sion, headed by Major General HarbOrd,
which Investigated conditions in Ar
menia. The report had twice been
asked for by the senate, first last NO
vember and then under resolution
adopted several weeks ago.
The commission made no recommen-
datiOns rs to the United States assum-
ing mandate over Turkey and Ar
menia, but it's report contained extern
sive arguments for and against such
action.
No mandate should be taken, the
commission said, without formal agree
ment with France and Great Britain
and also definite approval" of Ger
many and Russia. The inhabitants the
mission stated, desire America to take
the mandate first, with Great Britain
their second choice.
The principal arguments advanced in
favor Of the United States accepting
a mandate were that the influence Of
the United States would tend to avert
wars; that the inhabitants wanted
American protection, and that this
would give the United States an op-
portunity to do great humanitarian
work.
Reasons advanced against a mandate
were that it would weaken our posi-
ton relative to the Monroe doctrine" /;
that ''humanitarianism begins at
home" and that the first years cost
would be $275, 100000, including $685.
100000 for the army and navy. "Bet-
ter millions for mandate than billions
for war;" said the recommendations
favoring a mandate.
