Iraqi Foreign Minister Al Said told the Iraqi Parliament today that he will send the British Government a memorandum complaining of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill’s statement in Commons last week which was friendly toward Israel, it was reported from Baghdad.

During his address, the British Prime Minister said that it was unfortunate that there was no Arab-Israel peace and pledged that Britain would not permit Israel to be placed at a disadvantage by British aircraft shipments to the Middle East.
