in Armenia
by

and

Lord Robert Cecil’s
de-
mand that the Assembly

was
organized
to
deal
with.
Mr. Balfour said
an
appeal
must
be sent
to the 41 states
offthe League for
a combined
effort
to save Armenia.
M.
Viviani, of France,
following Mr.Balfour,
said
all
were
agreed

[t
is
not

fault
of
France
if
the
l.eague
today: is disarmed
in the face
of
the situation
in Armenia, said M. Vivian.
Virtually the entire
assembly
applauded
the statement,
but
it
was
noted,
how-
ever,
that
the
British
delegation
did
not apptaud.
If the
conference
had
lis-
tened
to France, continuzd
M. Viviani, we
would have
had
an
international -staff
and
ati‘ international
force
to deal
with
“ this
situation.
M.
Viviani presented
a
resolution
inviting
the
Council
of
the
League
to consult
the powers
with
a
view
to
the
constitution
of
the
force
sufficient
to put
an eud
to
the
hostili-
ties in Armenia.
-Pr. Fridtjof Nansen,
of Norway, estimated
that 60,000
men
would be
a
force sufficientto deal with
the situation.

mania

M.

thinking of
a resort
to intervention
and
yet not
wishing
to callit by that
name.
Mr. Doherty,
Canadian
Migister of
Jus-
tice,
put
it
as
‘‘anexceptional remedy
of
ap
exceptional¥
situation’’.
At the
close of the
debate,
however,
i{.ord Rob-
ert
Cecil
said
he
would
favour
armed
intervention
or
any other
plan
of
deal-
ing
with
the
situation.
M.
Viviani
proposed
that
a
.committee
select
one
power
which
would
accept
the
re-
sponsibility
of
taking
up

negotia-
tions.
He
carried-
almost
the
entire
assembly
with
him
in his
eloquent
pe-
roration
in which he demanded
innmediate
action.
Mr.
Balfour
wanted
further
light
on
the proposed
negotiations:
He
asked
if the
French
delegation proposed
to
make
an
offer
to

Kemel
Pasha,

Nationalist
leader,
as
it

He
thought
it
would
be
very
difficult
to
organize
an
expedition
of 60,000
or 70,000.

London,
Nov.

debate
in
the House
of Lords
on
the
Irish Home
Rule
Bill
tonight
was
made
memora-
ble
by
a
notable
appeal
from Viscount
Grey
to
the
Government
for
an
elev-
enth
hour
attempt
by
generosity
to
Ireland
to
fashion
the
Bill
into
an
ac-
ceptable
measure.
In
a
speech
dis-
pleying
no
resentment
and
taking
full
account
of
the
Govt’s, extreme
difficul-
ties
in
Ireland,
he
.urged
that
unless
-
the
Government
was
able
to
secure
effective
control
in
Ireland
it
would
be
better
to
withdraw
all
the
armed
forces and
ieave Ireland
to fina
her own
salvation.
He
outlined
the
measure
as
follows:
First:-Placing
Ireland
in
pre-
cisely
the
same
position
with regard
to
foreign affairs
as the great
self-govern-
ing dominions,
with
the
same
right
to
be consulted
about
commercial
treaties,&
and,
secondly:-Only
one army
in
these
two
islands.
He
would
not
however
contemplate
the
maintenance
of any
Im-
perial
troops in
Ireland
after
Home
Rule had passea
unless
Ireland
desired
-
it.

that

neither

wor

tain could

' That
must
be
without qualification.
Whatever

ions

might
mean,
we
must
from
the
beginning
have
no ambiguity
on
this
question.
With
Britain
and
Ire-
land so close together
and under

submarines,

concluded,
