No Mandate for Armenia.

There is NO prospect of approval
by Congress of the Presidents pro-
posal that the United States accept a
mandate for Armenia. Opposition to
that plan has been expressed by both
republican and democratic senator's on
the ground primarily that inasmueh
as the United States has not ratified
the treaty of peace or become a mem.
Der of the league of nations it can
not function under the terms of the
treaty and the league covenant. If
the United States accepted the Arme-
nian mandate it would be perform
ing as league member without hav-
ing qualified as such. .-=
Sympathy for Armenia is universal
ly felt. The United States has in the
past abundantly expressed and mani
Tested this sentiment. If there is any
one nation for which this country
would act as sponsor or as guardian,
or in any manner of aid it is Armenia,
But that sentiment cannot now be ex-
pressed in terms of acceptance of a
formal commission as mandatory for
which there is no provision in law
or in international agreement to which
this country has subscribed.
