Show Armenia May Be in New State Category . WASHINGTON, April 19. The council of the league of nations has agreed informally, according to information infor-mation reaching Washington, that it canot assume the mandate for Armenia Armen-ia as was suggested by the council of premiers In Paris. Importance Is attached at-tached by officials to the decision since an almost essential preliminary to n disucusslon of Turk Is l '-eadjust-menls by tho San Reniu Conference will be a definition of tho conference's, attitude toward Armenia. Tho fact that it does not control military forces and other machinery necessary to the administration of a slate Is understood to have been the basic reason for the decision of the premiers.- The council will suggest, however, officials here believe, Armenia Arme-nia should be placed In the category of new states to be controlled indirectly by the league such as former German Ger-man colonies and that some neutral slate be designated as mandatory. |
