UNITED STATES PICKED
AS AItNENiA'S GUARDIAN

Geneva, Nov. 26 (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )-That the United
States would be the best nation to
accept the mandate for Armenia is
the opinion of Lord Robert Cecil,
who is acting as one of South Af-
rica'S delegates to the league of
nations assembly, as expressed to
the American newspaper corre-
spondents tonight. The United
States, he added, probably would
have more influence with Musta-
pha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish ma
tionalist leader, who is conducting
campaign against the Armen-
ians, than any other nation.
Lord Robert said $20,O00,000
would supply the necessary mill
tary assistance to put Armenia on
her feet.
II have been advised by very
good opinion" he declared, that
a good deal could be done to save
Armenia with the expenditure OF
that amount. We have appealed
to many states and organizat tions
but so far we have had nothing
SoS o'36tolioiiS'
II think the United States would
be the best country to solve the
Armenian question, inasmuch as
that country would have the most
influence with Mustapha Kemal
Pasha. Twenty million dollars
would enable US to organize the
military expedition necessary to es-
tablish Armenian Independence.
The money could be regarded as
a loan to the Armenian state, which
would be repaid if the Armenian
economic position were estah-
lished,"
While refusing to name the num-
Der of troops necessary. Lord Rob-
ert stated it would be quite easy to
obtain a volunteer force composed
of Armenians and the nationals of
neighboring states.
"The Armenian question" he ex-
planned, resolves itself largely into
whether there is any government
or people in the world caring
enough about Armenia to furnish
the necessary money for the work"
The South African delegate
avoided the question Of possible
revision of the Turkish treaty as a
means for serving Armenia. He

STEEL PRICES ARE REDUCED OR
WILL BE LOWERED TO THE Level
OF MARCH, 1919, OFFICERS SAY
Bars, Plates and Structural Shapes Affected
By the Slash; No Reduction in Wages Is
Contemplated Immediately, But Is Regard

burSh. Adjustme in prices of
wire and cold rolled steel are to
follow.
No reduction in wages is contem-
plated Immediately, according to
the best information obtainable. 1t
was freely predicted by steel Off
cials, however, that wage reduc-
tion is inevitable within the next
few weeks.
The new selling prices are not
comparative with previous prices
on any fixed basiA as some of the
Independents have been asking as
high as 81 for bars. plates and
shapes, it was reported, and others
have been receiving more con-
servative prices, ranging between
So and S325,
The general feeling throughout
the trade here is one of satisfac-
tion at the decision to reduce prices
to the same level as the steel cor
poration which has not asked
prices above those fixed by the in
dustrial board.
1t is believed here that the i'm
mediate result will be to stabilize
the steel market and the move to-
day is the beginning of the read
jdstment in the steel trade. The
sentiment here seemed to be that
the bottom level of prices has been
reached and that as soon as wages
and other costs are lowered the in
dustry will move forward into a
new period of prosperity based on
the requirements of the building
trade, the rehabilitation of the
railroads and export business to
European countries and the Orient.
A feature of the situation is the
continued steady demand for. steel
pipe and tubular goods, steel Of
ficials said, for which there is
heavy buying in the oil industry
and also in the building trades. A
firm demand for these, II was said,
and for certain wire products. not
ably nails, has resulted in the price
of these commodities not being re-
dueed to the industrial boards

not been abandoned but will be
carried on to success by an eastern
company--minus the services of
MIR Wilfong, who is said to be no
longer interested in or connected
with the development in the canon.
Then He Took Up Oil.
More recently with the spread
of the oil fever, Mr.. Wilfong be-
came a leading figure in these
parts in the promotion of oil COM
panes. So one morning the word
went round that Burkburnett-
Ranger -Tularosa Basin Oil COM
pany was an assured fact. The
company was capitalized for $780,
600 1t was intimated that one
could not fail to attain wealth
should one become stockholder.
However, the local public was
unresponsive and little if any stock
is held here. The stockholders are
said to be principally in the east.
Later Mr.. Wilfong organized the
Ranger and Desdemona Oil COM
pany, capitalized at $3.50. 900. None
of this stock was sold in this city,
it is said. and less than 800 worth
in the state, it is said. The total
amount of stock sold is unknown.
No Gushers Yet.
Neither of these companies has
paid dividends and neither has un-
dertaken any development, ac-
cording to George Geake of Albu-I
querque.
A large, expensive automobile
figured in one trapsaction here in
connection with Mr.. Wilfong's me-
teoric career. He had not paid in
full for the car-in fact 1t is said
that he made only a comparatively
small payment. When he left the
car was attached. Later his former
chauffeur sought to attach the car
for back wages. But the first
claim went to the local automo-
bile firm.
