WILSON CONSIDERS
ARMENIA MANDATE
Allied Proposal Received, But
President Has Not Reached :
~ Decision On II. :

Peration to the allied proposal that
the United States accept a mandate
over Armenia, but has not reached
any decision. il was stated at the
White House today.
Secretary Tumulty had long con-
ference with the President and laid
before the Chief Executive all data
available on Armenia.
Officials here were surprised today
by press reports that the supreme
council at San Reno IS sending a
formal request to President Wilson
that the United States accept the
mandate.
The United States has previously
indicated that it does not care to take
such a mandate, it was pointed out.
and with the treaty still unratified
and strong opposition in Congress TO
the maintenance of American forces
abroad there is little likelihood that
the reported proposal from the su.
preme council will meet with accept.
ance here.
The league Of nations contemplates
mandates, but does not make them
compulsory and the United States
could not accept n mandate for Ar
menia without action by the Senate,
IL was officially stated this afternoon
Officials took the view that with the
league of nations still unratined the
United States could not be expected
to accept a mandate for Armenia.
The report OF Major General Har.
bord on the demands of a mandate
over Armenia did not cause a great
deal of enthusiasm in Congress. This
report showed that a mandate over
Armenia would cost several millions
OF dollars n year and would necessi-
tate American forces of $4,000 being
! stationed in Armenia. Under such
! conditions there is grave doubt
| whether Congress would make the
necessary appropriation, even IL the
President asked II.
One high official significantly point
ed out that n mandate over Armenia
is a matter of expenditure, while some
OF the other mandates that have been
accepted by foreign powers bring re-
turns through control over large sup
plies OF natural resources.

President Wilson, it is understood

all good Democrats are free to do as
they please regarding running for
the Presidential nomination at San

emphatic in stating it as their belief
that he has absolutely no such inten-
