AMERICA MAKE8 ANOTHER
APPEAL FOR ARMENIANS
Lausanne, Dec. 30. — America
made another appeal yesterday in
behalf of the Near East refugees,
when the delegates representing the
United States at the Near East peace
conference, presented an earnest plea
that in the general amnesty arrange*
ments to be negotiated with Turkey,
suitable provision be made for Ar-
from turkey and may wish to return
to.thelr homes* The Americans ask
ed that Turkey agree to restore to
these refugees their property.
What action the entente nations
will take on the plea of Armenia for
a national home in Turkey,
probably be decided this morning. At
this time the delegate^ of Gfeat Brit
ain, Franco and Italy will consider
the petition which the Armenians pre
sented to the conference a few days
**k
No progress was made yesterday
by. the subcommission on minorities
before" which the American view was
presented when general questions of
amnesty were under discussion. The
jurists to whom the amnesty clausa
of the proposed treaty was submitted
reported they were unable to agree
as both the Turks and Greeks-had
interjected too many-controversial
political considerations.
Confronted by Turkish objections,
the subcommission voted to drop the
British amendment stipulating that
appointment of a league of nations
representative to supervise Turkey’s
treatment of minorities.
The conference deadlock on the big
issues continues, apparently Angora
must apeak before the Ottoman dele
gates can make concessions of
ture to ease the present delicate post-

Referring' to suggestions that the
