Abstract

The French View on Syria
Clark, Michael | June 30, 1945 issue

add to cart   close window

The expulsion of the French from Syria, apparently completed last week has provoked here the profoundest distress. Nobody questions the real meaning of the events in the Levant. The operation carried out under British auspices is seen as designed to liquidate the position of France in the Middle East and compromise it seriously everywhere, particularly in. North Africa and the Far East. The weakened French feel they are being forced to yield to the higher interest and superior force of Anglo-American expansion--the new positions must be occupied fast to forestall the possible designs of Russian expansion.
