THE TINES on THE SITUATION.
Tho Times to-day in leading article argues that It is
fallacy to say Turkey is an independent member of
The European system The right OF Powers TO
Intervene in her affairs was long ago established We
have, not morally only, but a matter of intcrna-
nona lcw, the right TO see that justice is done the
Portes Christian subjects Another falacy is that TO
maintain unabridged tho authority OF the Porte
throughout the Ottoman Empire, Is In tho interest OF
England and essential condition Of every peace
which We could be party.
EyGLASD's EASTERN POLICY
Those who assert most strongly this necessity OF up
holding tho Portes authority speak of 1t as tho policy
Of England and refer IL tradition OF the highest
wisdom OF the last generation No statement can be
more historically untrue All that is permanent in
English policy in the East may be summed up in a
sentence That we desire to reduce to minimum the
disturbance involved IN every inevitable change Hap
pity for us this notion of maintaining everything
changed IN Southeastern Europe In the interest of
England has been dsproved by events
