The representatives of the Iraq Petroleum Company signed an agreement this week in Jerusalem with the Palestine Government definitely fixing Haifa as the terminus of the Mosul oil pipe line, how it is reported here. The Government is extremely reticent, however, about giving confirmation of the report. A high Government official, speaking to-day with the J.T.A. here, said that the matter is extremely delicate and a statement is impossible for several days. The Shell Oil Company does not deny that an agreement has been reached, but refuses to give any information.
