VOL. LXII—NO. 299 WOULD SADDLE MANDATE OF ARMENIA ON UNITED STATES POPULATION 29,685 Lord Robert Cecil, Une of South Africa’s Delegates to the League of Nations, Expresses Belief That the United States Would Have More Influence With the Turkish National Leader Than Any Other Nation — Estimates 20,000,000 Would Supply the Necessary Military As- <t ance to Put Armenia on Her Feet—Troops to Be a Volunteer Force of Armenians and Nationals of Neigh- boring States. Geneva, Nov. 26.—(By The A. P)— That the United States would be the best nation to accept the mandate for Armenia is the opinion of Lord Robert Cectl, who is acting as one of South Africa’s delegates to the League of Na- tions assembly, as expressed to the American _newspaper correspondents to- night. The United States, he added, probadly would have more Influence with Mustapha Kemal (the Turkish Nation- Bist leader who is conducting a cam- paign against the Armenians) than any other nation. Lord Robert said $20,000.000 supply the necessary military anee to put Armenia on her feet. would assist- 1 have been advised by very good military opinion,” he declared, “that a good deal could be done to save Arme- Ria with the expenditure of that amount. We have appealed to many states and organizations, but so far we have' had Bothing but suggestions. “I think the United States would be the best country to solve the Armenian question inasmuch as that country’ would have the most influrnce with Mustapha Kemal. Twenty million dollars would enable us to organize the military ex- ition necessary to establish Armenian independence. The money would be ‘re- garded as a loan to the Armenian staate which would be repaid if the Armenian sconomic position were established.” While rofusing to name the number of troops ne Lord Robert Cecil stated it wo quite easy to ob- tain a volunteer force composed of Ar- menians and the Nationals of neighbor- oy states. “The Armenian question,” he explain- »d. “revolves itself largely into wl\t!h.zr there is any rovernment OF people in the world caring enough alout Arme- ala to furnish the necessary money for the work.” The South African delegates avoided the quéstion of a possible revision of the Turkish treaty as a means for serv- ng Armenia. He belleved that sub; sct! was being taken uup by the assembly. After declaring that the work of the assembiy had been extraordinarily suc- sessful, Lord Robert Ce:il continued: “Ne one foresaw that the assembly would become a corporate body with real #fe in it The assembly, above all, has A gem belief in its own untility and segards iiself and rightly so, as the su- Jremie international authority so far as_such authority can exist. 1 think the assemblly will do some- thing of great value. It will accept the international court of justice; will pass on the agmission of new members, and, I hope, it will take a large and gener- ous view of that subject, and it will review the present International sit- uation and the work of the council. Not the least encouraging symptom is that the assembly is taking things very seri- ously.” Lord Robert expressed the hope that there would be one woman member of each delegation, but said this was not possible for the first sessions. He indi- cated that the assembly would make no change in the duration of mandates, saying: “Mandates must be, in offect, trusts, and the mandatories should not| be changed unless the trust fails.” BRITISH OUTVOTED IN THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS COUNCIL Geneva, Nov. 26.—(By The A. P.)
