Euglaud'a Position Toward Turkey
LoxpoS. Nov. 30.--The Tmes and Daily
.g,r. uuquAliaedly approve Derby's de-
claration regarding England's policy In
the Eat. Those Journals. which usually
support the Government nnd them very
unsatisfactory. The Tines says; Lord
Derby has at Last. we may presume, re-
turnei . fnal answer to the clamors Tor
war with Russia 10 defence OF Turkey. and
his words will give perfect satisfaction 70
the great majority Of his co~untrymen.''
The Standard says: AT . time when
the Government 10 sccused Of not knowing
Its own mind. and Of not having . definite
policy on the eastern question. the country
will read with interest Earl Derby's speech
10 the deputation which waited on him
Yesterday, TO inform him that Constants.
nople was In danger, and thai he really
ought 10 do something. especially II he
could got Austria to help him. The For
sign Secretary was able 10 point oct that
the policy Of the present government, TO-
wit, the abandonment Of Turkey except 80
far - our own interests required hat We
should resist her enemies, was resolved
upon, and declared even before tbs Agi.
tation concerning the outrages In
Bulgaria. Having thus treasured his
audience that the policy OF the gov
ernment was not declared BY 81. James
Hall and would not DO altered by II, Lord
Derby was able TO say /: We have spoken
In a. strong terms as diplomatic usage
would permit OF the necessity Of not allow
lar .uaNsnttnna 20 paaa iulO nthRr
hands than those which now hold IL.
Upon that point l can only refer you 70
the language bold at tho beginning. OF the
war. from which we do not intend 70 de.
part In the slightest degree" Lord
Derby's second point was that. although
we need not yet talk Of Intervention. still
should II come to that, we could no rely
on Austria. One deputation bad said that
Austria would do something II England
would encourage her. The reply was 81.
plicit. ~ think I can lay claim for my.
self that I have missed no opportunity Of
knowing what are the feelings Of the Aus
trian government, and I content myself
with expressing my dissent from this
opinion"
The Standard. however. finds cause for
dissatisfaction. In tho absence Of any ref
erencc TO the possibility Of . separate
peace between Russia and Turkey, and
says. In conclusion England has . stake
In the issue Of the conflict which II IL i'm.
possible for her 70 forget or ignore. OF
the b~ystanders, she Ia tho most nearly In
terested In either Of tho only two possible
results OF the battle-the total collapse Of
Turkey. or Q private arrangement between
her and Russia. Any day may bring
Us news Of either event, and when that
time comes, how shall 70 be prepared
for it2 That 10 y question which the En-.
glish people are now asking themselves,
aud We are sorry that Earl Derby cannot
give us anything more comforting than
the wcll.worn assurance that Constantine
pie shall not pass into Russian hands.
