MIDDLE

The declaration of Gen- eral Catroux in the name of Free France, pledging Syria her independence and freedom, supported by the proclamation of the British Government guaranteeing that pledge, has distinctly heartened the Arabs of the Middle East.

On the other hand; the fact that Syria had been forced to become a battle- ground grieved fellow Arabs.

The Iraqi, who endured a month of fighting in their own territory on a much smaller scale than in Syria, know to their cost the suffer- ing which war brings in its wake.

Syria will benefit by the victory of the Allies, not only politically but also economic- ally.

As is well known, the coun- try had been heavily hit by the British blockade and her economic life was virtually at a standstill. The re-establish- ment of commercial relations with her neighbours and the outside world will bring about her immediate revival.

She will certainly benefit by joining the bloc of other Arab countries who stand by Britain and thug will be able to re-build her future.

Honour Is Restored

The pledge given to the Syrians by the Free French lenders, Generals de Gaulle and Catroux, has helped Free France to regain a great deal of the prestige lost by France in Arab countries.

This loss of prestige was due not only to the collapse of France last year, but also to her policy in Syria in the years immediately preceding the present war.

When in September 1936 the Franco-Syrian Treaty was concluded in Paris and accord- ed Syrian independence on the same basis as the Anglo- Iraqi Treaty of 1980, every Arab rejoiced to see that the fifteen-year-old quarrel be- tween France and the Syrians' was finally ended.

France as a Muslim power, governing millions of Arabs, possessed great prestige in Arab eyes. As with most other nations, the Arabs felt strong sympathy with France in her difficulties..

a

Nevertheless, the breach of faith and, even worse, the re- pudiation of the signatures given by those, samo people. who now rule In Vichy, has embittered many an Arab and made enemies of those who were formerly the staunchest friends of France, It was therefore with great satisfac- tion that the Arab world learned that. tho Free France of General de Gaulle does not intend to follow the footsteps of Vichy.

The only possible means of restoring the prestige of France by honouring the pro- mise given by her govern- monts at varying intervals during the last twenty years have now been taken.

Before the 1914-1918 War, Frafice was considered in the same degree as Great Britain as the protector of the Arabs of the Levant. It was in Paris as far back as 1905 that the first-association fork

From A Baghdad Correspondent

an. "Arab Fatherland" was created. It was also in Paris that the first Arab Congress "to study ways and means for the formation of an indepen- dent Arab State" took place in June 1918,

When the last war broke out every Arab staunchly be- lieved that, out of an Allied victory, complete Arab inde- pendence would 'come.

In 1915 many Arabs were sentenced to death as the re- sult of the discovery at the French Consulate of docu- ments proving their collabora- tion with France. The Arab patriots nevertheless tinued to help the French to the end,

The first clash after the. last war came between King Feisal and General. Gouraud."

After the unhappy revolt of 1926, which brought the grievances between the French and the Syrians to their climax, a moment of

hope came with the arrival in 1926 of the first civilian High Commissioner in the person of M. Henri de Jouvenal. He saw immediately that. spite of all that had happened, there still existed a strong sympathy for France.

in

That sympathy could be rekindled provided that the Mandatory Power satisfied the legitimate demands of the Syrians.

M. de Jouvenal therefore made the first suggestion of a Franco-Syrian Treaty, fos- tering a permanent peace in the country by the granting of "national independence" with France remaining there- after only as a "counsellor and guide on the road of modern progress."

This idea was taken up by almost all French Govern- ments until 1936, when, after renowod troubles, a Treaty on the model of the Anglo-Iraqi

Treaty was concluded and Syria was at last to become an "independent and sovereign stato." She was to enter as a free member of the League of Nations at the end of 1989.

The Arab world was de- lighted at this understanding and France was hailed as the great Muslim Power.

Unfortunately, 'Intrigues of a personal character inter- vened.

Men of the type of M. Henri Haye, tho present Am- bassador of Vichy in Washing- ton and at that time Rap- porteur of the Franco-Syrian Treaty in the French Senate, and M. Georges Bonnet, then Minister of Foreign Affairs for France, denied in Decem- ber 1939 the guarantee given earlier that the Treaty would be ratified not later than January 31, 1939.

Unhappy Betrayal

Thus Syria entered the war still under the Mandate of France and trammelled by her sad destiny.

After the French collapse of inst June, many Syrinns would have liked the assur- ance provided by an im- mediate British occupation of their country.
