Americans Find Armenians Victims of Circumstances, not Beggars The Armenian government would soon be able to work out its own salva tion if it could en joy a brief period of peace, in the opin ion of an American Commission which has just returned to the United States after an exhaustive survey of the situa tion in the Levant. This Commission, which was sent out by the Near East Relief, made a per sonal inspection of conditions from Syria to the Cauca sus Mountains. In addition, the reports of relief workers who have been long on the field and of government officials carefully examined. "In those feW districts where the Armenian has been able to live in peace he has thoroughly demonstrated his ability to care for himself and his own," declares Chas. V. Vickrey, general secretary of the re lief organization, who headed the Commission. "Naturally indus trious, with an in herent distaste for accepting charity, it has been the whole sale disorders of the past year that have prevented the people from realizing their cherished dream of a stable, independent government. "Even in the pres ent crisis, with star vation and cholera making such rapid inroads into the ppp ulation that it seems impossible for any to survive, the peo ple are struggling bravely against overpowering circum stances. "Armenia is starving, not because her people are depending on outside aid for their existence, but because occupation of their land by hostile forces and the consequent interruption of normal occu pation, have made them helpless. A Victim of Scabies, Nearly as Prevalent as Starvation. Homeless Waifs at Erivan Rail road Station. "Time after time since the outbreak of the world war, the Armenians have made a brave attempt to cultivate their land. And time after time some new disorder has prevented them from gather ing their crops or laid waste their fields before the grain has ripened and been gathered in. "After two years of American relief activity it seemed last fall as if we would be able to reduce our program in Russian Armenia to the care of the children we had gathered into our orphanages. But then came the new invasion, crops were trampled down in the fields, live stock was carried off, and the peasant population were driven from their homes. We may not be able to save all of the helpless refugees who are now crowded in this territory, but we certainly cannot desert the hundred thousand orphan children who are now in our orphanages or under onr protection in the Caucasas, Anatolia, Cilicia and other devastated areas of the Near East. Last spring, when our supplies ran low, 3,000 of these children died out of a total of 20,000 in one of our orphanages. These children are absolutely dependent upon aid from America and will perish if our aid is with-held. Next year, if further chaos can be avoided, possibly we will be able to reduce our program, but prompt action is necessary now or for thousands there will be no next year." Daily Thought.
