 It is the obvious duty of Great
 Britain, which country conducted the
 campaign in that section and which
 has its troops still on the ground,
 to see that those it has rescued should
 be properly protected. and that pro-
 lection should be maintained until such arrangements are made for permanent policing of Armenia and other portions of Turkey. It is there fore a welcome announcement which comes by way of Paris to the effect that though the announcement had been made the British forces are not to be withdrawn.
 What ridiculous situation there would have been presented had the British, who went into Turkey for the purpose of striking at the enemy but also to give relief to the oppressed people under Turkish rule. retired from the country with the task com pleted as far as subduing Turkey but with the job only partially finished relative to the safeguarding of the Arnenians and Syrians. Europe may want this country to undertake that work There is certain amount of satisfs ction in knowing that sufficient confidence is placed in us to swing it but the allied nations in Europe are able to assume tho responsibility and being at Europe's door it is the log ical thing that one of those countries, or all of them united should meet the situation. But until that is deter mined 1t would simply be aiding and a betting massacres to abandon Ar menia in it's present condition.
