Miss Phillips of Sydney, visiting Genllur at a Baghdad event, compares prewar Arab life under Ottoman rule with postwar Britsh control. She notes tax burdens under Turks, shift to market opportunities after Britain’s mandate, strategic oil route interests, and local reactions to modern methods while reflecting on archaeological finds and friendships formed during her stay.
