THE OMAHA' SUNDAY-BEE i APRIL' 4, 1920. WILSON GIVES SENATE REPORT ON ARMENIANS Makes No Recommendations On Assuming Mandate Over Turkey and Armenia, But Discusses Idea. Washington, April 3. President Wilson transmitted to the senate to day the report of the American commission, headed by Major Gener al Harbord, which investigated con ditions in Armenia. The report had been twice asked for by the senate, first last November and then by t resolution adopted several weeks ago. The commission made no recom mendations as to the United States assuming a mandate over Turkey nnd Armenia, but its report con tained extensive arguments for and against such action. No mandate should be taken, the commission said, without formal agreement with France and Great Britain and also "definite approval" of Germany and Russia. The in habitants, the mission stated, desire America to take the mandate first, with Great Britain their second choice. The principal arguments ad vanced in favor of the United States accepting a mandate were that the influence of the United States would tend to avert wars, that the inhabi tants wanted American protection and that this would give the United States an opportunity to do a great humanitarian work. . Reasons advanced against a man date were that it "would weaken our position relative to the Monroe Doctrine," that "human itarianism begins at home" and that the first year's cost would be $275,000,000, in- ' eluding $88,500,000 for the arrrfy and navy. Wilson's Demand That Turks Leave Europe A Surprise to Turks Constantinople, April 3. (By the Associated Press.) President Wil . son's note to the allies intimating that the Turks must get out of Eu rope came as a shock to all Turkish parties. Mr. Wilson's note appeared in a slightly censored form which made the position or tne united states seem harsher than it appeared in the lull text of the communication. The note was equally displeasing to the Greeks, who were much of fended at the American president's apparent ' unwillingness to grant . their claims to a large district about Smvrna and his insistence that Adrianople be given to the Bui aariani. American business men here are apprehensive over the effect of the e-residenfa stand and there is con siderable uneasiness as to the effect it will kift in Asiatic Turkey, where 500 Amencan-born teachers ana re lief workers are considered to be in considerable danger if the protec tien of Turkish forces should be withdrawn.
