J u I 1 North IV BE I We ha HMIIm MANDATE IS ONLY SOLUTION OF THE 1 TURKISH PROBLEM I st General Harbord, However, la Does Not Recommend United ~ Oi States Accept It er fii * - I . SI Washington, April 3.?While the 6r American mission under Major General Harbord which investigated con- p ditions in the near east last year did * not recommend that the United States accept a mandate over the former Ottoman empire, General Harbord in his report said some power should< accept a mandate as the only solution of the c, Turkish problem. ^ Constantinople, he said, should be ti< in fho rr\ onHo tnrv tDrritnrv m iliV.lUUV.U 111 tliv uiuuuuivi; vu* 4 ?vv? ^ J 444 but he disapproved several mandator- lo ies for different portions of Turkey. bi The much discussed report of the st mission was transmitted to the Senate se today by President Wilson in response to a second resol?ition of request a- Cj dopted several weeks ago after the sj Senate had failed to hear from the a] White House concerning its first resolution adopted in November. 59,000 For First Tear. ' p While estimates of the number of r? troops required for a mandatory varys sc from 25,000 to 200,000, General Har- cs Dora aeciarea mat in nis judgment oi 59,000 would be needed for the first la year. Tb?^ cost of the mandate was estimated ^t $275,000,000 for the first I" year including $88,500,000 for the ar- L my and navy and $756,000,000 for the L first five years. Thirteen arguments in favor of the I United States accepting a mandatory and thirteen against acceptance were \ contained in the report. The principal arguments in favor were that the United States was "one of the chief contributors in the formation of the League of Nations, was j morally bound to accept, that its man- A datory would insure peace at the world's crossways; that the building of railroads would offer opportunities for American capital and there would be great trade advantages; that intervention would definitely stop further massacres of Armenians and other vi Christians and give justice to the 0| Turks, Serbs, Greeks and other peo- a, pies and that unless the United States p] assume responsibility in this region, international jealousies probably h would result in the continuance of the unspeakable misrule of the Turks." rc Arguments Against The principal arguments against an b< American mandate were that the Unit- m ed States had prior and nearer foreign obligations, that there was every like- a f' [TIL GENE e want to annoi Iain Street, next iroceries. ?? ?
