The future of Armenia has been the subject of more suggestions than almost anything else since the politicians took upon themselves the settling of the world's affairs. First of all everybody wanted America to take over this unhappy country, but America refused, and people have been at their wits' ends te know how to settle the pitiable affair although there hes been no dearth of suggestions. Some of the best of these have come from America, so that they can be regarded as disinterested individual efforts. One suggestion was to give a company a charter to run the country and leave to raise an army to defend it and keep order. Nobody appears to have paid much attention to this idea, so now another one may have a chance. This is that Norway, which has just. become a colonizing country again by being allotted Spitzbergen, might become the mandatory. No doubt Norway would inlake a success of the country if she took charge, but it is much to be questioned whether she would consider it a sufficiently attractive venture. She could hardly be expected to enthuse over an offer which everybody else has rejected.
