pointed out taat the act of congress

expressed decided opposition to the
New York bankers suggestion that
at least portion of the debt be
cancelled, several leaders in both
the senate and house declaring
that the American people were Ill
no mood to approve any such ac-

Edward ]. Manion. president of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers.
Manion said he had appealed to
President Harding to intercede In

abolition.
"Undoubtedly there will be
strike votes taken on some roads"

committees of the eleven roads af-
fected by the wage cut. who ask

ARMENIA CAUSES

LAUSANNE NEE 7
Turks Send Strongly Word
ed Protest to Conference;
Refuse TO Attend a Com
mission Meeting

Lausanne, Dec. 26 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Armenia was the
storm center of the Near East con-
ference today. The Turks refused
to attend a meeting of the sub
commission which had arranged to
hear the plea of the Armenians for
the establishment OF a national
home in Turkey, and both ISmet
Pasha and Ria Nur Bey sent
strongly worded communications to
the conference protesting against
the decision to allow the Armen-
iane to state their case.
They declared that if the Armen-
ians, who had no official standing
and represented no Independent
government, were heard by the
conference, there was no reason
why the Egyptians or the Irish
should not be allowed to present
their demands.
The so-called irregular Egyptian
delegation has been waiting in
Lausanne for more than month
for permission to be heard by the
conference and voice a demand for
tie independence of Egypt and
complete withdrawal of the Brit
ish army.
Meeting Postponed
In consequence of the Turkish
protest, the official meeting of the
sub-Commission was postponed,
and the representatives of the in
viting powers, Great Britain,
France and Italy, sitting alone lis
tened to the Armenian spokesman,
who suggested that u home be es-
tablished in the northeast vilayets
of Turkey. which should include
historic Mount Ararat or a section
in Cecilia.
1t was impossible, he declared,
for the proposed Armenian home
to amalgamate with the Armenian
republic OF Ervan, which has been
taken over by the Moscow sovicts.
The Armenians would willingly ac-
cept the same relationship with
Turkey as the dominiOns with Eng
land. In conclusion he asked for
exemption from military service
for the Armenians and urged main
tenance Of the orthodox patriarch
in Constantinople.
The entente delegates took the
Armenian petition under advise

from the Bulgarians and the an
cient people known as tbs Assyro-
Chaldeans'

ENGLAND CASTS LONE
DISSENTING BALLOT


Paris, Dec. 2G.--Francc gained
an important victory in the allied
reparations commission meeting to-
day when the commission by a vote
Of three to one declared Germany
in voluntary default in her wood
deliveries for 1922,
France, Belgium and Italy voted
in favor of the declaration while
Great Britain cast its ballot against
it,
The decision Of the commission
was Immediately communicated to
the allied governments for their
action. 1t may have a vital etfect
on the reparations problem ~
France can retain the support or
Italy and Belgium when the repa-
ratfons question is discussed at the
January . meeting Of the premiers.
The lone vote cast against the
decision by Great Britain as in aC-
cordance with British policy which
has been opposed to declaring Ger
many in default, in fear that such
action might have a disastrous ef-
feet on the already proCarious state
Of German finance.
France is considered to have
scored an important point by rea-
son of the fact that the decision OF
the commission was arrived at
on majority vote. France had
been alone for a long time in the
contention that Germany could be
placed in voluntary default by q
simple majority vote. ltaly's sup
port Of France in the ballOting
came as q surprise and as an indi-
cation that Premier Mussolini Is
swinging over to the French side
in the reparations controversy.
Germany has carried out moro
than 60 per cent of its schedule OF
wood delivery for this year. When
| the German experts We're before
the commission several weeks ago
they announced that Germany had
been unable to deliver more than
she had and that the deliveries for
/ 1929 must be greatly reduced.
There was much comment to-
night over the fact tIiat Great ijr'
I tain had declined to vote in favor
OF declaring Germany In default.
in view of the approaching meet
| ing of the premiers.
Although the deliveries OF wood
| In themselves are of less import
anCe than other matters connected
with reparations. the French point
out that today's decision is of real
value to Frances position on rep
aratious, since it reverses the order
OF things and place Great Britain
in an isolated position on the is

Some of the French observers at

front before Great Britain in the
question Of reparations at the COM
