 ID MANDATE PLAN
Democrats, However, Would Extend Aid In Upbuilding of the Republic of
 Armenia
By Associated Press

Washington, May 29.-President Wilson's request that Congress au thorize a mandate over Armenia came under fire from both democrats and republicans today when the resolution to deny such an authorization was brought up in the Senate.
 From the democratic side, however. came proposal to soften the resolu- ton by adding provision extending American aid in the economic upbuild- ing of the near eastern republic. The plan was taken under advisement by the republican leaders. In order that senators might have an opportunity to study it, an agreement was made to defer until Monday any attempt to set a date for vote.
 Under the suggested provision. which was presented by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska the administration leader in the treaty fight. joint commits sion of Americans and Arnenians would be authorized to supervise the sale here of $50,0oo,o00 in Armenian bonds. The proceeds would go to the purchase of railroad and agricultural materials and similar equipment and to the establishment of an Armenian banking system.

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. the republican leader. said that proposals to aid Armenia would be received with such sympathy on his side of the chamber but added that there were many ways in which aid could be ex- tended.
 There was only a brief discussion of the merits of the Presidents request which Senator Hitchcock said he did not intend to support. Several other democratic senators also indicated their disapproval but Senator Williams democrat, Mississippi, declared the United States would be unfaithful to
