depends on the continuation Of Ameri-

According to Mr.. Hemphill, the need
for American help to soc the destitute
peoples Of the Near East through the
crisis of present conditions Is greater
now than ever before on account Of the
uncertainty as to the future, the trucu

the danger Of bolshevism from Russia,

Armenia.
