Status of Constantinople Mandate Divides US Delegates
American delegates weigh options after the Sultan’s removal, favoring possible reconciliation with the mandate. The Indian delegation urges preserving the Sultan in Constantinople with spiritual power, opposing removal. Britain pushes for the Sultan to remain as head of Islam with limited temporal powers in Asia Minor, avoiding Ottoman empire dissolution. The plan aims to prevent prewar Turkish debt obliteration and shape a peace treaty, though US opinions differ. Armenia’s needs loom as debate centers on American troop involvement and security, with estimates of 50,000 to 100,000 troops needed for order and Armenian protection under naval policing.
