Speaker. the New York Times printed another story on the massacre. containing a copy of a letter from Constantinople which vividly described the terrible plight of the Armenian people during these dark times. I would like to share the contents of that letter with my colleagues. We now know with certainty from a reliable source that the Armenians have been deported in a body from all the towns and villages in Cilicia to the desert regions south of Aleppo. The refugees will have to traverse on foot a distance. requiring marches of from one to two or even more months. We learn. besides. that the roads and the Euphrates are strewn with the corpses of exiles. and those who survive are doomed to certain death. since they will find neither house. work. nor food in the desert. It is a plan to exterminate the whole Armenian people.
