the Exchcquer, refused to answer this hypo-
thetica question, it had the effect OF drawing
from the Rt.-Hon. William Edward Forster
Liberal member for Bradford, statement cx-
pressive Of the greater confidence which
is felt BY the Opposition OF the
tmprobablity OF England's becoming
involved In the war. Afr. Forster said:
t'Speaking for myself and others, We should
not have yielded to the Governments desire to
avoid debate on the Eastern question II we had
any reason to fear that the Government was
likely, during the recess, to drag the country
Into war, or tuyoive it in any breach Of neutral
fty. We have most carefully considered every
thing that has been written and said by the
Government, and, looking at their last dis
patches, we feel convinced they intend to abide
by the policy Of strict neutrality Tint being
the case, do not think it necessary to do more
than remind you Of tho responsibility under
which they le." This statement seems tudi-
catiyc Of the easier feeling generally prevalent,
which Is largely due to Earl Bcaconsdcld's re-
cent statement In the House Of Lords.
