LONDON, July 80. 1873
The debate on Lord Hartington's resolution
against the governments Eastern policy, which
began last evening in the House Of Commons IL
regarded as the most important which will have
taken place in Parliament in many years At half
past five O'Clock Lord Harrington moved his rcso
luton. The motion was received with cheering on
the liberal side Of the House, especially among the
radicals. The House was not very much crowded
LORD HARTINGTON's SPEECH
Lord Harrington said n very inadequate idea OIL
the Treaty or Berlin was to be derived IRON mere
contrast OF its provisions with those OF the Treaty
OF San Stefano. Russia, previous to the war;
made demands which did not go anything
Ike so far as the Treaty Of Berlin yet Eng.
land never approved them nor urged them upon
Turkey. He said he did not make serious charge
against the government regarding Greece, as the
other governments shared the responsibility; but
the British government had incurred special re-
sponsibilty In the promises given to Greece, which
had not been fulfilled.
HOW THEY ENDORSED THE LIBERAL POLICY
II the conservative party accepted the amend
anent Of Mr. Piunkett, he said. they approved the
conduct OF the liberals, who throughout endeav-
ored 70 induce the government to refrain from
war
GENERALLY PLEASED WITH THE TREATY
Lord Harrington generally approved the treaty
OF Berlin, as-although not nnal settement-it
lett the future OF tho Turkish dominions to he de-
termined by natural causes, uninfuenced
by foreign military domination. He made
powerful attack upon the Anglo-Turkish
Convention, and asked II the British Government
would have deemed similar agreement between
Russia and Turkey UNSUITABLE. The island OF Cyprus
was useless for the defence OF Asia Minor Even
granting the governments contention that me-
tha ttv
had been created by themselves by not advising
Turkey to accept the original terms Of peace, which
would not have materially Increased Russias
domnions In Asia.
NO INTERESTS THLRE
He denied the existence OF British interests in
Asia Minor, as that was not the road to India and
demonstrated that the governments utterances
mp to the close OF the war showed that they were
Of the same opinion. He pointed to the Tri-
paftlte treaty OF 1855 to show the impossible ity
or binding postcrity by guarantee. BY the
present Convention the government had advanced
the time OF conflict surprising there was to be one,
by hundred years. 'we left frontier, he said
with which the best military authorities of INDIA
were content, and placed ourselves close to the
resources OF our supposed enemy" He wanted
to Know whether such policy, which would com
pei England to exercise a general protectorate
over Turkey, was not rghtfully described as insane
He considered Lord Bcaconsded's remarks on Mr.
Gladstone insulting to the queen and the country
Of whom that statesman once had the confidence.
NOT SNOWY ENOUGH.
The government might nave assisted the Sultan
In the work OF reform. Then, when some progress
had been made, have asked Parliament for means
to prevent the work from being interIered with
But this would not have been a snowy policy
Lord Harrington said In conclusion that 1t might
have been wiser. from party point OF view, to
postpone his motion until 1t could reap advantage
from public disappointment But he considered it
more patriotic to enable the country while there
was yet time to retreat from an unfortunate
course. lie spoke one hour and forty minutes
THE AMENDMENT.
The Ron. Randle Plunkett moved, as vote OF
confidence, his amendment, expressing the hope
that the governments efforts would preserve
peace, maintain the interests OF the Empire and
ameliorate the condition Of the East Mr. Punkett
declared 1t wasquite obvious to Russia that Eng
land would never rccede from her obligations In
regard to Asia Minor. 1t was not an English Gus
tom to avoid responsibilities because they were
unprecedented.
1T BECOMES GENERAL
Sir Charles Dixie believed the Convention would
ultimately and inevitably lead 10 war with Russia
The tendency OF those arrangements was to make
England dependency of India.
captain Cochrane, member for the Isle OF Wight
and the Hon David H. Plunket member for Dub
lin University, supported the amendment.
