It has been stated that tile Kemalist rdgimne contemplates sending representatives to America. either to secure recognition at the hands of this Republic or to float loans to enable Kemal Pashas government to meet its obligations and to maintain it in authority and power. Even the suggestion that America should receive such representatives or that anywhere in this broad land d single penny could be obtained by the Turkish Government or by the Kemalist rdgime should be an insult to the American people. If tile European nations will not interpose to save from destruction the Christian populations of Asia Minor. then this Nation and the churches and the publicspirited and philanthropic people throughout our land should lift their voices in solenin protest against the consummation of this wicked purpose. they should arouse civilized nations from their lethargy and put in operation such influences and moral forces as will bring fear to the hearts of the Kemalist forces and compel the renunciation of their purpose to destroy the Christian inhabitants of Asiatic Turkey and to regain authority over territory to which they are not entitled and which under every principle of right and justice should not constitute a part of any Turkish State. Mr. President. there is another latter relevant to the present discussion which I shall brieily refer to.
