Mandate for Armenia.
| We condemn President Wilson for AZ.
| ing congress to empower him to aecsa,
a mandate for Armenia. We commend
| the Republican senate for refusing ,hs
presidents request to empower him m
| accept a mandate for Armenia TIA
| acceptance of such mandate would throw
| the United States into the very masI.
| strom of European quarrels. Accordms
to the estimate of the Harbord comms
| sion organized by authority of President
! Wilson. we would be called upon to send
| 5000 American boys to police Armenia
| and to expend $276, 100000 in the first year
and S756, 600 900 in five years. This es.
innate is made upon the basis that We
would have only rowing bands to fight
but in case of serious trouble with the
| Turks or with Russia, force exceed
| ing 100000 would be necessary.
Disregard of Life Claimed,
No more striking illustration can b.,
! found of President Wilson's disregard
| of the lives of American boys or Of
American interests.
| We deeply sympathize with the pso-
| pie of Armenia and stand ready to help
| them in all proper ways, but the Re-
publican party will oppose now and here
after the acceptance of mandate for
any country in Europe or Asia
