SYRIA.-On May % the French high
commissioner in Syria. Henri Ponsot,
promulgated a new Syrian constitution,
which in general confirms the existing
system under the French mandate and
in most essentials corresponds to the
constitution drafted by the Syrian Con-
stituent Assembly, which in February,
1928, was dissolved by M. Ponsot for
overweening. The new constitution will
go into force after the next Syrian cleo
tons. Syria will then become a repub-
lie, under French mandate, with Par
lament elected for four years and a
President who will have the right to
adjourn or dissolve Parliament under
stated conditions; he must be a MoSlem,
Special arrangements for the provinces
of Latakia and Djebel Druse and the

Simon Commission, I was unable to
give adequate attention to the section
dealing with the extremely important
problem of the army in India. I now
quote. The commissioners have mo
doubt that at least for very long time
to come it will be possible for the army
intrusted with the task Of defending
India to dispense with very consider
able British element, including troops of
all arms regimental officers and higher
command. The British Parliament can
not wash its hands of responsibility for
this army. The functions of the COM
mander in chief should continue sub
stantially as at present.
THE commission considers that the
obligation to go forward steadfastly and
sympathetically with the inflammation
of the army should continue to be
honored in the letter and the spirit II
the army in India were ultimately to
pass, as the commission suggests, out OF

Kurds. despite the Arab nationalist
opposition, have achieved some results
in the Iraq, the stronghold of their
movement. In the northern districts
the government has recognized Kurd-
ish as an official language. But the
Kurds are not satisfied with that con-
cession. They ask full territorial au-
tonomy in the districts in which they
form the majority of the population
and Kurdish schools for their children
in the other parts Of the country.
Constitutional Methods Adopted.
The Iraq is perhaps the only coun-
try in which the Kurds have of late
years refrained from violence, adopting
in its place constitutional methods to
attain their ends. They have a parlia.
mentary group of their own to press
their demands on the Arab parties.
Kurdish aspirations toward a culture
OF their own may also be said to be
stronger in the Iraq than elsewhere.
Inc League OF Nations has recognized
the moral justification of Kurdish de-
mands. The report of the inquiry
commission regarding the Mossul con-
f1lct says: IF the ethnic argument
alone had to be taken into account.
the necessary conclusion would be that
an independent Kurdish state should
be created, since the Kurds form five
eighths of the population" Despite
this, the Arab nationalist succeeded in
annexing this territory.
In view of the misfortune which has
befallen in the other two countries. the
future OF this brave little nation now

New Museum in Rome
Depicts the Yesteryear

"A brand-new museum showing scenes
OF Rome in bygone days opened on
April Il, the city's birthday, and occu-
pies an entire floor In an old palace
which the city recently bought in the
Via del Cerchi. Visitors here may view
about 300 prints and pictures depicting
characteristic scenes of the city, in
Guiding many in the old ghetto and
along the banks of the Tiber, which
have been lost by the passage of time.
Probably of these the most important
are the famous Roesler Franz water coll
ors OF Rome Sparita"-the Rome that
has disappeared. New works by such
artists as Cicerchia, Bottoni, Ortolani,
Lombardi and Farnese, all of whom the
city department of fine arts commits
stoned to paint Piazza Aracoeli, Via Tor
de Specchi, Via Alessandrina and the
precincts of the Theater of Marcellus
before the work of demolition and reno
walton began, are on exhibition An
other room haa been devoted to the old
Roman carnival and contains prints
and pictures depicting masked balls,
flower floats and whoopee parties. A
popular ball, public house and a Ro-
man street in 1920 showing a public let

reconstructed In plaster and canvas,
with lay figures representative of typi-
cal scenes In poorer life.

While we hold that the ultimate de-
velopment of the Indian policy must lie
in the direction of a solution embracing
all India. it is absolutely clear that the
native states cannot be compelled to
become to any closer relationship with
British India than exists at the present
time Indian rulers are naturally proud
of their historic position, and their
rights have been repeatedly acknowl-
edged At the same time, we believe
that they recognize more and more the
need for adjusting their future relation
ship to the rest of India.
I'VE believe that they will only be
ready to come into the larger whole
when they can see that their rights and
position will be safeguarded The
greater unity will come about when 1t
is felt that 1t is to the mutual advantage
of both sides to pursue it, We desire
that the new constitution should pro-
vide ali open door whereby, when 1t
seems good to them, the ruling princes

Discussing the recommendation TO

Each year, under the soft blue skies

to enjoy his show comfortably seated
on a slab of stone, which time and
nature have upholstered in mastery

Ancinet Drama has just made public

of Syracuse. The opening night is
scheduled for April 26 with Euripides'
"Iphygenie in Aulis,'' which will hold
the bill until the 30th Aeschy-
lus' "Agamemnon" will be next on the
list with q premier on April ~ and
supplementary offerings on the LIST,
4th and 9th of May. Between
these performances, the National In
stitute has organized a series OF con-
certS, classical dances and lectures in
the impressive grottoes of Latomei del
Capuccini Finally for the benefit of
tourist "die-hards" there will be lee
lures on theatrical archaeology, ex-
cursions and native festivals.

Particularly bitter were the
memories Of the first match in

feeling, land I am going to
get another crack at him,
sometime soon, and prove it!
He is a wonderful bowler,
there is no denying that, but
he can be beaten. And I'm
going to beat him!" he con-
cluded emphaticaIIy.
Howard considers Nick Tronsky
the finest bowler in the New
England section and expects to
see the stocky Pole climb up to
where he belongs. The easy,
natural delivery Of the New En-
gland youngster and his reaction
under pressure are admired by
the District star.
Next to Tronsky he places Bill

former when the going is heavy,
but must give way to superior
GOODNESS of the husky Pole,

pany.
Jack Whites fault seems to be
that he is discouraged when his
foe gets a long lead on him. How.
ard should know for he has seen
Jack in many battles, and op-
posed him often.
Gacek Coming Star
Whenever Jack gets in front,
though, warns the Tar, overtak-
ing him is next to impossible.
When he gets going he can pile
up more pins per game than
any two other guys.
Joe Gacek, coming star, Is
very much Of the type Of
Nick TrOnSky. What both of
these boys need is more CON.
fidence. They both have the
natural requisites and the
stOlid temperament which
makes the ideal bowling com.
binatiOn. Carl FriSk and Jack
Otto are brilliant but erratic.

necticut All-Stars is in the max
ing and details are expected to
be completed sometime soon. It
will be a sort Of ballyhoo affair
