ates and Leaves Armenians at
Mercy of Turks.
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.
"When the Turks were defeated in
the world war, the French told the Ar

was over France would see that (hey

"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

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.
Poincare, the President of France, as
pledging protection to them. He also
read decoded official messages to the
rurkish government ordering the
'white massacre" of 1915 in which
one million Armenian men. women
md children were driven up and down
the Mesopotamia desert until 800,000
perished of starvation and exhaustion.

world should have told Mustapha Ke*

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

to tight the Turks but to protect the
Christian population, the Turk would

to the relief of the railroad problem,
he suggested merger of lines.
I Turning to the recent railroad
strike, the President nrnnnsed that
the federal tribunal dealing with disi
putes between the carrier! and their
; workers to be given ample authority
to enforce Its decisions. He voiced a
preference for abolition of the railroad
labor board and the placing of
its functions under an enlarged interstate
commerce commission.
Should the decision be to continue
this board in existence, however, he
suggested that the partisan membership
be abolished to the end that the
, tribunal be impartial and the headquarters
moved from Chicago to Washington.
