SEEKING A PROTECTOR.
ATTITUDE OF THE LEAGUE.
GUARANTEES DEMANDED. By Telegraph Press Association Copyright. (Received 930 p.m.) LONDON* April 26. The council of the League of Nations has issued a memorandum explaining its attitude regarding Armenia. The memo-, randum says, the league itself cannot take direct military or financial action. The best solution, which is also Armenia's desire, is to, find a mandatory power, but such a power is hard to find, unless the Allies give military and financial assurances, and alfio assurances regarding Armenia's access to the sea. The League Council urges the Supreme Council, to state if it is willing to advance funds pending a full assembly of the league, and also what guarantees are obtainable in regard to Armenia's access to the sea and the expulsion of Turkish troops. A. and N.Z. WASHINGTON, April 26. The State Department has indicated that it is impossible for the United States to accept any mandate for Armenia, owing to the present temper of Congress.
