The nations represented were In

"The rivers of u venerable

Death has unfolded his black
wings over the whole East. over
an area far vaster than Europe.
Nations which have been great and

despair in their hearts against the
imperialism Of European nations
which move with violence against
d~efenseless populations, using all
the weapons devised by human
malice, ever poison. gases. as has
been recently done in Egypt and in
Malabar, by order proclaimed by

despite the fact that such means
