متن يادداشت

By far the most important problems which occupied theattention of the civil administration in Iraq in the periodbetween the two wars were the related problems of landtenure, irrigation and tribal settlement. Yet twenty yearsof energetic efforts to solve these problems did not succeedin fully removing the various impediments to settlement, andthe history of Iraq during the Thirties was punctuated by"tribal disturbances" and acute agrarian unrest, whichthreatened the stability of the young state. Perhaps themost important reason for this failure Is the lack ofscientific study of the actual conditions and the localpractices of the tribal system, and the absence of a comprehensivepolicy designed to place these problems in theirtrue perspective, and enable the policy of the governmenttowards the tribes, land tenures, irrigation, transport andother agrarian questions to be coordinated into one coherentwhole. In December 1931t Sir Ernest Dowson, who was asked to,recommend a sound system of settlement and registration ofrights to land, wrote that "there was almost a complete lackof precise, authoritative and systematic information in theHeadquarter Offices of Government In regard to land conditionsgenerally and to the methods of holding, transferringand transmitting land actually practised from day to day bythe great mass of landholders and agricultural peasantrythroughout all parts of the country. "Sir Ernest Dowson,in his report (An Inquiry into Land Tenure and RelatedQuestions, Iraq Government, 1932) from which this passageis quoted (P-5). gives a short summary of some nineteenpages only on the "existing conditions" (pp., 10-29)0 anddevotes the greater part of the remainder to his majorpurpose of suggesting a machinery for the survey, registrationand settlement of disputes in land. The result of hisrecommendations were the Settlement Commissions establishedin the country since 1932# which have achieved valuable andlasting work in the areas that they have so far covered.But they have not yet really tackled the purely tribalareas of Mantafig, Amara and Diwaniyya, and there is amplereason to believe that they will not be equally successfulin the settlement of rights to land in these areas unlessthe Law of Settlement is drastically amended. Furthermore,land tenure and land policy is only one (though a very importantone) of the agrarian problems and must be coordinatedwith such other problems and policies as the irrigationpolicy# the transport problem and the administrative andjudicial procedure to be followed in the tribal areas. Onthese problems and their relationship very little has beenwritten and still less published.
