The Annexation of savoy.
From the London Star 7thI
So we are to have another debate upon the ap.
pretended annexation of Savoy. Mr.. Kingake
last night gave notice Of motion which will at
least have the merit Of raising distinct question in
definite form. He proposes that the House of
Commons shall address the British Crown upon
movement undertaken or contemplated by a for
eign Power. That is, obviously and necessarily.
deviation from the rule of policy to which English
statesmen of all parties have of late assented and
which the late and present Government equally
claim to have observed.
The policy OF non-interferenee in other peoples
affairs applies not only as between foreign powers
and their subjects but also as between two or more
of these powers. There is virtually an end of that
policy if the House of Commons thinks fit to sit in
Judgment upon the acts and Intentions of other
Governments than that over which it las legiti.
mate control. The difference between moral and
material forces is not SO broadly marked that ma
tion resolved not TO fight can hold itselffree to
pronounce Q formal condemnation on every pro-
ceeding which ii rightcously detests. But some
thing more than this is proposed by Mr.. Kinglake.
He will move for address that counses the Queen
to CONCERT with other powers the means OF prevent
ing France from extending her frontiers. That is
to say, lie proposes not only war in the spirit of
that which was commenced in 1888 and concluded
In 1915 but also continental coalition like that
series Of coalitions which eliminated in the Holy
Alliance.
Thus history repeats itself; but only thns-only
id the imaginaions Of dreamers or in the intrgues
Of schemers. Civilization does not turn hack-the
stream or time does not roll upward, though its
margin may widen and contract. We do
not say that England and France will never go to
war that would be bold prophecy in an age
when every discovery Of science or invention Of
ingenuity seems instantly applied to purposes OF
destruction, and when the mightiest nation on
earth il capable Of panics no less dangerous than
degrading.
But the danger of war of any sort diminishes
every year that peace is preserved and commerce

that never more will these two great nations fight
never more will they combine one against the
other, upon grounds and for objects like those
which Dir. Kinglake's motion represents. It is only
in some Git Of frenzy, the result Of intolerable
goading Of inexplieabe delusion, that countries
which have such vast stake in the preservation of
peace will hazard everything upon the game Of
war This Savoy business, dlsgraceful as it is to
