GREY MAKES POSITION CLEAR
Americas Attitude on League Outlined
By DIPLOMAT

London.-It is evident from the tone
of editorial comment on Viscount
Greys recent estimate of America s
position on the League of Nations that
it set forth conditions little understood
before Viscount Grey's statement de-
clared the hesitation of the United
States in accepting the League of Ma
tiOns is not due to hostility to the
principle, but to constitutional Ques-
tions and caution as to the possible
effects of entering the League.
With the situation clearly explained
by such an authority newspapers here
seem willing to give the United States
the benefit of the argument that she is
unwilling TO make a radical departure
from her former policy without due
consideration. The letter is viewed as
a powerful appeal to America to enter
the League.

hundreds of thousands of the peorse
in that part Of the world from death
by hunger and cold and is soon to open
q nation wide campaign for funds to
complete the work of saving the sur
vivors, more than q half million of
whom mut perish unless aid comes to
them soon. America is their only hope.
General AZgapetian served CALAMITY

against the Turks. His wife, who ac-
companied him to the front, did noble
work for the Waundenr and sick, and
It was while in this service that her
baby was born in hospital tent during
battle. An army blanket swung from
two poles in one corner of the tent was
the baby's crib during the rest of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse of the Russian armies after
the BOlShevist revolution the AZgape-
tans returned to Armenia for brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand.
But with Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with
his family through Russia to Finland
and then to this country. What they
tell of conditions and needs in Armenia
is first hand evidence.
In the Caucasus, Armenia, Syria,
Turkey and Persia are more than ESQ.,,
900 orphans, helpless little victims Of
war, massacre and deportation, and
for the great majority the only bar be-
tween them and absolute starvation
is a bowl Of hot bean soup every dag.
This soup is supplied by the Near East
Relief now making an appeal to
the American people for sufficient
funds to increase this dole and to pro-
vide these suffering little ones with
clothing and give them an education
that will help them to become self sup
porting. 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 in Western Asia will
die OF starvation unless American aid
Is continued.
