Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts, the
Republican leader, replied that pro-
posas to aid Armenia would be re-
ceived with much sympathy on his side
of the chamber, but added that there
were many ways in which aid could be
extended.
There was only brief discussion Of
the merits of the Presidents request,
which Senator Hitchcock said he did
not intend to support. Several other
Democratic Senator'S also indicated
thoir disapproval, but Senator Will
inms, Democrat. Of Mississippi, dc
clared the United States would be un-
faithful to it's Responsibilities if it de-
ciined 10 make the mandate.
Senator'S Jones, of New Mexico, and
Robinson, of Arkansas, Democrats, said
the resolution involved an important
question, and a vote should not be
taken without giving it serious consid-
Grafton. The former called attention to
the fact that the committee had pre-
scnted no written report.
Senator Lodge replied that the mat
ter had been considered for months
and added that only lack Of time and
a belief that the reasons for REFUSING
mandate were so plain "a child could
understand them" were responsible for
the absence Of a formal report.

Republicans to-day when the rcsou-
tion to deny such an authorization was
brought up in the Senate.
From the Democratic side, however,
came a proposal to soften the resou-
tion by adding a provision extending
American MD in the economic upbuid-
ing of the new Near Eastern republic
The plan was taken under advsement
by the Republican leaders. In order
that Senators might have an oppor-
tunty to study it an agreement was
made to defer until Monday any at.
tempt to set date for vote.
Under the suggested provision, which
was presented by Senator Hitchcock, Of
Nebraska, the Administration leader in
the treaty fight, . joint commission Of
Americans and Armenians would be
authorized to supervise the sale here
Of $50, 100000 in Armenian bonds. The
proceeds would go to the purchase Of
railroad and agricultural materials and
similar equipment, and to the estab-
lishmcnt of an Armenian banking svs-
tenn.
Many Ways to Aid
In urging his proposal Senator Hitch
cock said he felt that the resolution
as reported by the Foreign Relations
Committee would have the effect of
"discouraging' the Armenian people.
