New Orleans, La. ? Violation by France of its agreement to protect Armenians was responsible in a largo measure for the slaughter of Christians in Turkey, according to Bishop lames Cannon. Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, who addressed a mass meeting here at the First Methodist Church in the interest of S'ear East Relief. "There never was a more shameless iesertion of a people than that of the Armenians by France," Bishop Cannon said.

"Instead. France slipped in the back 1oor and signed a treaty with the Angora government of which no other nation had any knowledge until it was completed. Then, without notice, the French army evacuated and left the Armenians at the mercy of the Turks. The abandonment of the Greeks by France was had enough, but the abanlonment of the Armenians is too horrible to be long thought of." Bishop Cannon has Just returned from the Near East where he went to investigate conditions as chairman of the Near East Relief committee of his [ hurch. He was in Constantinople at (he time of the burning of Smyrna* The bishop quoted M. Briand, at the time Premier of France, as saying that France would take a mandate Dver the territory as a matter of duty to the Armenians and also quoted M.

"The Turk should he penned up like my other mad dog." Bishop Cannon *aid. "The Christian nations of the world should have told Mustapha Ke* inal Pasha when he telegraphed the inference in Geneva he could not he responsible for any massacres that the world would not permit further massacres of Christians. "I am not a fighting man: I do not believe in wars but if this country had nvited the other nations to join us with their warships and marines, not to tight the Turks but to protect the Christian population, the Turk would lave understood and the slaughter of Smyrna wouiu 1101 have uuunnl."
