WOULD EJECT TURKS
FROM CONSTANTINOPLE
But the French Government Does Not
Know How Unless Through En-
ployment of a Large Force.

Paris. March 30.-It was said at the
foreign office to-day that the French
point of view regarding Turkey and
Armenia is in agreement with that of
President Wilson as to the desirability
of the largest possible Armenian state
and the expulsion of the Turks from
Constantinople. The question is raised,
however, as to how these ends can be
achieved without the force necessary to
deal with the trouble certain to result
among the Musselman population.
president Wilson's note on the
Turkish question was delivered to Pre-.
mier Millerand by Ambassador Wal.
lace during the session of the council
of ambassadors in Paris yesterday aft
ernoon.l
1t would require a force of several
hundred thousand men to support de-
cision to eject the Turks entirely from
Europe, high official said. He pointed
out that the league of nations, to which
would naturally fall the obligation of
dealing with the situation created by
such action, has no force at its COM
mand.
France, already accused OF militar
ism, was unable to enlarge its army
and could not spare additional men
from its present force for the occupa-
ton of Asia Minor, the official contin-
ued. Neither were the British able to
furnish the required troops, he said
The establishment of an Armenian
state of large dimensions also would
involve the necessity of a military
force TO protect it, from the French
point of view, as in great portion of
the new state the Armenians would be
in the minority and exposed to the
hatred Of their enemies, which would
be increased by the detachment Of the
country from the Turkish empire. This
task, ii was declared at the foreign of
fee, always had been considered the
great humanitarian task for President
Wilson to perform. The question was,
it was added. whether he was ready TO
furnish the required force.
