THE RED RUGS OF TARSUS
must work in Egypt, in France, in Germany, in England and, perhaps later, in America to let the world know how the Armenians have suffered and what their lot must always be under Turkish rule. We see too oh, so clearly how heartless and cynical the diplo- mats of Europe are. They are the cause, as much as the Turks, of the massacres. Not the foreign policy of Russia or Germany alone. As far as the Near East goes, the Great Powers are equally guilty. No distinction can be drawn between them. In England, in Ger- many and in France, people do not care be- cause these horrible things are done so far away. They are indifferent to their own solemn treaty obligations. They are ignorant of the cruelty and wickedness of the selfish policy pursued by the men to whom they en- trust their foreign affairs. I see blood when I think of what is called "European diplomacy" for blood is there, blood shed before your eyes.
