1939’*

(Translation)

Third Quartier of 1939 •

I , General Situation.

The purchase ol the estates of Sheikh Aissa Sleiman (end of April 1939) was followed 3 during the third quarter of 1 9 3 9 ) by the purchase of enclaves in the possession of various Bedouin Arabs in the- district, and by the end of the quarter, between Tell-Tamer and Tell-Hormiz (southern village) all of these enclaves had been bought. Between Tell-Tamer and Tell- Omrafa (northern village) a few unimportant little enclaves are still in the hands of the Arabs (see annexed plan No.I-VII)

The effect of the purchase of theso various plots was to relieve congestion in the large villages of Tell-Tamer and Tell-Maghass, and to regroup the Bas, Shemsidin, Jilou and Kotchanis tribes, which were formerly distributed among several villages ; and while the four big northern villages (Tkhcuma and Diz tribes) were being settled in their new villages in the south, the Baz, Shemsj din, Jilous and Kotchanis settled in at once in the newly purchased enclaves„

By October 1st. 1939 > ^ ie four northern villages of Tell-Cheme (Tkhoumas), Teli-Gmrane (Tkhoumas), Tell-Atchache (Tkhoumas) and Tell-Assafir (Dizs) were completely evacuated.

By that date also the clearing of congestion in Tell- Tamer by the removal of Baz and Shemsidin tribes, in Tell-Magha by the removal of the Shemsidin and Jilou tribes and in Tell- Talaa and Tell-Haf ian - villages possessing little land com­pared with the size of their population - was nearly complete,

Thus, the Assyrian settlement on the Khabur to-day comprises thirty-one villages,

The Tkroumas, previously grouped in three villages, are now settled in ten villages„ '

* For the previous report see document C/Min.Ass./29O ,

- 2 -

The Biz form two small villages.The Baz form two small villages.The Jilou form two small villages.The Kotchani form two small villages.

The Shemsidin, who preferred to remain together, form one village.

The erection of huts and the removal of the Assyrians to their new villages were actively carried on, and there is every reason to hope that every family will be settled in its new hut by the end of the year.

The land between the several villages has been de­limited ,

Simultaneously with this actual settling in, the threshing of the winter harvest proceeded, along with the work on the plantations, the irrigation of summer crops and the tending of vegetable gardens.

Any labour available was much in demand and was immediately absorbed in the Djezireh for harvest work and brick-making. Average daily wage : 1 Libano-Syrian pound.

In addition to the work of installation, the Trustee Board made itself responsible, with the help of specialised workers, for the reconstruction in cemented masonry of all noria pillars and the building of new pillars and new norias.

By the end of the quarter, 64 wooden norias with masonry pillars had been completely rebuilt or reconditioned. All the masonry pillars will be completed by the first rains (November), but 8 norias which can be made in winter and put up early in the spring of 194° (March) will still have to be constructed, as well as 2 iron norias.

At the hospital of Tell-Tamer an outer wall has beenconstructed enclosing the property.

Work has been started on 8 schools, which it is hoped may be completed by November 1st, in the following vill­ages : Tell-Tamer, Tell-Nasri, Tell-Chamran, Tell-Massas, Tell- Rouman-Tahtani, Biridjaye, Tell-Sakra, Tell-Hormiz.

The Tell-Omrane iron hangar is being re-erected near the Tell-Maghass mill, between the villages of Tell-Maghess and Tell-Massas.

Every village situated on the right bank of the Khabur or possessing land on that bank has been providedwith a steel-cable ferry. There are 14 of these ferries.

During the dry season, the Tell-Tamer ferry can be converted into a raft capable of carrying a load of 3 tons,

The Assyrian colony was provided, during the quarter under review, with 50 new four-wheeled carts , which brings the number distributed up to a total of 157 > or an average of 1 cart per 55 persons.

- 3 -

100 new ploughs now in process of manufacture, willbe distributed'by October 15th, bringing the total up to 5 5 3.

3 smaM "Bernard" motor-pump sets were ordered in F r a n c e in August, in order that each little village might have its own motor pump. Owing to recent events, these have not yet been delivered.

When the new machinery has been distributed, tte figures for the mochanical means of irrigation available will be as follows:

II, Political Situation.

The appointment of a French delegate as Fohafez in the Djezireh has put an end to the uncertain policy prevailing during the last few quarters and has reassured all the minor­ities, the Assyrians in particular.

The latter were not disturbed by the declaration of war and have gone about their work as usual.

The Mar-Shimun, the Assyrian Patriarch, addressed to his flock on the Khabur in July a circular letter asking them to send a mazbata to the High Commissioner to facilitate his visit to Syria. The first effect of this circular was to divide the Assyrians into two groups about equal in size: thefaithful supporters of the Mar-Shimun and those who have virtually ceased to believe in his temporal, or even in his' spiritual, authority.

III, Public Order.

There was no disturbance of public order during the quarter under review. No cases of theft or robbery were reported.

It must regretfully be stated that two murders were committed among Assyrians in the villages of Tell-Om-Keff and Tell-Massas, for quite trivial reasons. These crimes, however, did not have, the effect of disturbing public order in the settlement.

V . - Agricultural Situation.•

The end of the harvest and threshing of the grain formed the chief occupation during the period under review.The general yield confirms the estimate at the end of June,•which was mentioned in the report for the preceding quarter .

The Assyrians have, however, been advised to change their seed for future sowings and also to extend the area under barley so as to embrace all land in which watering is a difficulty.

The summer crops (maize, millet, hemp, sesame), though not very extensive, gave a good yield.

The yield from vegetable gardens (aubergines, tomatoes, onions, cabbages, various vegetables, melons, water-melons, etc.) has also been satisfactory.

It is the vine, however, that appears to be essentially adapted to the Khabur soil, giving quite unhoped-for results.The year’s vintage was wonderful.

Livestock has benefited by good pasturage and is thus In excellent condition at the present date. The milk yield has been normal.

V I . - Health Situation.

The health situation continues to improve by comparison with previous years, and there has been much less malaria.Below will be found a comparative table, 1937-1939* for the Tkhouma tribe (the most seriously affected), which formerly occupied the northern villages now evacuated.

Quarterly Report of the Trustee Board on the Settlement of the Assyrians on the Khabur, together with a summary of the Medical Reports for the fourth quarter of 1939* and the Report on the autumn sowings in 1939•

Fourth Quarter of 1959.

I . General Situation.

While the evacuation of the 4 North villages was accomplished at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the relief of the congestion in the big villages of Tell-Tamer, Tell-Maghass, and Tftl-Hafian still remained to be completed.

The purchase of various enclaves both on the right and left banks of the Khabur enabled great activity to be displayed at the beginning of the quarter in order to terminate the building of the cupolas before the first autumn rains, which fell on November 8th.

The Assyrian Colony on the Khabur at the end of 1939 thus consisted of 31 small villages and the following number of cupolas :

V , Agricultural situation.

Nothing special to report.

The autumn ploughing and sowing "began on November 12th, after the first rains had softened the ground.

The sowing began late, and is being very actively carried on, but will scarcely be finished in some villages before January 15th.

Considerable areas were cleared, and the area sown in 1939-40 promises to be greater than that in the previous year.

(A general statement will be produced at the end of the work.)

Barley-growing has been more particularly extended, and the germination, which is favoured by intermittent rain promises to be very favourable.

Cattle,

In very good condition.

No epizootic disease to report; the pasturage at the end of the year was very advanced for the season, and promises well for the spring,

Lambing and kidding are taking place under normal conditions,
