the League.
Geneva. Nov. "A resolution pre-
sented by NJ, vlviani, inviting the
council of the League of Nations TO
confer with the various powers with
View 10 constituting force suffi-
Client TO put an end to hostilities In Ar
ihehia, which was joined to Lord Rob-
ert CeeiFs resolution along the same
lines, was adopted by the assembly OF
the League.
Supporting Lord Robert Ceeirs de-
mand that the assembly appoint a
committee to examine into means for
ending the hostilities between the
Turkish nationalists and the Armen-
ians, NJ SpaIekjovitch of the Serbian
delegates recalled the United States at
one time had approved the use of the
American fleet TO succor the Ar
menlans.
II was recalled here IN this connec-
tlon that Senator Harding was the
senator who reported the resolution.
GA resolution requesting the president
70 send marines to Batum was adopted
oy the senate May 10 last. IL was offered
by Senator Harding on behalf OF the for
elgn relations committee.)
A. j. Balfour OF Great Britain.
speaking on the resolution, said that
II the United States had been willing
to take the mandate for Armenia, she
had TIE men, money and spirit to
make her an ideal mandatory
The league has been unable to ac-
complish anything with regard TO the
Armenian situation, MIR. Balfour ad-
mitted, because the condition In Ar
menia, he argued, was not such as the
league was organized to deaf with.
Mr.. sBalfour said an appeal must be
sent to the Al states of the league for
q united effort to save Armenia.
Rene Viviani of France, following
Mr.. Balfour, said all were agreed that
compassion would no longer suffice
for Armenia.
ut Is not the fault of France If the
league today is dlsarmed before the
situation in Armenia Is righted," said
M. Viviani.
Virtually the entire assembly ap-
plauded this statement. 1t was noted,
however, that the British delegation
did not applaud.
IF the conference had listened to
France" continued NJ Vivlani, I'VE
would have had an international staff
and an international force TO deal with
this situation"
NJ. Viviani presented q resolution In
Wiling the council of he league to
consult with the powers with a view
to the constitution of force suii-
cient to put an end to the hostilIties
in Armenia.
Dr. FridJof Nansen of Norway es-
timated that 10000 men would be q
force sufficient to deal with the stu
alton. He thought that If the assem-
bly, appealed to the whole world. the
United States, although 1t had refused
the mandate, would do It's share.
Delegate Jonescu of Roumania sup
ported NJ. vivianfs proposition, and
also thought the United States might
be counted on for help.
The debate gave the impression OF
everyone thinking of resort to inter-
yention and yet not wishing to call it
by that name. G. j. Doherty of Cam
ada put IL as "an exceptional remedy
for an exceptional situation" At the
close Of the debate. however, Lord Ce-
ell said he would favor armed inter-
vention or any other practical plan
Of dealing with the situation.
NJ. Viviani proposed that a coinmlt-
tee select one power that would ac-
cept the responsibility of taxing up
negotiations.
He carried almost the entire as
sembly with him in his eloquent pero-
ration IN which he demanded lmmedi-
ate action.
Mr.. Balfour wanted further light on
the proposed negotiations. He asked
what the French delegation proposed
to offer Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the
nationalist leader, as 1t was quite nee
essary, the British delegate said 10
offer the nationalist leader either
money or territory. He thought It
would be difficult TO organize an expe-
ditlOn Of 10000 or $4,000 uen.
Failure to take practical action
here on this question" responded NJ.
Vivieni, "wlll be to demonstrate the
SsAault OF the League of Nations"
