and Will Present Plea at

Members Of the Assyrian colonies in
many American cities have organized
the Assyrian National Association. with
headquarters at IS Park place, this city,
TO bring their claims for national recog-
milton before the Peace Conference at
Paris.
Assyrian colonies dot America from
Fresno. Cal, to fftchburg. Mass, with
large groups in New York. Chicago. Bos-
ton, Philadelphia. Detroit Gary, Eliza
beth and Paterson. These colonies
though the Assyrian National Associa-
ton have elected Joel (. Werda, presi-
dent of the association. and Capt A h.
Yoosuf. NJ u. OF the United States
Army. TO represent the Assyrian people.
In addition Assyrian delegates are COM
ing from Bagdad Mosul. Kurdistan and
Constant!nople TO meet in Paris soon.
The Assyrians sided with Great Brit
ain and the Allies from the beginning Of
the world war, and Assyrians say that
forces in kurdistan were won by As
syrian soldiers under the leadership OF
the Patriarch Mar Sh!mon.
The Assyrians want no Turkish or
Arab rule. Throughout the world the
Assyrian population numbers 100000
people, Within the borders OF what re-
mains OF the old fatherland. which orig
inally comprised approximately 100000
square miles OF territory. they claim now
about 900 or 50, 600 square miles. This
territory extends from the Persian from
tier in the east to the Euphrates IN the
west and from the Province OF Diarbek r
in the north Of the Province OF Mosul in
the south.
The Assyrians seek independence,
preferably under the proteccorate Of the
United States They hope for American
capital 10 develop their mineral re-
sources.
In case the United States does not
wish - give its protectorate 10 the New
AsSYr!a, the consensus OF opinion Of
Assyrians in America is that New Assy-
ria be under the protectorate OF the In
ternational Council: II not that then
under the protectOrate OF Great Britain.
Messrs. Werda and Yoosut will sail
within few days to meet the other
Assyrian delegates in Paris and TO pre-
Gent TO the Peace Conference what its
nationals have suffered in the way of

The Assyrians believe that as their
fatherlaud was the birthplace OF Chris
