IMPERIAL AFFAIRS

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As an old subscriber to "The Evening Post," I have read, with very great interest the able articles which have been appearing lately, in connection with Imperial affairs and the letter in to-night's issue by Mr. Kussall. Such', articles cannot fail to have a good educating effect upon the people of this Dominion and help us to realise more fully our new. duties and obligations in connection'with British foreign policy apparently foreshadowed at the Imperial Conference. Would it bo possible for your capable writers to now go a little farther afield and give your readers an insight into gome matters which certainly appear rather puzzling to the man in the . street. Take, for instance, the treatment o£ the Armenians during the war and .since the war. Is it true that they stuck loyally to the British throughout the war, and yet when the war was over the British allowed them-to be indiscriminately.-, massacred by the Turks? This has always been a bit of a nuzzle ■to me, and no doubt has been puzzling to others also. Not so very long ago there appeared in the columns of "The Evening Post" an account of the moat awful atrocities committed by the Turks upon defenceless Christian women and children on tha borders of Irak, and yet I never saw a word of condemnation of those horrible ghouls in the leading articles of "The Evening Post."— l am, etc., A CHRISTIAN.
