ENGLAND'S NEUTRALITY IN THE EASTERN WAR.
LONDON, November AT the Lord
Mayors banquet tonight the Earl OF Bea-
consfield, replying to toast to her Majesty's
ministers, declared in strong terms that the
Government unsweryingly adhered to the
declaration they made at the commence
ment OF the war that British neu-
trality must cease il British interests
were assailed or menaced. He believed
this policy OF remaining neutral except
in defence of English interests was the best
policy not only for England, but for Tur-
key, as it had enabled Turkey to display an
amount OF yigor and force which had de-
monstrated her right to be recognized
among the sovereign Powers, and had diSsi-
pated the formerly current belief that the
people were etete.
Lord Beaconsteld concluded: The Gov
eminent has both hope and patience with
respect to the war, and l trust the time Is
not far distant when with the rest OF the
Powers we may contribute to settlement
OF difficulties which may secure the peace
and independence OF Europe.
