This volume is a collection of essays, as well as the text of the treaty and letters to and from members of the government. The basis for the Committee's opposition to the treaty is that it does not punish the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide. Moreover the Committee asserts the right of Armenians to an independent state supported by the United States. The essays attack the issue from a variety of standpoints, including humanitarian, on the basis of honor, and as a matter of economic/political weakness--specifically, in that the treaty ended foreign "rights" to extraterritorial privileges within Turkey. A common thread is that most of the essays are from a Christian standpoint: the writers assert that the killing of Armenians is especially terrible because they are Christians being killed by Muslims, or that the treaty itself is anti-Christian.
