President. after the World War was over a few things occurred and a few things are now occurring that do not meet with my approbation. although my approbation or disapprobation amounts to very little. for I am just about ready to leave this august scene and to take my refuge with the birds and my books and my grandchildren. There are. however. some things that I do not like. I do not like to see America standing idle today while the Turks are deporting Armenian grandfathers and grandchildren. killing men of military age wherever they can reach them. and ravishing Armenian women all the time. I have been ever a peace lover and opposed to war. but there are some things that do arouse my warlike Instinct. If I were of this administration. instead of being merely an outgoing Senator. if I stood in Hardings place tomorrow. I would send instructions to Child and the others representing us at Lausanne to give the "unspeakable Turk" an ultimatum that no more Christians must be deported. no more Christians murdered. no more Christian women ravished in Asia Minor. and that if it were not possible to find a home for them somewhere in Asia. where they could be protected. a home should be found for them in eastern Thrace. and that these United StatesGod bless themwould stand with all their power and their resources and their ideals and their traditions behind the idea that unspeakable outrages perpetrated by the present Turkish Government shall cease. or. if they shall not cease. that then these resources and these ideals and these traditions shall come into the combat upon the side of humanity and upon the side of Christianity. I hesitate a little to say " Christianity." because I know that In the bottom of your hearts most of you do not believe in it at all except in a perfunctory church way. but there is a Christianity which proceeds from the philosophy of Jesus. and that Christianity consists in making of ourselves our brothers keeper. I have no patience at all with the utterance of Gain and the utterance of socalled modern American progressives after Cain. when they say. "We are not our brothers keeper." Mr.
