AGREEMENT ON SYRIA
BRITAIN AND FRANCE EVACUATION OF TROOPS LONDON, Dec. 13. A Franco-British agreement on Syria, Lebanon, and the Vear East was signed in London to-day. It provides for joint consultation and agreement on the conditions for regrouping and evacuating British and French troops from Syria. The agreement also provides for the closest alignment of British and French policy in the Near East with the object of permanently eliminating all differences of policy calculated to harm French or British interests in the Near East. Announcing the agreement, Mr Bevin said the British and French military experts would meet at Beirut on December 21 to fix the date for the evacuation of troops in the Levant zone. *The British and French Governments recognised that it was in their interests to encourage within the framework of international collaboration the economic well-being and security of the peoples of the Middle East.
