like to sec a mandatory of the United
States for Turkey, too. 1t is high
time for the christian church of
America to take its stand and realize

should stress this mandatory. More
people will die of hunger in the near
East this winter than died in all the
war There are today 100000 little
christian children in Turkey. The
United States can take them or leave
them. Which will you do?
