Government Circles Stirred over
News That Supreme Council Of
fers Armenian Mandate to the
United States.
BELIEVED 1T PLAIN
U. S. DIDN'T WANT 1T
Congress Said to Be Against Move;
Report That Big Appropriations
Be Necessary Strengthens All
Opposition.
By United Press.

By United Press.
Washington, April 26.- Reports
that supreme council has decided to
offer the Armenian mandate to the
United States and to ask President
Wilson to fix the boundaries Of that
newly recognized nation were re
ceived with surprise in government
circles here
Officials thought that it had been
made clear to the allies by hints and
otherwise that there was no chance
of this country taking the Armenian
mandate.
Congress is beleved to be almost
unanimously opposed to the project,
especially since the report that large
appropriations will be necessary to
accomplish the mandate.
Terms 70 Mandate.
The terms of the mandate protect
the national rights Of jewish citizens
of other countries, that is to say,
Jew of American, British, French or
other nationality may retain his ma
tionality, although he is also citi-
zen Of the state of Palestine
The rights of Arabs also are pro
tected, there being 100000 in Pales
tine and 100000 Jews.
The mandate is. limited generally
by what is known as the Balfour de-
claration. British forces have been
in occupation of Palestine since the
defeat of the Turkish forces by the
British field marshal, Yiscount Allen
by.
France has been the protector of
the Christians in Syria since the
middle ages, having been designated
for the purpose by the Holy See,
The question with regard to Syria
has been in serious controversy be-
tween the French and British gov
ernments since the armistice was
signed, particularly over the point
whether France should have all of
what is geographically outlined as
Syria, or only certain parts.
