Status Under Ottoman
Empire, They Say.

Lausanne, Dec. 26.--(By The Asso-

center of the Near East conference
Tuesday. The Turks refused to at
tend meeting of the sub-commission
which had arranged to hear the plea
of Armenians for the establishment
of a national home in Turkey. and
both 1smet Pasha and RIA Nur Bey
sent strongly worded communications
to the conference. protesting against
the decision to allow the Armenians
TO state their case.
They declared that if the Armen-
lans. who had no official standing and
represented no important government,
were heard by the conference. there
was no reason why the Egyptians or
Irish could not be allowed to present
their demands
The so-called irregular Egyptian
delegation has been waiting in Lau-
same for more than a month for per
mission to be heard by the confer
ence and voice demand for the in
dependence of Egypt and complete
eAtiiuia"dl u the bFltlSn army.
In consequence of the Turkish pro-
test. the official meeting of the sub

ers. Great Britain, France and Italy,
sitting alone, listened to the Armenian
spokesman. who suggested that home
be established in the northeast valay-
cts of Turkey, which should include
historic Mount Ararat or section in
Cilicia.
1t was impossible, he declared, for
proposed Armenian home to amalga
mate with the Armenian republic of
Erivan. which has been taken by the
Moscow soviets. The Afmenians
would willingly accept the same rela-
tionship with Turkey as the dominiens
with England. In conclusion. he ask
ed for exemption from military service
for the Armenians and urged main

The delegates took the Armenian
petition under advisement as they did

DOING DUTY,
SHEEHY SAYS
Explains Absence at Demo-
cratic Meeting Due to
School Board Session
HITS AT JOB SEEKERS
Issues Statement in Answer
to Critics at Democratic
Club Meeting

John X. Sheehy, Democratic cam
dldate for mayor, when asked If
he had any comment to make on
the criticism made by some mem
bers of the Young Mems Democratic
Club as to why he did not attend
the meeting of the club Thursday
night, said he thought the criticism
was not only unfair but very unjust.
He said the regular monthly
meeting of the school board was
held Thursday night, and knowing
that one and possibly two of the
board members could not be pres
ent, felt it his duty to attend the
meeting of the board.
Il was asked by a News reporter
early Thursday morning if 1 would
be present at the Democratic Club
meeting and I informed him it
would be impossible for me to at
tend. felt that while the campaig gn
is going to be a strenuous one and
every opportunity must be taken
advantage of, nevertheless I felt it
not only my duty to the schools but
my duty to the citizens of Perth
Amboy to fulfill the trust imposed
In me as a member of the Board of
Education.
In my fifteen years of service to
the people of Perth Amboy as a
member of the school board, 1 have
missed but three or four meetings
. of the boards and these We're un-
avoidable. When you consider that
have given fifteen years of service
without one penny of compensation
to the people of Perth Amboy, only
to be criticised by those who are
either drawing fat political salaries,
. and by others whose political activi-
ties expect to land them some
soft political berth, / say, the crit
icism is not only unfair but unjust.
wonder if some of those who crit
icise would give of their tome so
freely?
MY Democracy has never been
questioned. My record for dealing
open and above board in all busi-
ness matters pertaining to the man
agement of school affairs, is an open
book and I want to say right now,
if there was more business, and
lass petty politics, those who are
finding fault with me, for my polit-
ical inactivities would be doing the
Democratic party a world of good.
