active policy.
WHY THE TIME WAS SELECTED
The Times Berlin correspondent says:-"Thc
date for the publication OF the Anglo-Turkish
treaty Is supposed to have been selected with a
'iew to avoid ulterior complications. If the Bcr.
lin peace Is signed by Russia with the knowi.
edge OF the existence OF the AngO-Turklsh
Treaty the latter treaty cannot hereafter be
alleged by Russia as q reason for impugning the
validity OF the Berlin instrument; whereas, should
Russia now decline TO adhere to the Berlin treaty,
unless modified to suit the position which super
vened since the publication OF the Anglo. Turkish
treaty she must prepare the troubles she wished
to avoid when going to Berlin"
