The Syrian World Vol. 04 no. 01

Vol. 4 no. 01 of The Syrian World published September 1929. The issue begins with a chronological report of Salloum Mokarzel's (the editor's) trip abroad. This travel journal specifically details the journey to Syria. Following it is a riddle translated from Arabic by J.D. Carlyle titled Fire. Ameen Rihani has an article next that discusses mandates in the Near East, specifically a review of the First Decade of European Supervision over Iraq, Syria, and Palestine. Dr. Salim Y. Alkazin continues the issue with a poem titled Thwarted, which seems to discuss the loss of his beloved. Following it is a short story titled Isaf, by Labeebee A. J. Hanna, based on an Arabic legend. Both Thomas Asa and Alice McGeorge have poems featured next in the issue, followed by an account of the Palestine Riots by Salloum Mokarzel. The Palestine Riots were a major event concerning the dispute between Arabs and Jews over access to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The issue is concluded with excerpts from the Arab press, and more on the political developments in Syria.
