Mustapha Kemal won the assembly g
support after NJ. Rene Viviani had
swept the delegates with his oratory.

undertake negotiations. 90
The council failed to act, however
and the problem still faced the league
today There were indications that
British opposition to the French plan
had prevailed in the council.
Frequent references to America in
yesterdays debate led to the infer
ence that some delegates hoped to
avert drastic action regarding Ar
menia until the United States should
be in position to help.
Suggestions during yesterdays de-
bate that the league needed an armed
force were greeted with tremendous
cheers.
The British plan for Saving Ar
menia" was to appoint committee
of six to devise plans fer action. It
was adopted with the French plan,
but was subordinated.

 It is said that organized labor prefers MT. McAdoo. Mr McAdoo while dt- rector general of the railroad administra- tion, repeatedly favored labor by insist ing that Congfess grant their demands for increased wages. It is probable that MT. MeAdoo was governed more by the fact that the United States was at war and was absolutely dependent on the pro-
 duction of labor than through any ap-
 normal fondness for organized labor, or
 strong conviction that their complaint
 was just. At the same time he won

 During the present week, in which time the sensational efforts of the Russian anarchists, using the labor unions of the country, to overthrow the American government and make themselves mas ters of the United States, comprised the big news Mir, Palmer forged rapids to the front. The expose of the Russian plGts against American institutions was made by MT Palmer, and the people, as- sorting themselves against the schemes of reds. to make a catspaw of unic% labor to the end that the American flag might be transformed into red nag, naturally took position alongside the ac- tive and aggressive Attorney General.
 As result of the necessity that he re- main in Washington to guide the fight against the insidious radicals leading labor, Mir Palmer lost sight of his cam paign for the presidency. However, from Georgia. where he is engaged in an ac- tive campaign against Senator Smith, one of the democratic poison squad which destroyed the League of Nations, and Tom E. Watson, openly fighting fNe League of Nations and tne administration of President Wilson, there came null t;tude of telegrams and letters in which the Attorney General was given to un- derstand that Eve will take care of your interests in this state while you are fight ing for the preservation of the American form of government in Washington At the same time the labor organiza- tions, by word of mouth escnewing the outlaws but actually taking up arms against those men in public life who op- pose the plans and plots of tfS ~out- laws" have marked Mir. Palmer for slaughter. It is said that his intense
