Either the British and the French
will have to agree to an absolute
partition Of the Arab lands, with an
inevitable conflict with the Arabs
themselves, or they will have to con-
sent to an evacuation of all but the
seacoast towns of Beirut for the
French and Basra for the British
and the joint recognition Of a great,
independent Arab state extending
from the Armenian highlands to the
Indian Ocean and from the Medter-
ranean to Persia. Even this latter
solution would hardly last, for the
British would be menaced in Egypt
by the rise of any real Arab state.
SO much for the Arab problem.
But the French sphere of influence

In the end sort of n1odats uivendi
was agreed upon and at the present
moment General Gouraud, the victor
of the Battle of Champagne, in
July, 1918, and until recently COM
manding the troops in Alsace-Lor-
raine, has just embarked to take
over the command Of French troops,
who will hold Beirut and the sea-
coast to Alexandretta, in conformity
with the Anglo French treaty, but
will not attempt to occupy the in
land cities Of Aleppo and Damascus
until the Arab question has been
cleared up by direct negotiation
with the Arabs. AS for the Brit
ish, they remain in occupation of
Jerusalem, Bagdad and the regions
New-York tribune., 1919-11-23

Prince Feisal, the son Of the King Of
the Hedjaz, who had made the cam
paign with the British and had al
ways kept with him Colonel Law
renee, a British soldier, who won
great and deserved fame in the Arab
fighting, came to the Paris Confer
ence. He not only insisted upon
British support, but appealed to the
Americans, basing his appeal on a
declaration made by the French and
the British after the Turkish COL
lapse, that neither sought political
or, more exactly, territorial objec-
tives in Arab regions, as we'll as
upon the Fourteen Points.
Not unnaturally the British SYM
pathized with their Arab allies, while
American sympathy was in a meas
ure enlisted as consequence of the
opinions of American educators and
missionaries in Syria, notably those
from the American College at
Beirut. But it was manifest from
the start that whatever the British
motives, the French were bound to
oppose any solution which excluded
them from Syria and, in fact, trans
formed the whole Arab world into
British protectorate.
French interests in Beirut and in
the Syrian hinterland were very con-
siderable. France, from the days of
the Crusades, had remained the
power exercising protectors rights
over the Syrian Christians, notably
in the Lebanon, and there was a
strong Francophile party in certain
districts of Syria. France, having
borne the burden Of the battle in
Europe, naturally objected to seeing
the British carry off the great colo
NAL gains, the fruits of British bat
ties, to be sure, but Of battles fought
by British troops who could not have
been spared from the Western front
had France not supplied the main
bulk of troops in Europe.
1t would be inaccurate to say that
the quarrels which ensued in Paris
and supplied one of the most danger
Gus elements in the whole situation
grew out of intentional bad faith on
the part Of the British; rather they
were the natural outcome Of the
situation which had developed. But
it was not less clear that if the
Arabians, who had British SYM
pathy and a degree Of support and
were able to enlist not q little
American sympathy, were able to
realize their aspiration France would
suffer and Britains-yould gain i'm
measurably, in reality. France

Clash of Ambitions

HE chief difficulty in the Near East arises of

The most selfish and sordd page in modern

East for itlusory profits rain guarantees OF per-

But this difficulty has survived the ,cor. To-day
the French and British, united by the most splendid
effort Of allied nations in ,uorld history hare
been ,ceu nigh estranged again and again by the old
riralries in Syria The familiar atmosphere of
intrigue and chicanery has again descended.
