President Wilson's note, asking that,
menia, the great powers promise Rus
STA that her territorial integrity shall
not be invaded, seems to have met
with little response from the capitals
of Europe, though it may be the states
men are merely digesting it, Armenia
herself appears to have ceased to in
terest any except the philanthropists
who know that her people still are suf-
fering and oppressed. AS for Russia,
the main development of recent days
is the progress of the negotiations for
resumption of trade between her and
Great Britain. The soviet envoy has
received the terms demanded by the
British, and it is likely they will be
accepted. The movement toward the
same end in the United States has
received setback in the senate com
mittee. where a majority seems OPP
posed to an arrangement switch they
think involves the recognition of the
soviet government.
That same Wilson note was inter-
preted in this country as aiming chief
ly at Japan's continued occupation of
Vladivostok and the surrounding por-
ton of Siberia, and in this light might
have been generally approved if the
Republican press had not jumped on
it as presumptuous attempt to es-
tablish policy by repudiated adj
ministration. Anyhow, the Japanese
so far have not given it official atten-
ton; neither have they made any
move toward getting out of vladivce

naval lieutenant by one of their SEN

however. have forced Tokyo to dis
avow all such actions.

George said this was out of the ques-
ton, calling attention to the difficulty
in obtaining f1O.OOO.OO0 to build hous-
es in London. The council, feeling
that the case of Austria is so closely
bound up in the general central Eu-
ropean situation, referred the whole
matter to a special committee, made
up of the commerce ministers of the al
lied nations, for investigation.
Admitting that the treaty of Sevres,
with Turkey, must be revised, the
council decided that representatives of
the allies shall hold conference with
Turkish and Greek representatives in
London in the latter part of February.
If the governments of Constantinople
and Angora can get together for the
purpose, they will be allowed to send
a Joint delegation To this extent the
council recognizes the Turkish Ma
tionalist government, and it probably
is the least 1t can do In view of the
strong position of Mustapha Renal

ing. OF the international conference

Without any warning and to the
surprise of the foreign delegates,
Secretary Of State Hughes popped
the concrete proposals before them
with dramatic force and telling ef-
feet.
Before the delegates scarcely were
aware Of what was happening, Mr..
Hughes, true to his promise, had laid
the cards of Uncle Sans hand face
up on the table
The effect of the unexpected move
was heightened by the spontaneous
endorsement Of the legislative pro-
posals on the spot by the legislative
branch OF the American government.
The senator's who occupied one bal
cony and the representatives who
were in another, simultaneously arose
as Mr.. Hughes concluded presenta-
ton of the reduction program and
loosed torrent of applause. 1t was
the great dramatic moment of the
session.
Summary of Plan.
The American proposals summar-
lied follow:
|. The United States, Great Brit
ain and Japan to agree to a navy
building holiday for 10 years, during
which time no new ships shall be
built except for replacement of ton
mage within the agreed maximum of
each nation.

and numerous specified older capital
ships to be scrappcd at once.
3. All building programs, either
