The dissolution OF the Ottoman En-

We are convinced that the participa-

bringing about a solution OF the near

Armenian territory IN Turkey IN

non-Turkish elements i3 per cent.
lt was with view 10 modifying this
proportion Of numbers that the Turk

statesmen thought they were getting

The Armenians are entitled, accord

to a territory covering $4,000 square
miles, extending from the gulf OF Alex

in medieval times. TO the Russo-Per-
sian frontier.
A slice OF land on the Black Sea
should be made a part OF Armenia.
This would leave a territory or 250.0OO
square miles in Anatolia for the future
Turkish state. which win contain. what
remains OF the Turkish element, aggre-
eating about four millions Of people.
10 Is but fair that a one and indlvisible
Armenia. including Russian, Turkish
and Persian Armenia, should be consti-
tuted as one independent State. There
are f,s56000 Armenians in the Trans
caucasus bordering Turkish Armenia,
and almost as many in Persia.
The state thus created should become
the cornerstone OF a lasting peace in
the Near East with a population OF
100000 Armenians and from 100000
to 100000 nOn-Armenians.
