MANDATE over
ARMENIA URGED
Wilson Asks Congress For
Authority To Accept
Tender Of Allies
BY James r. Nourse.

Washington, May 24-President
Wilson today sent a message to Con-
gress asking authority to accept on
behalf of the United States the man
date over Armenia which was tender
ed by the allied premiers in their con-
ference at San Reno.
The President asked for the man
date on the grounds of duty to the
Armenian people to assist them in
their struggles toward independence
He declared his belief that his actions
would be supported by the great ma
jority of the American people.
Acknowledging that his request
was laid before Congress Eat a very
critical time" the President asserted
that he. made the suggestion in the
confidence that he was speaking in
the spirit and in accordance with the
wishes of the greatest of the Chris
tian peoples" He appealed to Con-
gress not to turn away" from the in
vitation so formally and solemnly
extended to us by the council at San
Reno" but on the other hand to per-
NIT him to take over the mandate for
the protection of the Armenians
against the Turks.
Gets Chilly Reception.
Notwithstanding the confidence
with which the President expressed
his belief that the request for the
mandate would be acceptable to the
people of the United States, his mes
sage met with chilly reception in
both the Senate and House. 1t was
read in each house just before adj
journment and was referred to the
Foreign Affairs and Foreign Rela-
lions Committees without comment.
In the same message the President
notified Congress that he had decided
to accept the invitation rendered him
by the allied premiers to act as arbi-
traitor in fixing the boundary between
Turkey and Armenia. This office the
President may accept without author
ization of Congress.
Criticism of the Presidents request
was Immediately forthcoming. From
every quarter and from most of the
leading members of the two houses
came expressions to the effect that
Congress would give little heed to the
Presidents suggestion.
In several of the executive depart
ments of the government, views were
privately expressed that Congress
would not grant permission for ac-
ceptance of the mandate. An official
high in the diplomatic service of the
United States boldly stated that the
request for mandate has not
"Chinaman's chance"
Lodge Withh0lds Comment.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader
in the Senate, declined to make any
comment, but pointed to the state
ment in General Harbord's report to
the effect that the cost of the United
States for the first five years would
exceed 36,OOO,OOO
Other senators were frank in say
ing that acceptance of the mandate
meant merely the intrusion of the
United States into the policing of
Armenia after that country has been
stripped of every valuable natural re-
source by Great Britain and France.

The promoters who are facing the

FORBES SHOWS
BRIGHT FUTURE
Financial Writer Tells
Why Good Times
Are Ahead
CONTINUED From pD@.e ID

Under the surface there has all along
been more or less apprehension in
the highest financial circles as TO
the attitude of the present admins
tration toward business and especial
ly toward those influential interests
whose operations have extended to
foreign fields. Under the new re-
glme it is confidently expected that
the rights of American financial and
business interests will be upheld
throughout the world as valiantly,
for example, as the British govern
ment has always upheld its business
interests abroad
This survey, brief though it is,
should serve to show that all the main
fundamentals warrant optimism con-
corning the future, once the read
Justment processes now actively
and painfully-unders way have run
their course.
When will this be?
Violent fires burn themselves out
quickly. The REIMBURSEMENT pace has
been so rapid in not few ma
terials. commodities and manufactur-
ed goods that bottom probably has
been about reached. In other direc-
tons, however, prices still SAVIOR
more of war times than peace times,
and further house cleaning must be
looked for. The chances are that the
uncertainty and unsettlement will
continue until after the new year.
Between now and the middle of jan
uary commercial failures may be
quite numerous, as it is known that
many concerns are to be supported
by their banks only until loans can
be repaid.
The turn should some, however,
before 1921 is very old
The revival of activity could be
FASTENED by the prompt lowering OF
prices by retailers probably more
than by any other step. The exist
ing deadlock in buying was admit
tedly brought about by excessively
high prices. 1t can be broken only
by abolishing these high prices and
naming figures in harmony with the
relatively low prices now prevailing
for most raw materials and COM
modities. Labor costs, too, are COM
ing down by reason of increased eff
ficiency; and it is also significant
that in number of industrial centers
workers have requested that their
wages be lowered in order to avert
a shutdown.
The spirit of enterprise is cours-
ing through the veins of American
men of affairs as vigorously as at
any previous time in our history. In
fact, the war has raised US to new
status of leadership among the IN,
dustrial nations of the earth, and
both our financial Napoleons and our
marshals of industry are eager to
demonstrate that the American peo-
ME are abundantly capable of filling
their new and responsible role. This
role can be filled only by carrying
ont in an orderly way, all necessary
readjustments, and guiding the ma; ma
tion into a new era of active,
healthy, prosperous business
