will either establish the responsibility
of or vindicate the Italian soldiery, can
meet the requirements of the case
The Italian premier's suggestion OF
treachery on the part of the Arabs Is also
regarded as untenable. What was this
treachery, 1t is asked?
The mere concealment of arms Is not
treachery, and to punish 1t by death is
not in accordance with the rules OF war
as understood and accepted by civilized
nat ons.
Nor is it shown that the uprising Itself
was treachery. There could only nave
been treachery if the Arabs had. In the
first instance given their parole. and
there is nothing to show that this FORM
ality was ever observed. If they did not
give their parole, then they were at I'D
erty to resist the invader by all patriotic
means at their disposal, and. according
to the views laid down by Great Britain
and several other states at the Brussels
and The Hague conferences. they had the
right to be treated as belligerents
In connection with this the Turkish am
bassador here pertinently says
AS for the allee alton of treachery on
the part of the Arab population. 1t is oh
yio,,s that the surrender of arms had only
been carried on by force. and that the
Arabs. who could not have submitted to
the rule Of the invaders. were In their
natural right to take up all the arm
available to defend their native terri
tory"
