformed into mere theoretical formulas,
and historical considerations of no value whatsoever
in the reality of practical political life, and
Professor (Arthur Alexander) pointed out in
his book on the British Constitution to this
meaning when he said: (As for the relations of ministers
to the King, and their ties and allegiance to each other,
and to Parliament, and to Parliament, it is not decided by
the law at all, but rather by custom,
for the law dictates that the King appoints his ministers
and dismisses them and calls for Parliament to convene
and prorogues it and adjourns it or dissolves it, but if we
study this law, we find it as if it were
a constitution - as has happened repeatedly in several
countries - as if it were issued without the British
Constitution, a vague constitution contrary to what it
is in reality, and this contradiction is
the cause of most troubles in non-British states)
And before elaborating on the explanation of the King's
prerogatives, it is worth noting in this regard
the English distinction between two terms, namely
(The King) and (The Crown), as each of
the King and the Crown have established rights exercised
in a specific way; the King is a natural person
who possesses a number of rights and powers,
some as a result of his royal prerogatives,
and many granted to him by legitimate laws
and the sum of those powers and prerogatives
when viewed as a whole is called (The Crown)
In other words, (The Crown) is the personality
of the state because English common law
does not recognize the moral personality
of the state, and it is not of this kind
with the term (The Crown), which resembles in that
Roman law, whose theories were inherited by
most other countries and which considers
the state a moral personality independent of
individuals and its supreme head, and the King
as a person has the right of private property, and the
English speak of the King when they say, for example,
that the legislative authority consists of
the King in Parliament, but the ministers
and state officials are servants of (The Crown)
and its workers.
Professor (Dicey) defined
royal prerogatives as being, from a historical
perspective and practical reality, nothing
it seems but the remains of discretionary
or absolute powers left to the Crown at any
time in the hands of the Crown, but
those absolute and broad powers from
a theoretical perspective, the King cannot
use them except according to what constitutional custom
has established, and they have in many cases
transformed into effective means in the hands of
ministers and the cabinet to achieve
public purposes, and thus they are far from
what they might seem at first glance today
from tyranny - from total tyranny
and lack of responsibility
In the continuous historical development,
and the coloring of legal life, and by relying
on precise legal terminology
and the development of its concepts, and by trying to find
harmony between strict absolute rules
and flexible modern life, the British
society was able to achieve its basic goals
in eliminating tyranny,
and the divine right that the kings of Europe
claimed for themselves, and they built thereby
the rules of the free democratic system,
and the constitutional monarchy in their country
although from a theoretical perspective, the British
government is still (His Majesty's Government)
who has the choice of its head
and the appointment of its ministers and has the right
to dismiss it. And all state employees
are his servants who follow his orders
and manage their positions as long as they proceed
with his satisfaction. And he is the Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces, and the British fleet is his fleet
and the Royal Air Force is his force, and he
administers justice in the world through them
and the judges are his deputies who rule
in his name, and apply justice among the subjects
by his will, and he is the Protector of the Church and its
Supreme Head, then from a purely legal perspective
he is the sole owner of all the land of
the Kingdom, and he is the one who grants titles of honor
and medals of pride among the poor and enriches them,
and by permission war is declared or peace is concluded and
coins are struck in his name, but the fact that the government
is His Majesty's Government does not mean that the King
rules directly, as it is established in the
British Constitution that the King (reigns
but does not rule). And that he cannot act
alone, and any of his acts must be
accompanied by the signature of one of his ministers, and
the English invented by using (legal fictions)
new concepts for (the King's infallibility)
and established the rule that the King can do no wrong,
which, in view of the provisions of common law,
meant no more than that
the government is not held liable for damages
caused by officials during the exercise of
their official duties and exceeding the limits of
their powers, but rather they are personally liable for them
because the King did not ask them in his service to
do wrong. And this principle, which
later became one of the basic principles of constitutional law,
was coupled with another accompanying principle,
considered an inevitable consequence of it,
which is because the King, as his actions fluctuate between
wrong and right, and because if he does something
he might fall into error, and since he does no wrong,
to keep him away from error, he must
do nothing. And just as the government
(i.e., the ministry in power) is his government,
the opposition, according to constitutional custom,
is his opposition. And because, as one
writer of the era said, (the expression of opposition
to the monarchy is not a proper expression because His Majesty needs
an opposition as much as he needs a government)
The meaning of this saying is that the constitutional
King must care for the opposition as much
as he cares for the existing government, and he must not
be biased or partisan to one side over
another, or show a political inclination to
one party over another. Accordingly, he must not
deliver a specific morning speech, and all
he has is (advice) and (warning)
but he cannot do anything
directly.
It was among the King's prerogatives to
choose the person of the Prime Minister, but
constitutional custom today makes it mandatory for him
to choose the Prime Minister from the party
of the majority - in the Commons or the Lords - rather
he must summon the leader of the party that
was in opposition and won the majority as a result of
the elections to Parliament. Some researchers
in the British Constitution go so far as to say that
the Prime Minister must be from
the House of Commons, not from the House of Lords,
citing what King
George V did when he summoned
"Mr. Baldwin" and did not summon
"Lord Curzon" after the resignation of "Mr.
Law" in 1923.
As for dismissing a ministry that enjoys a parliamentary
majority, it has not been used since 1783,
even if the right of "duty of care"
in 1934 was used implicitly
personally, which caused the resignation of his Prime
Minister and was thus a subject of severe
criticism. Queen Victoria once tried to
rely on this right, which the King was not
permitted to use because it contradicted the democratic spirit
that grew and flourished
gradually during the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries in Britain, but
her advisors and those close to her warned her
of the consequences of that action, and it has become settled
that dismissing a ministry enjoying a parliamentary
majority is considered an act of exhaustion in
political matters, at the very least criticized by a group
of people, and his position
requires him to be above suspicion,
as "Prince Albert," husband of
Queen Victoria, said: (to help frankly
and honorably, and with all his strength, any ministry
whatever its orders as long as it possesses
the majority and rules by the merit of its work).
Then the King dismisses the ministry, as
Mr. "Asquith," one of the
Prime Ministers, said, by using pressure
forcing it to resign, which must be considered
a ruse not in the opposition party, and by this
consideration he becomes subject to attack.
As for the Crown's right to interfere in the affairs of
officials and dismiss them, its time has ended
and established laws have become the ones
regulating the rights and duties of officials,
whereas before they were considered dismissed
upon the King's death and had to, to continue
their jobs, be reappointed by the
new King. But a law at the beginning of this
century made the positions of officials stable
and not linked to the life of the King.
As for the King's relationship with the judiciary,
it is a moral relationship and nothing more, and in
fact, the English judiciary today
is completely independent of the legislative
and executive powers; rather, it is independent
of the King himself, in whose name the judges rule
and on his behalf. Although
the ruler does not have the power to prosecute the King or
sue him civilly or criminally, that is
due to the old feudal unaccountable power where
the Lord may not be tried in his court
and by his judges; nevertheless,
the British Constitution does not place the King above
the law - today - or the Lords - rather
it means the application of the law applies to
everyone, and the "rule of law" itself means
by his kingship the King because they are his subjects
ruling by law, and if there is no law,
there is no king and no subjects. Among the settled
rules of common law is that the King,
despite being the fountain of
justice from whose conscience justice is sought,
may not sit to hear the cases of individuals,
and he must entrust that to specialized
independent men.
Despite considering the King
the Supreme Head of the Anglican Church,
from the perspective, as stated in
the coronation oath - he must preserve the divine
laws and the true faith of the Protestant
creed as amended and established by law,
and to maintain continuously the Church of England
and its underlying doctrine, system, and governance
as approved by the laws."
Among the King's prerogatives is that he is an integral part
of the legislative authority and that any law is not
considered effective except after his ratification, but
it has become the practice since the reign of Queen "Anne"
that the King does not have the power to withhold ratification of
a law enacted by Parliament, and that the
legislative authority with absolute sovereignty is
the House of Commons.
Since the enactment of the 1911 Act,
the House of Lords has lost many of its
legislative powers, and those powers have settled in the hands of
the nation's representatives. British constitutional theory,
while recognizing the King's right to
dissolve Parliament, constitutional custom
has established that the King does not have the power to dissolve
Parliament except upon the advice of his Prime
Minister, and he does not have the power to dissolve it if he finds
a request for dissolution submitted by the Prime Minister
according to the opinion of some researchers in the British
Constitution.
Even the granting of titles of honor, which are
among the King's private prerogatives, he
uses them based on the recommendation of his ministers,
and this prerogative has become an effective tool in the hand of
any government that possesses a majority in the House of Commons,
and has a majority in the House of
Lords. For British constitutional custom dictates
that it is the King's duty to
grant titles of honor to the persons
nominated by the Prime Minister and in sufficient number
to overcome any majority opposing
the government's policy in the Upper House,
and by this tradition, Labor governments
and Liberal governments before them ensured the right to control
the House of Lords, which consists in
its vast majority of Conservatives.
We can affirm that all
the King's prerogatives and rights are used
today based on the advice of his ministers,
and he is considered responsible for his salary and the salary of
the military forces he maintains.
Inside the country, it must be decided annually
and approved by the House of Commons, and in this
is a guarantee against tyranny.
Perhaps the most prominent point in the modern
British Constitution is its recognition of a principle of
utmost importance and gravity, which is that
"the King has a private personal life
independent of his public life," and in other
words, the holder of the Crown in
Britain today cannot claim that he has the right
to possess in his personal life the path
he sees fit regardless of public considerations,
people's feelings, and the opinion of the Prime
Minister and the existing government. This
rule was manifested in the severe dispute
that occurred shortly before the Second World War
between Mr. "Baldwin" and King
"Edward VIII," who wanted to
marry a divorced woman, "Mrs.
Simpson." It might be interesting to quote
what King Edward VIII himself wrote
about this period and how the
Prime Minister presented it: Mr.
Baldwin said: "I must come to you
warning you, and I felt that there was
one person who could talk to you
and tell you about this matter, and this
person is me, the Prime Minister, and this
is my duty toward my country and toward you.
I can tell you that whoever wears
the Crown cannot serve you unless he tells
you from time to time the truth as he sees it,
whether it is sweet or bitter." Then Mr.
Baldwin mentioned to the King that the system of monarchy
in Britain is unique in its kind; the
Crown in this country has been deprived over generations
of many of its prerogatives, and while this
is true, the position of the Crown now
is more stable than it has been at any time past, but
the Crown must remain respected,
as it has been for the last three centuries
for the monarchy. And that Your Majesty, the loss of
this power does not take long if
the King does something that warrants criticism."
It is known how the struggle between
the King and the Prime Minister ended and how the
elected and responsible Prime Minister triumphed before
the nation against the customary hereditary King,
the protected and non-responsible.
In conclusion, I hope no one thinks
that the King in the modern British
constitutional system has become devoid of
all effective power; despite
the removal of his direct political positions,
his influence in guidance and direction is great
in social and cultural aspects,
which have fused to be more than descriptions,
and his command has an active role; he is
the honorary president of many institutions,
clubs, and societies, and in his name
subscriptions and major charitable projects are carried out,
and he is the one who opens institutions and economic
projects and sponsors sporting and
artistic activity; then he is, as stated in the preamble of
the Statute of Westminster 1931 (the symbol
of the free association of the members of the British nations
and united by a common bond of loyalty). During
crises and wars, the importance of the King increases,
becoming a symbol for the nation, the focus of hope,
and the personification of the state's entity. In this
regard, he preserves the unity of the nation despite
the division of parties and the difference
of policies.
Perhaps the following paragraphs quoted from
the memoirs of the General and Lord Mac England
the former King clarify that "the modern King
best represents..."
(There is no doubt that there are a number of
influential people ready to stand
by me if I called upon them,
and there is no doubt that there is a group of
the people who decided to stand by
the King against his Prime Minister. If I
had appealed to the people and issued a call to
the public, the majority of the people would have rallied around me,
but I wanted to be the King of
an entire nation, not the King of a majority of the people,
and if I had insisted on standing in the face of
my ministers, I would have triumphed.
The Crown has always been the living guide
to the unity of the peoples of the Empire, but
this Crown was not meant to throw unity
at the head of a man who divided the people into a majority
and a minority).

His Majesty King Hussein the Great
- Continued from page two -
The state for the councils on the throne until His Majesty reaches the legal age, which is the eighteenth year
by the Hijri calendar of his long, long life. After that, His Majesty desired to
receive more knowledge and experience, so he decided to join the "Sandhurst" Military College and left
Britain as a student again. His period of study at the Military College ended as it was proven in
all stages of his life that he is the true image of intelligence, brilliance, high ambition, and dedication to
duty, and this is also what was confirmed by his good pursuit of the stars and their love for him. And whoever thought he
was a soldier of complete qualities, as he did not delay in performing all the tasks entrusted to him in
shooting, repairing cars, and leading groups, and he implemented instructions and listened to lectures and did not
allow anyone to call him Your Majesty.
When his birthday arrived while he was in London, he addressed a radio message to the Jordanian people
who love him and pin great hopes on him. Many observers classified this message
as a "brief constitution for a wise, far-sighted king who knows the interest of his nation and is dedicated to
its service." He said:
"Even to work as one hand for the elevation of this homeland, raising its status, and providing prosperity
and happiness for its children, under the shadow of freedom, independence, glory, and dignity. I address to you this
warm invitation from the heart of a young man who knows nothing but sincerity to you and faith in your strength,
make the unity of the word your guide, let it be in word and deed, and take national goals
as a clear symbolic slogan."
Then His Majesty said: "I do not forget that the task is arduous and the obstacles that stand in our way
are immense, but we are capable, with God's help and support, of reaching the goal and achieving the aspirations for which
our word has united, our hearts have remained firm, our intentions have been sincere, and our consciences have been purified."
And he said: "Trust that I am of you, of you with my soul, heart, and mind. I am forever among you, striving
for your interest, thinking, and by serving you I am refined, and for this I work hard, persevere, and build - and for you
Abdullah Ali - full and closely connected to you, listening to your desires, striving to achieve them
as much as I can."
His Majesty ended his message by saying: "I invite you now to a near meeting, so hold fast
to the rope of God all together and be brothers in this homeland and helpers in goodness and work."
And here is His Majesty meeting his people who hold the greatest love for him and are sincere to him with the deepest
sincerity, so he takes the helm and leads the ship to ensure safety, prosperity, and glory, by the will of
God, the Beloved, the Hoped for.

Palestinian Refugees
- Continued from page 2 -
Always victory and glorification for brave Palestine
The gift consists of a wonderful frame
decorated with excellent wood, masterfully
crafted. Inside this frame is set
an ivory arch in the shape of a semicircle
arranged on its outer sides are pictures of
the Hashemite kings, with the Majesty of the Arabs in their center
His Majesty King Faisal II. These pictures
were inlaid by hand on pieces of pure
ivory. Under the arch, a beautiful frame
was drawn on glass, divided into four
sections. The first section represents the Mediterranean
Sea. The second section is the occupied part
of Palestine, upon which a large black
octopus crouches, representing
Zionism. In the third section, Jerusalem
is drawn, with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,
Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Dome of the Rock appearing on it.
As for the fourth section, it represents the Arab part
of Palestine belonging to Jordan, and on it is
a wandering woman, a symbol of the refugees.
At the bottom of these drawings on the frame is
a wooden plaque with the dedication phrase, which
reads: "O hope of Arabism.. Islam..
the cradle of Christ, peace be upon him, and the place of the nocturnal journey of
the Great Messenger (PBUH) and the voice of your great grandfather,
we hope for salvation at your hands,
the Palestinian refugees."
This gift was made by the Iranian artist
Fereydoun Morteza, Professor of
Arts in the Islamic Section, and he succeeded in
presenting it in an excellent and beautiful way.
At the time we publish this
news, we hope that during the reign of the Great
King, Palestine will be liberated from the brutal
Zionist occupation, so that the beating heart of Arabism
will have the Arab flag fluttering over it, which
will be a collective symbol of the victory that crushes
the defeat whose bitterness is still being tasted,
and crushes the ghost of defeat looming over the head of
every Arab if the Zionists are not expelled
and thrown into the sea, and the displaced refugees
return to their homes and families. This gift
they present is but an expression
of their desire to return to Palestine, to
their homes, their stolen land, to be
the secure Arab people of Palestine. The
Hashemite's have always been in the arena of struggle,
fighting for Palestine. The
King will be like his fathers and grandfathers in the vanguard,
fighting for this stolen Arab country.
Perhaps the image of the refugees
before us should be a motive to restore
their status and dignity and return them to their homeland.
In the era of Faisal, we hope this will be completed,
so the refugees will move from their tents and from
their places of displacement to return as honorable,
strong legions to their lands. They have suffered
from the ghost of fear and from the plagues of displacement.
As long as there is one displaced refugee,
no Arab will have peace of mind nor will his heart
be at rest.

Is the Government in a Hurry to Exploit
- Continued from page one -
For the advantages, the Iraqi government should know all
the requirements for salvation, including a wide restoration
that exceeds the limits of diplomacy, trade,
economy, and similar general and private
matters.
I do not know if such a
serious matter, which is seizing this opportunity
to deliberate with some delegations about
issues that concern Iraq and affect its interests
closely or remotely, has crossed the mind of
the government or the mind of the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
or if it will cross. As we have stated, the
Iraqi press, while celebrating this
blessed day and presenting it as a commendable national program,
must know that one of the most important, if not the most important,
results expected for Iraq to reap from the King's auspicious day is for
Iraq to seize this precious opportunity and consider it
an entry point to engage in deliberations
and negotiations that touch upon general Iraqi interests
at their core. So these newspapers should speak
and their writers should sharpen their pens to remind
the government of what belongs to them and what appears in
their minds of what the government should adopt
and act accordingly.
The current government has no excuse
if it procrastinates under the pretext of the near end of
its responsibility and the possibility of others taking over
the work in the ministry, as duty dictates
that it should not waste any moment
that can be used for the general benefit of Iraq.
I believe that the opportunity missed by
a large number of newspapers without pointing
to these matters, urging the government to
take up these precious issues, is still available,
and there is still time to draw the attention of
the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the pending issues
between us and some kingdoms, so that
this deliberation serves as a nucleus to overcome
many affairs. Thus, the Iraqi government
would have given this happy day, the blessed Coronation Day, all
importance in celebrating it and honoring its status,
and made it a comprehensive year, for if it were not for it,
it would not have been possible to start any of the
good public works, for example, and if it were not for it, Iraq would not have had
this opportunity to turn it into a set of benefits
and interests.
This is my concept of national days.
I look at their sanctity through this path
and consider them commendable opportunities in which we wish
for the citizens, if they want to work - every possibility for good deeds.
So the memory becomes dear and multiple, and its effect
doubles in the souls of citizens, and they consider it
a source of abundance and happiness, and without it,
much of the national efforts and lives are lost. Ja'far al-Khalili
Note - A committee in this radio station is dedicating
the programs of the last May 2 to celebrating the

King Faisal II the Great, starting

The recent manifestations of these relations, the phenomenon of deficits in budgets
between the Western and Eastern camps, the Middle Eastern countries
and the financial and political difficulties in some, and it was natural that these bad conditions would be reflected on the budgets of
the countries, have resulted in a relative slackening in the aforementioned advanced countries, for the general revenues
implementation of armament programs in the major powers in these countries depend to a large extent
and shifted an additional part of the production forces to agricultural production taxes
to the peace of civil consumption, until the taxes on foreign trade reached. From
peaceful production in Western Europe another side, the economic and social reform programs
and America reached its peak. and the strengthening of defense means
And it was from the results of the above, and from and the maintenance of security in them necessitated
the activity of cheap production for the former Axis countries an exceptional expansion in public expenditures,
and some rising countries in the East and made it impossible to comply with the requirement of
and in Latin America, that the intensity of reducing revenue without prejudice to those
inflationary tendencies that prevailed in industrial countries programs decreased. Thus it is noted that the phenomenon of
after the war, and the successive increases in budget deficits has become a common phenomenon
in wholesale prices stopped in most countries of the Middle East during
the Western world. the year 1952.
The above facts are clear from comparing To be continued
industrial production figures and price levels
during the past three years
in the United States of America and Canada
and in fourteen countries of Western Europe
including Britain.
Considering the figures of the year 1948 as basic
figures equal to one hundred, it is noted that
the average general index of industrial production
in the mentioned countries has risen a new
rise between the beginning of 1952 and its end
as this average increased from 128.7 percent
to 129.2 percent, although the corresponding
increase in 1951 was 11.3 percent.
On the same basis, it is noted that the average
general index of wholesale prices in the referred
to countries has risen by only six-tenths
of a percent during the year 1952, as it increased
from 131.3%, compared to an increase of
23.9% in the year 1951.
And this development was in favor of
Iraq, there is no doubt about that, given
its special circumstances, although it has harmed
the economic and financial interests of most
other Middle Eastern countries.
The explanation for this is that the lack of continuity of the large
consumer increases in the rate of increase in
industrial production and in the wholesale value had
a severe impact on the economies of the countries
producing raw materials, especially Egypt,
India, and Pakistan, where local conditions
were unfavorable, so it is noted that the local
products prepared for export from those countries
have worsened in a noticeable contraction after their
steady expansion after the war.
The export figures from the countries referred
to above indicate the aforementioned, for the value of
the total exports of these countries has become
in 1952 (76%) of what it was
in 1951, as it decreased from
1056 million to 802 million pounds
sterling.
Since agriculture was the backbone of the economies
of the mentioned countries and the source of their purchasing power,
the import trade in them was affected by what affected
the export trade in terms of contraction, so its value
dropped from 1078 million pounds sterling
in 1951 to 1031 million pounds
sterling in 1952, decreasing by a ratio of
4.4 percent.

The memorandum indicated that Jordan had strongly protested to America, France, and Britain to the Mixed Armistice Commission. And
firing began on April 22, and was resumed on the 23rd against civilian passers-by who were doing their daily work. And the
six Arab delegations continued these incidents as another piece of evidence supporting their viewpoint that Israel has no peaceful intention in the Middle East,
but on the contrary, it harbors destructive aggressive intentions against the Arab countries.
Mr. Nazir Al-Omari attended the meeting of the Economic and Social Council as an official observer for Iraq. And the Council is discussing
now technical assistance for economically underdeveloped countries.
An important speech by His Excellency Mr. Abdullah Bakr
His Excellency Mr. Abdullah Bakr, Charge d'Affaires of the Iraqi Legation in Washington, delivered a wonderful speech before Georgetown University. And
the speech consisted of 22 printed pages and dealt with the foundations of the present situation in the Arab world, and touched upon the Arab revolution against the Ottoman Empire
and the establishment of a modern state in the Middle East.
He explained with care and confidence the true meaning of Arab nationalism, and gave its historical basis and the relations between the various Arab peoples
struggling for their national aspirations.
He said that there are many similar problems for the Middle East, even if these problems are in different stages of solution. And he emphasized
that it is impossible to understand the problems of the Middle East without understanding the true meaning of the national movement in the Middle East, this movement
which represents a complete fusion of these two aspirations.
Then he reviewed the situation of Iraq briefly and said that if Iraq's resources were sufficiently developed, prosperity would have spread to all
its inhabitants and it would have worked to increase the prosperity of the Arab countries.
Then he gave a picture of the history of modern Iraq and its developments. And he spoke about Iraq's independence since 1932.
He said that the Arabs will always respond to every gesture that shows sincerity, trust, and positive action towards them.

A State of Anxiety and Terror in Iran!
How did the movement plot to kidnap the Director General of Police and how did they kill him?
A conspiracy in Tehran to carry out several assassinations at once....
Lifting of parliamentary immunity from the accused supporters of Ayatollah Kashani!..
Efforts by retired officers to install General Zahedi as Prime Minister...
Hands playing from behind the scenes!...
By Mr. Hibat al-Din al-Shahrastani
The government continues its meticulous investigations to discover the party that plotted the kidnapping of Major General Mohammad Afshartous, the Director General of Police in Tehran, and assassinated him in that gruesome manner... The information reached, as published by some Tehran newspapers, indicates that the incident was a chapter of a conspiracy plotted to assassinate a number of government leaders in Iran, whereby Dr. Mossadegh would be forced to submit his resignation. However, the conspiracy, as appearances indicate, was only executed regarding the Director General of Police.
As for how this incident occurred: Major General Afshartous left his home at seven o'clock on the evening of Monday, April 20, and went to his headquarters, then afterwards went to Dr. Mossadegh's house as was his custom to present some important issues to him. Then he returned again to his office in the General Police. Shortly before nine o'clock in the evening, he went out in his car to a destination he did not disclose to anyone. He was merely pointing out to his driver the route he should take... During his journey, he found a crowd of people around a drunken person with a large knife he was waving at people and threatening them while they watched him... and the policemen
Tonight at the house of Mrs. "Tamara," the well-known dancer who visited him frequently in his office, accompanied by another beautiful, slender lady, and both have been arrested..
Afshartous used to arrive early at his office an hour before working hours. When he was late and noon arrived without any sign of him, Dr. Mossadegh ordered the formation of a committee consisting of the Minister of Interior, the Chief of Staff of the Army, and the Assistant Director General of Police to investigate the cause of the disappearance of the Director General of Police. They sent more than five hundred commissioners and assistants to search for him in all parts of Tehran... and the area his car reached on the night of the incident.
His car driver leads him to a place...
As for his driver, he stated that he waited for his master until half past two after midnight in front of the Parliament police station.. When he did not find him, he believed that his master would sleep in the house he went to, and since he did not know the house, he was forced to return to his home and sleep.. and he had no
knowledge of the matter.
The investigation committee went out with the driver to the place where Major General Afshartous left the car and asked the grocer present in that place, but he knew nothing. However, a child came forward and said, "A tall officer asked me about the house of Hussein so-and-so, I forgot his surname, and I did not know his house." Another passerby asked about a house and they pointed it out to him. They searched for the house of someone named Hussein which had a telephone, and it appeared that in the neighborhood there was no person named Hussein with a telephone in his house except Hussein Khatibi.
Confession of the Khatibi family about the crime
They raided the house just as they raided the house of the Retired Officers Association, the house of the "Sumka" party, and other houses in that neighborhood.. Following the intense pressure on the Khatibi family, who all denied everything about the incident. However, one of their children confessed to the incident and the entry of a tall officer into their home with ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ an old woman also confessed to the operations that took place. And by their confession
Based on the coldness and disagreement existing between the family members and her husband Hussein Khatibi, he too was forced to confess. This was after an investigation and restriction that lasted more than five days. They arrested a number of members of the "Sumka" party along with their leader Dr. Monshizadeh. They also arrested a number of senior retired officers, including Major General Mozayyani and Major General Dr. Monazzah, who drugged Major General Afshartous with a chloroform needle and then carried out the tragic operation with him.
Mediation that brought him death..
It appears that Afshartous attended this house at the invitation of Hussein Khatibi, who mentioned to him the desire of some retired officers to reach an understanding through mediation with Dr. Mossadegh, provided they waive some of their demands and he also waives some of his demands and an understanding is reached.. Afshartous went at the appointed time to the mentioned house to perform a fine service.. not knowing of the existence of a base conspiracy plotted for him.. It is said that more than a week ago he also met in this house and discussed with the retired officers regarding this matter.
How they killed him after torture
The investigation indicates that as soon as he entered the house, he was arrested by a number of people lying in wait for him. They tied his hands behind his back, then struck him with a powerful punch to his face, and Major General Dr. Monazzah injected him with a sedative needle and they scented the room with strong-smelling perfumes.
