BRYsON MAKES A7BTTERLY PROTEST ST|NC|NG REPLY LAUSANNE TREATY
Led By Former Ambassador Gerard, Senate To Be Told
 Of Fight By Citizens

NEW YORK. Nov. 24-An ogan- ized movement to frustrate ratifica- ton of the Lausanne treaty by the United States Senate was undertaken at the Yale club today by group oi influential Americans, headed b. James " Gerard. former ambassador 10 Germany and now chairman of tht American committee for the inde' pendence of Armenia.
 4 memorandum. previously signed by 100 statesmen. high army officers finRnciers. church officials, editors and foreign relief workers. was ap- prov for presentation to President Cooh.- Secretary of State Hughes and lnar- r-Iel senators before whom the treaty will come for ratification at the forthcoming session Of Con- gress.
 Sacrifices Rights Of Americans.
 The document charges that the state departments envoys at Lau- same sacrificed to A1ustapha Kemal the rights of American citizens in Turkey and threw overheard the Ar menian people. whom this country was pledged to protect. in exchange for the Chester concessions to few American business men, since trans ferred to alien control
 "It is morally an indefensible treaty" said the memorandum. Tt is an utterly humiliating and pur- poseless treaty It surrenders every American right in Turkey. It rem ders impossible the continuance of American educational and philan- thropic enterprises in that country. It ignores our solemn pledge to Ar menia.
 "The economic concessions it pur- ports to secure for few Americans are now admitted to be of dubious value. and have already been trans ferred into alien hands.
 We believe that the honor of America, no less than every dictate of reason, demands that the Senate reject the Lausanne treaty"
 Later on the document says: If as appears, the Chester concession was the inducement leading to the sacrifice of American rights and the abandonment of Armenia, then, in the light of our fuller knowledge of the. illusory nature of this concession no longer even In American hands the only plausible argument in favor of the Lausanne treaty becomes un- tenable."
 Prominent Men In Attack.
 The attack on the treaty was led today by MT. Gerard, Oscar s. Straus Capt, Paxton Hihben, former Russian and Near East Relief worker; Prof A. D. F. Hamlin of Columbia univer- sity, Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard. and pr. Paul s, Leinbach of Philadelphia.
 Attached to the memorandum was a list of names, which included Gov Alfred F. Smith of New York, Alton B. Parker, Bishop William T. Man. ming of New York, Gov. Lee M. Rus sell of Mississippi, William Guggen- helm, Bishop Thomas F. Gailor of Tennessee, Bishop Philip M. Rhine lander of Pennsylvania, Josephus Daniels, Rabbi stephen s. Wise ot New York, pr. Frank N. Crane H. N McCraclSen. president of Vassar col lege; Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cademan George Haven Putnam, George Henry Wade Rogers, Rt. Rev. Thomas J.
