The self-government, which he has promoted in Lebannon, has worked out admirably, the commissioner said. The recent convention signed with By the Associated Press. GENEVA, June 17.-—Bennett . THE EVENING month did not constitute a real bom- bardment, but was only a necessary military action against bandits who had congregated on the outskirts of the city. The action took place only after all the inhabitants had been warned to take refuge within the French lines, he added. The commissioner asserted that progress in Syria was difficult,” be- cause every concession made by the French was regarded as a sign of weakness by the natives. He is con- vinced, however, thas with patience Syria would succeed in becomimy unified and eventually would be ready tn take a seat in the League of Na- tions ss an independent state.

When, therefore, the retail sales of General Motors cars in April of this year reached the unprecedented total of 136,643 cars, it was reasonable to assume that this would be the high mark, and that May would show a smaller total. But May, instead of registering a decline, leaped ahead of April with sales to the public of 141,651 cars. What do these mounting records indicate? First, that general business conditions are fundamentally sound. The increases in General Motors’ sales are not sec- tional, nor limited to certain territories. They are nation- wide; indeed, world-wide. Second, a growing public recognition of these four General Motors principles: (1) Quality first and foremost. (2) The economies of a big organization passed on to the purchaser. (3) Low finance charges and fair terms. (4) Performance, appearance, comfort and safety, combined to give maximum value in each price class.
