Hylan Blames School
Politicians for Delay
Teachers Would Have Received
Increases if City Had Been
Left Alone. He Says

t'If the Board of Estimate had it's
way we would long since have worked
out plan by which we would have
given tho over-supervised teachers I'M
mediate and substantial increases
Mayor Hylan told 1900 persons in the
Bushwick High School, Brooklyn, yes
tcrday.
"Tho school politicians, however,
continued Mr.. Hylan, "have caused
their followers to ignore the municipal
authorities, with the result that the
legislation enacted generally proved
profitable only to the few higher up
in the school system who were already
highly paid"
In describing the Lockwood -Donohue
bill, raising the pay of teachers, the
Mayor said he was making the ex-
planation so that the rent payer would
understand that while he was endeavor-
ing to stop gouging landlords from
raising rents, mandatory legislation
was being passed in Albany which placed
millions of dollars in taxes on the
backs of the property owner and rent
payer of the city.
He said that he hoped before any
more mandatory legislation was passed
that a thorough investigation of the
school system in the state would be
made, and that report would be re-
turned to the Legislature on the amount
of money spent for propaganda fol-
salary increases.

Lloyd George
Defends Turk
Peace Terms
Replying to Asquith, He
Declares Delay Was Due
% U. S. Hesitation Over
Accepting a Mandate
Gives Advice to Armenia
Says 1t Is Time She Defend
ed Herself; She Could
Raise Army of 4O,O 900

LONDON, March 25.- Replying to
criticism Of the governments foreign
policy by Herbert H. Asquith, member
Of the House for Paisley, Premier
Lloyd George this afternoon gave de-
tailed explanation of the Turkish set
tlement.
The Premier said it would have been
blunder to have settled the Turkish
problem without giving the United
States the most ample opportunity to
decide whether it would accept man.
date, because it would have given rise
to suspicious that Great Britain and
France were taking advantage of the
political dissensions in the United
States to divide the whole Of Turkey
between themselves.
"It was only when America definitely
refused the mandate that we proceeded
without her." Mr.. Lloyd George de-
clared.
Can't Send Army to Armenia
The Premier said the proposal to
oust the Sultan had been rejected as
inadequate, because it left the question
of the government of Constantinople
undecided, and the Allies were anxious
to avoid the expense and responsibility
of the administration of Constanti-
nople.
With regard to Armenia, the Premier
continued, France would have been
willing to hand Cilicia to the United
States if the latter had accepted the
mandate.
up to the present we have received
only requests from America to pro-
tect Armenia, without any offer to as
sumo responsibility" Mr.. Lloyd George
said. ave hope France will undertake
the responsibility, but it is much to
ask, considering all the burdens France
already has"
The Premier contended that it was
impossible for England to send armies
to keep order in Armenia and Asia
Minor England would do her utmost
to exert pressure in Constantinople to
obtain good treatment for Christians,
he asserted, but was unable to accept
wider responsibility.
Would Help Armenia to Arm
The Armenians are an exceptionally
intelligent people and must begin to de-
pend on themselves for the protection
Of their Independence, Mr.. Lloyd
George said, adding that he understood
they could easily raise an army of
10000 men Great Britain would be
willing to supply equipment and officers
for their training. If that were done
they could defend themselves against
the Turks, the Premier declared.
Referring to Central Europe, Mr..
Lloyd George sald
"If Germany would perform her part
of the treaty by volunteering to state
what amount of reparations she is able
to pay. and if she can prove the i'm
possibility Of paying unless she first
secures raw materials, do not believe
either Belgium or France will stand in
the way of her obtaining the necessary
credits. But there must be a definite
indication that she intends to discharge
her liabilities"
