advocating that the League of Ma

the establishment of a more humane
Turkey or that It be wiped forever
off the map of the world" were
adopted by the National Association
of Local Preachers of the Methodist
Church in session at Wesley M. E.
Church. The resolutions adopted
were offered by the Rev. Q. d. VIII
liams of Philadelphia and are as
follows:
Whereas, 1.-The Turk Is hopeless
ly unfit TO govern subject races. He
cannot administer. He cannot Sc
cure justice. AS a governing power
he has always shown himself inca
pable. corrupt and cruel. He has
always destroyed. He has mover
created. The faults OF Turkish
Government are incurable. The Turk
as a governing power is irreclaim-
able. and
Whereas, During the last twenty
years the Americans have been mas
sacred under conditions OF unexam-
pied barbarity. and during the war
the record OF the Turkish Govern
ment IN massacres and deportations
exceeded its own previous record. II
ts estimated that since 1914 the
Turkish Government has massacred
100000 Armenians including women
and children and deported more than
200, 900 CREEKS and 100000 Armen-
fans. Not only has tho Turkish Gov
ernment failed TO protect the sub
jects OF other races from pillage,
outrage and murder but there is
abundant evidence that II has been
responsible for directing and organ
izing savagery against people 10
whom It once vowed protection;
therefore be It
Resolved, NThat the National
Association OF Local Preachers OF
tho Methodist Episcopal Church in
America IN ats sixty-ffth annual ses-
sion in the Wesley NJ. u. Church,
Dover, Del, September 2S, 1922,
protests against the continuance OF
the Turkish Government under pres
ent and past executive administra-
ton, aud that either the League OF
Nations end at once such adminis-
tration or the righteous Nationalist
of the World take the matter at once
under proper supervision and make
a new humane Turkey or wipe Il
forever of the map of the world"
