IRAQ MASSACRE
ASSYRIANS' DEMANDS. DESIRE TO LIVE TOGETHER. LONDON, August 17. The ‘‘Manchester Guardian,” referring to the Assyrian massacre says that there are about 40,000 Assyrians, half of whom are homeless, and others scattered about in temporary villages in the arid mountains north of Mosul. They were bitterly disappointed when Geneva failed to safeguard them as a commum ity when Iraq was given independence. The crux of the matter is that the Assyrians want an assurance that they will be allowed to live together for their own protection, and ruled by their own archbishop, whereupon they will lay down arms and swear loyalty to King Feisal, but the Iraq Government demands their submission upon whatever conditions the Government might impose.
