...destiny. That this destiny was important to its neighbors as well as . the Sanjak, was plain last week. Turkish soldiers were reported concentrating on the northern border and French Foreign Legionnaires enforced martial law in Alexandretta and Antioch. Riots had broken out between tarbooshed, orthodox Moslem Arabs and European-hatted, free-thinking Turks...
...dreams of a great unified, Arab Near Eastern State-so carefully fostered by Great Britain's warrior-statesmen in 1914-18-were wrecked in the subsequent peace treaties by European "divide-&-rule" policies.

Awarded the only knockout (technical) of the evening, Kolczynski simply shrugged his shoulders. He had knocked out 37 of his 65 previous opponents, had beaten the champions of Norway, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Denmark, Finland and Eire...
