NEAR EAST TRANQUILITY HANGS
ON BRITISH TURKISH PEACE
Prestige Not Bayonets Is Secret of Christian Power,
But With War i'm Mosul Whole Mohammedan
!, World Would Probably Rise.

French and British criticize each
others colonial administration out
here with increasing acerblty. There
is what a recent visitor called IAN
astonishing lack of cooperation be.
tween the two manufactures" in syria
and Palestine.
And vet. whether they like it OF
not, British and French are IN the
same boat out here and must float or
sink together British officials and
soldiers in Palestine and Egypt, when
they are not working. spend most of
their time abusing the French. "lf
only we had been in Syria" is the
burden of their song, none OF this
would have happened Personally
! think they are right. Rnt, right
or wrong, they all admit, when pinned
down to il, that rebel successes in
Syria may mean the deuce 10 pay in
Palestine; while the French, who
abuse the British for holding Nosul
and not giving it TO the Turks without
q fuss. admit. when pressed. that a
successful Turkish attack on England
means either the end of French rule
in Syria or a first-clasS war to hold
the country
Hour, Declared at Hand.
The Syrian committee declares: THE
hour for the liberation of North Africa
and Arabia from the foreign yoke,
from French, English and Italian op-
preston, is near at hand. Our Syrian
brethren will follow the example of the
Riffs. the Turkish and Chinese, and
drive out the foreign nations which
enslave us. Aid the Druse revolt. fra
ternize with the French soldiers in the
Orient most of whom are Mohamme
dams, and win them to our cause.
From Tangier on the Atlantic to
Shanghai on the Pacific, the Moslem
people will fall upon their oppressors,
this document predicts.
Another declamatOry pronuncia-
mento from the central committee in
Cairo remarks: Death is preferable
to the foreign yoke: Arabians will
never sheath the sword until indie
pendent The patience of Araby is ex-
hausted The fire of revolution is
blazing. Act like brave men, help our
Riff brethern, get the Mohammedan
soldiers to desert the French.
What do these brave words amount
to, and what is the truth behind stories
Evening star., 1926-03-04

of an approaching Moslem movement
throughout the East? l have tried to
find out, principally in Cairo, where
most of the members of these com
mittees" sit on sidewalks drinking
much coffee. and spill much blood--in
conversation. Columns could be quoted
of such indictments as those given
above, and literature of this sort is
passing over all the caravan routes
from Persia to the coast of Morocco.
Most responsible foreign officials.
not only the English in comparatively
placid Cairo but even the French
here in wartorn Syria, ridicule talk
of any concerted movement of the
Arab peoples to regain their inde-
pendence. Students and visionaries
who try to organize the many races
which speak Arabic face hopeless
task, for the inertia and immemorial
hatreds Of the Orient make anything
like united action in a holy war" i'm
possible. That opinion seems well
founded.
Krim's Success Broadcast.
But it is indisputable that when
Abd-el- Krim for years defeated the
Spaniards and followed this up by
at first taking much ground from the
French, exaggerated rumOrs of his
prowess circulated wherever Arabic
is spoken. And so Abd-el-I<im in Mo-
rocco encouraged Sultan Atrash and
the Jebel Druse to revolt last Sum-
mer, and when Atrash and his brave
fanatical warriors cut to pieces
French column near Ell Sueida this
feat tingled the nerves of the whole
Arabian Peninsula. Anything ap-
preaching a concerted revolt in North
Africa, Arabia and Asia Minor, If
it came, must be ascribed to the influ
ence of the success of one movement
upon disaffected peoples elsewhere.
This Syrian revolt. so far. is not
very serious. 1t would not exist at
all if French finances and opinion
would permit the dispatch of two or
three first class white divisions to
the French regular army. Nearly all
the fighting against France has been
done by the Druses, who are always
ready to fight anybody at the drop
of the hat. and there has been no
general Moslem rising. No more than
five thousand Moslems are in arms
against the French here. The Druses,
by the way, are not Moslems. They
have religion of their own. which
teaches them to hate Moslems and
Christians with equal ferocity.
French Fear Turks.
Out of $4,000 French troops. most
ly colored, now in Syria, nearly 10000
are spread along the Turkish from
tier. which fact proves, more than
any words, what it is the French
really fear. They are afraid of a
Moslem rising. and of help reaching
the rebels in Syria from the Turks.
Were it not for what has been
Evening star., 1926-03-04

happening in the Arabian interior,
where wars go on that are never re-
ported because war correspondents
would get their throats cut, the posi-
tion here could not be described as Of
world wide importance.
During the past two years, however,
what was in effect British hegemony
of Arabia has been all but destroyed.
Ibn Saud. the chief of the fanatical
Wahabites. has now entirely ousted
the successor of King Hussein, his son
Ali, and controls the holy places, the
routes of the pilgrims to Mecca and
Medina, and large parts of the HedjaZ
railway. At his court in Medina are
emissaries of the Druse, and the Emir
Abdulla in Transjordania, set up and
paid by the British, will probably be
attacked from the interior in the
Spring.
To sum up:
If British and Turkey fight over
Evening star., 1926-03-04

Mosul, the general opinion in Syria,
in Egypt and in Palestine is that war
and anarchy will result elsewhere.
More troops will have to. be sent to
Egypt, Palestine and Syria. Palestine
and Egypt, provided reinforcements
were sent out in time, would probably
remain tranquil. But they would be
the only havens of rest in the Near
East.
