Mr Wilson's acceptance Is commend able and worthy of ihe best tradi tions of the l'nlted States, which h.-ve always been a friend of Armenia and taken the lead In alleviating hor suf fering. The decision of Preu)ent Wilson Is not In any sense political from my viewpoint and cannot lend encourage ment to oil those who wish to see the l'nlted SUites In the league.
