add to cart   close window

The Progres Civique (Paris, France) for September 3, printed, under the caption Thus They Make France Loved in Syria, states that late in June an attempt was made to assassinate General Gouraud [commander of the French troops in Syria]. The Progres Civique comments that "We have always declared that the maintenance of a French Expeditionary Corps in Syria, apart from the fact that in foreign eyes it justified to a degree the charge of French imperialism, would end in destroying our secular influence in the Levant."
