HripoIitanian Revolt

by the ksso<icfsd Press

!, TRIPOLI. North Africa. June
23.-Britain Is sitting On a powder
keg in strategic Tripolitania.
;, Almost everyone here agrees the
keg will explode into Arab riots
or revolt next fall II the United
Nations Assembly tries to hand
sTripolitania back to its former
Italian rulers.
The fiery Mufti Of Libya threat
ems to lead his 100000 Moslem
followers in q war for tndepend-
ience or death If Italy returns.
I For the United States and Brit
ain trouble here would be disas-
trous. Peace is essential to the

Britain's stake Is even bigger.
British Stake Outlined.
Her 9th Army erased the last
italian resistance from Tripoli-
fania's 106,472 SQUARE miles of
sand and shore in January, 1943.
: For six and one half years. Brit
ain has had the costly. thankless
job of mothering $4,000 Tripoli-
, tanians. Meanwhile. the Big
Four and now the United Nations
Assembly have quibbled fruitlessly
over Tripolitania's political dis
position.
Britain Is traditionally pro-
Arab. But as the occupying mill
3tary power responsible for main
1tenance of order. she certainly
would have to use force should
trouble break out in conjunction
with any attempt to reimpose
italian rule.
? If that happened. Britain's
whole Middle East position would
be weakened by ensuing political
repercussions in the Arab world.
! Behind the explosive Tripoli-
.tanian situation is the story Of q
prewar administration which
made Arabs little more than third
class citizens.
Arabs Are Bitter.
IT'D prefer an Israeli trustee
ship to the Italians-that's how
bad they were," said the Moslem
editor Of Tripoli's Arab news
paper.
Even q big percentage Of the
10000 Italians here fear reimposi-
ton Of Italian rule because they
believe Arabs might massacre
them before the Italians arrived.
Last spring. Foreign Minister
Ernest Bevin and Italian Foreign
Minister Carlo Sforza cooked UP
q plan to divide the former Ital-
ian colonies.
Tripolitania was to 60 TO italy.
British officials on the spot
