The council at Lausanne has just surrendered to the Turks the demand for a homeland for the Christian Armenian people in Asia. The Turks positively refused It. and there was not enough spirit In France. Italy. and Great Britain to read an ultimatum to them to stop the murder and the rape and the deportation of these people. All that this bill asks is that something like 5.000 or 6.000 adults shall be admitted. provided they are otherwise admissible under our immigration lawsremember that. they must not be diseased and they must not be illiterateand that 25000 little children. orphaned or homeless. shall be allowed to come to America and go to orphan asylums. whether religious for governmental or philanthropic. which shall give bond to prevent them from becoming a public charge until they are old enough to work for themselves. That is all the bill provides. and certainly the Senator from Indiana is not going to .tell me that lie will object to a few minutes being spent upon the explanation of the bill. and a request for unanimous consent. when we have spent twice that much time up.on a little question of $3.000 here this morning.
