like so far the Treaty of Berlin yet England never
approved them, urged them upon Turkey. He said
he does make serious charge against the Govern
ment regarding Greece the other Governments share
the responsibility. But the British Government has in
Cured special responsibility in the promises gwen to
Greece which have not been fulfilled. II the Conserva
