Wilson's Stand
Near East Meets
French Approval
Parts, Mar. 30. It was said at the
foreign office today that the French
point of view regarding Turkey and
Armenians In agreement with that of
President Wilson as to the desirability
of the largest possible Armenian state
and the expulsion of the Turks from
Constantinople. The question Is raised,
however, as to how these ends can be
achieved without the force necessary
to deal with the trouble certain to re
sult among the Mussulman population.
(President Wilson's note on the
Turkish question was delivered to
Premier Millerand by Ambassador
Wallace during the session of the eoun
ell of ambassadors In Paris yesterday.)
It would require a force of several
hundred thousnnd men to back up a
decision to eject the Turks entirely
from Europe, a high official said.
The establishment of an Armenian
state of large dimensions also would
Involve the necessity of a military
force to protect it, as in a great por
tion of the new state the Armenians
would be In the minority and exposed
to the hatred of their enemies'. This
task, it was declared at the foreign of
fice, always had been considered the
great humanitarian task for President
Wilson to perform. The question was,
it was added, whether he was ready to
furnish the required force.

Mayo Says Navy
In Best of Shape
In Spring of 17
Washington, Mar. 30. The Atlantic
fleet never was better prepared for
war than when it came from Cuban
water late in March, 1917, after Its
winter battle practice, Rear Admiral
Henry T. Mayo, former commander In
chief, today told the senate committee
investigating the navy's conduct of the
nar. The personnel was on a peace basis
and was somewhat inadequate the ad
miral said, but officers and men were
confident and well trained and target
practice In southern waters had shown
gratifying results.
No written plan of policy for th?
participation for the fleet In the war
was given him when the United Stales
joined the allies, Rear Admiral Mayo
testified, but In conversations with Ad

and other department officials he was
Informed that the missions of his com

Socialist Party Branded
Organization of Traitors
By New York Assembly
Albany, N. Y., Mar. 80. Branding the socialist party as "an
organization composed exclusively of perpetual traitors," a ma
jority of the judiciary committee of the New York state assembly
in a report transmitted to the lower house of the legislature today,
recommended the expulsion of the five socialist assemblymen.
August Claessens, Charles olomon, Louis Waldman, Samuel Orr
and Samuel A. DeWitt.
Minority reports were submitted by
members of the committee who dis
sented from the findings ot the ma
jority. Action on the reports will be made
a special order of business In the as
sembly tomorrow.
Expulsion Opposed
While no concerted action has been
taken by those who are opposed to
the expulsion of the socialists. Major
ity Leader Simon L. Adler, of Monroe
and Assemblyman Theodore " Roose
velt of Nassau, will Bpeak and vote
against that program.
"I cannot approve of the expulsion
ot the entire representation ot a party
from the legislature," Colonel Roose
velt said today. "Whatever I may do
as an individual and not as a part of
any movement agreed upon with
others."
Mr. Adler, who on the first day of
the session introduced the resolution
demanding the suspension of the so
cialists, said his position was virtual
ly the same as that of Colonel Roose
velt.
"I am not a party to any concerted
action," he added.
Seven of the 13 members ot the com
mlttce signed the majority report
Evidence llevlewod
Enactment of a law to prevent any
organisation which admits aliens to
its membership from occupying the
position ot a political party on the of
ficial ballot of the state Is advocated.
The report reviews evidence heard
during the recent 24 days trial, pur
porting to show that the socialist
party opposed prosecution of the war,
opposed all legislation for industrial
and military conscription pledged Its
members to work for the repeal of the
consciiftion law, advised resistance to
conscription of life and labor and
urged the repudiation of war debts.
"The socialist purty of America,"
says the report, "is not a loyal Amer
ican organisation or political party,
disgraced occasionally by the traitor
ous act or declaration ot a member but
Is a disloyal organization composed ex
clusively of perpetual traitors. There
fore, the act of a member of that
party In subscribing to the constitu
tional onth of office to support the
constitution of the I'nited Btatea and
the constitution of the state 01 ?rew
York should be utterly disregarded as
patently shnm and a mere cloak for
treachery."
Two republicans, William Pcllett,
of New York, and Theodore Btltt, of
Brooklyn, Blgned a report expressing
the Belief that tho socialists were en
titled to retain their seats. They stute
that no evidence was produced to show
that the attitude of the socialists dur
ing the war was not other than nega
tive, withholding aid and comfort to
their government, rather than a post
tlve tone of giving aid and comfort to
the nation's enemies.
Two democratic members of the cm
mlttee, Maurice Bloch and William 8.
Evans of New York, hold that the
members of the assembly cannot un
seat the five socialists without violat
ing their own oath of office.
Kvans contends that under the con.
stltiitlon of the state the assembly "Is
forbidden from Imposing upon any
member any test of loyalty."
"Radical minorities,'; sys Evan.,
"must nut be driven from the legisla
ture. It Is better to have them In the
legislature than In secret meetings In
cellars." .
"Liberty Involves the right to think
wrong," says Assemblymun Bloch In
his report.
