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withdrawn.
