I present to the Senate a memorandum or memorial in the interest of nativeborn United States citizens living in Turkish Armenia. whose lives. property. and lawful occupations are frequently imperiled. and a� the paper is a practical one and suggests some measure of relief that it is possible for Congress to grant. Iwish to call attention to two or three points in it. In Asiatic Turkey alone there is a permanent force of nearly 250 American missionaries. wvho hold over $2.000.000 of American property. In the eastern Turkey mission of the American Board there hre just 50 adult missionaries. who have under their charge 42 churches. 169 schools. a hospital. and a large medical work. They control a very considerable amount of property. for residences and for their use in educational. benevolent. and religious enterprises.
