Thousands Face Famine In Syria Due To Revolt
In Syria the Druse revolt worsens an economic collapse as French forces struggle to maintain control. Balderston reports from Emirat on Beirut to Damascus routes, warning of a looming famine this winter and a rising Moslem resentment that could trigger a larger conflict if Paris cannot dispatch sufficient troops, planes, and tanks. The piece details French weaknesses, Druse maneuvers, and the fragile Beirut Damascus railway, with broader concerns of relief needs and regional instability.
