Mr. President. our Government apparently looks with unconcern upon the tragic conditions in the Near East. No voice of protest is raised against the deportation of Greeks from Thrace. the burning of Smyrna. the deportation of tens of thousands of Christians from the Smyrna district. and the deliberate execution of the cruel plan to accomplish the extermination of all nonMoslenIs now within Asiatic Turkey. It is quite likely. in view of this apathetic ind calloused spirit. that we vill soon be called upon to welcome the Turk into the family of nations. to resume intimate and most cordial diplomatic relations with hil. and to accord to him the honors of a triumphant and victorious power. It seems as though but little is needed to complete the humiliation of the allied and associated powers.
