PROTEST IN EGYPT
FREE FRENCHMEN
CESSION OF AERODROMES IN
SYRIA
LONDON, May 19. The Cairo correspondent of the independent French news agency says that the National Committee of Frenchmen in Egypt has drawn up a declaration in which it protests against the cession of Syrian aerodromes to Germany. The declaration says: "The committee emphatically denounces the hypocritical, underhand character of the concession, which; by creating a new menace to the valiant Imperial troops in the Middle • East, may oblige our ally to take legitimate measures of defence. We know that in protesting against this last particularly odious abdication we are acting as the mouthpiece of all the French in the homeland who are obliged to keep silence." —U.P.A.
