Against Syrian Congress in Geneva . - On Oct. 5, from his home in Deir Qannobin (25 km. In a straight line SE of Tripoli in Syria), the Maronite Patriarch Huwayyek Peter Elias has directed the General Gouraud, High Commissioner (mufawwad Sami ) in France for Syria, a protest against the Congress Siriamo Geneva, which is reported in full in the Arab newspaper al-Arz Beirut, October 19. He denies the party that issued the Congress, the right to speak for the Lebanon front alla Società delle Nazioni , tanto più che il partito del Congresso parla di annettere il Libano alla Siria e di togliere il Mandato francese.
Ciò, dice il Patriarca, è contrario ai voti dei Libanesi; voti ch’egli era stato incaricato di presentare al Congresso della Pace. A nome dei Libanesi egli ripete che questi vogliono l’indipendenza del «Grande Libano» (Lubnan al-Kabir) [dalla Siria], proclamata dallo stesso generale Gouraud , ed il Mandato francese ch’essi hanno scelto liberamente. Invita il Generale a far pervenire questa protesta alla Società delle Nazioni .
The newspaper al-Arz , the number of October 18, reports the telegram, that the Prince Mishal Lutfallah , president of the Congress, directed to the October 13th Party Central Committee (Alexandria) , saying he was saddened the protests of some of his compatriots, who deny the quality of their representative. He adds: "I regret their haste, since we do not speak for them, we do not speak on behalf of those seeking the mandate for their country, but on behalf of the Syrian parties acting for the independence of their country without a warrant. We were not a delegation, but a Congress that represented these parties of independence. "
