SYRIA TURBULENT WITH Discomfort
Unrest Rife in Country Since France Obtained Mandate

of Syria and that both states should be
closely bound to France by treaties II
the mandate should be terminated.
These wide concessions did not satisfy
the extreme Syrian nationalists, but
majorities in the local assemblies ap-
proved. Only ratification by the French
Parliament was needed to complete the
bargain.
That ratification did not come. In
France all the conservative parties were
opposed to the idea, so the proposal was
buried interminably in committee and
then blocked by other obstructive tao
tics. When the Blum government fell
and a conservative cabinet came to
power, any real chance of French as
sent was at an end. BY that time, the
European situation had become so criti-
cal that the French authorities could
plausibly tell the Syrians that this was
no time for so radical an experiment.
This did not comfort the Syrians. 1t
infuriated them, and made them be-
lieve the French government had never
been acting in good faith. So unrest,
riots and political strikes famed out
anew. Syria soon became so ungovern-
able that the French authorities sus-
pended local political rights and revert
ed once more to virtual military rule.
Army Left In Air.
Soon after this crisis, the present war
broke out and Syria was filled with
fresh French troops as great army
was built up there under Gen. Weygand
for use in the Near East. Then came
the sudden downfall of France in the
summer of 1910, and Frances Syrian
army was left in the air. After some
hesitation, it decided to obey the Vichy
government. Thereafter, it speedily dis
integrated. Some soldiers and many
officers crossed into Palestine to join
De Gaulle. More returned to France.
A nucleus of about 10000, mainly black
Senegalese or other colonial troops, re-
manned to uphold French authority.
But this authority has become In
creasingly undermined and discredited.
Furthermore. Syria has suffered eco
nomically in grievous fashion, especially
from the blockade imposed by Britain
which has virtually killed foreign trade.
Under these conditions, nationalistic
agitation has f1ourished, stimulated by
various outside propagandas, not only
German and Italian, but also from
neighboring Arab lands.
1t is in this highly explosive situation
that nearby Iraq has dared into open
warfare against Britain, with Syria the
natural pathway for Axis assistance to
Rashid Begs forces. What may happen
to the Syrian tinderbox is uncertain.
But the chances of serious trouble are
certainly probable. Nothing could be
much more unstable than Syria today.
Evening star., 1941-05-11
By Lothrot Stoddard.

France parcelled the country into five
states.
Further north in the remote coastal
mountains, the population consisted of
heretical Moslems, so they were parked
off as the Alouite state. Far inland was
a mountain range peopled by the strange
sect of the Druses, who were also made
a separate state. To complete the pic
ture, the solidly Moslem parts though
united in feeling, were split into two
states-Aleppo and Damascus.
The scheme was logical and looked well
on paper But it did not work out.
Besides affronting nationalist sentiment,
it was extremely expensive. Also, the
French did little or nothing to promote
economic progress. Indeed, by tying the
Syrian currency to the French franc,
when the latter took nose-dive shortly
after the war; the mandate was involved
in similar financial misfortunes.
What maddened the Syrians most was
to compare their own plight with the
far better lot of their neighbors under
British mandate rule. Though Palestine
had its political troubles, it was econom-
ically well off, while in Mesopotamia, a
nationalistic rebellion led the British to
give the country, renamed Iraq, first
autonomy and then independence under
the same King Feisal whom the French
had deprived of his Syrian throne.
The results of all this were series of
conSpiracies, strikes and riots, culminat-
ing in a general insurrection throughout
Syria in 1925. This revolt was put down
by the French after fierce fighting and
much bloodShed during which the his
toric city of Damascus was heavily
shelled and many Of its famous land
marks were destroyed For a while,
Syria was held down by naked force.
Then minor concessions to popular
sentiment were tried.
Half Measures Unsatisfactory.
The states of Damascus and Aleppo
were merged and given some measure of
local self-government, while restraints on
freedom of speech and conduct were
somewhat relaxed. These haf-measures,
however, were unsatisfactory. The ma
tionalists continued to demand united
Syria with full self-government and the
speedy termination of the mandate, as
the British had done in Iraq. When the
French authorities refused to consider
this, agitation and violence broke out
| anew.
The radical shift in French politics
| which occurred with the Blum govern
ment of the Popular Front" in 1886 had
strong repercussion in Syria. Un-
willing to govern the mandate by force,
Blum frankly faced the problem and
expressed willingness to satisfy large
measure Of nationalist desires, though
even he required that the Lebanon should
be kept politically distinct from the rest
