HART1NGroN's RESOLUTION.


received with cheers on the liberal side of
the house, especially among the radicals. Lord
Harrington said very inadequate idea of the
treaty Of Berlin was to be derived from 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 like SO far as the treaty of Berlin, yet
England never approved them or urged them
upon Turkey He said he did not make Sc
rious charge against the government regarding
Greece, as other governments shared the re-
sponsibility. But the British government had
incurred special responsibility in the promises
given to Greece which had not been fulfilled.
1t the conservative party accepted the amend
ment of Mr.. Plunkett he said they approved
the conduct of the Liberals, who, throughout,
had endeavored to induce the government to
refrain from war.
Lord Harrington generally approved the
treaty OF Berlin as, although not final settle
ment, it left the future of the Turkish domin-
ions to be determined by natural causes, unin-
Huenced by foreign military demonstration.
He made powerful attack upon the Anglo
Turkish convention and asked if the British
government would have deemed a similar
agreement between Russia and Turkey justif-
able. The island of Cyprus was useless for the
defense of Asia Minor. Even granting the
governments contention that necessity ex-
listed for the convention the necessity had
advising Turkey to accept the original terms of
peace, which would not have materially in
creased Rnssia's dominions in China, he de-
MED the existence of British interests in Asia
Minor, as that was not the road to India, and
demonstrated that the governments utterances
up to the close OF the war showed they were of
the same opinion. He pointed to the tripartite
treaty of 1856, to show the impossibility of
binding posterity by guarantee. At the
present convention the govern 'iient had advanc-
ed the time of conflict supposing there to
be one, by one hundred years. We left
frontier, he said, with which the best mill
tary 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 compel England to exer-
else a general protectorate over Turkey, was
not rightfully described as insane. He con-
sidered Beaconsfield's remarks on Gladstone
insulting to the queen and to the country of
whom that statesman once had the confidence
The government might have assisted the sui
tan In the work of reform, then when some
progress had been made, have asked parlia-
ment for means to prevent the work from be-
ing interfered with. But this would not have
been snowy policy
Harrington said in conclusion that it might
have been wiser, from party point of view to
postpone his motion until it could reap adj
vantage from public disappointment, but he
considered 1T more patriotic to enable the
country, while there was yet time, to retreat
from an unfortunate cause.
Randall Plunkett moved, as a vote Of con-
fdence, his amendment, by expressing the hope
that the governments efforts would preserve
peace, maintain the interests of the empire,
and ameliorate the condition of the East.
Plunkett declared twas quite obvious to Russia
that England would never recede from her OBJ
legations IN regard to Asia Minor. 1t was not
an English custom to avoid responsibilities be-
cause they were unprecedented.
Sir Charles Dixie believed the convention
would ultimately and inevitably lead TO war
with Russia. The tendency of these arrange
ments was to make England dependency of
India.
Capt. Cochrane and David Plunkett supported
the amendment.
Evyln Ashley Liberal, supported Lord Har-
tington's motion. He considered the Anglo
Turkish convention sham, to be shufted out
OF as soon as convenient. The recent course of
foreign affairs had caused a growing feeling
that the prerogative of the crown ought to be
diminished.
Grant Duff Liberal, made bitter attack on
the convention.
Bourke. under secretary for the foreign de-
partment, believed England was never more
favorably regarded by all powers, or more in
tiuential. Replying to Harrington, he said the
government had not advised Turkey to accept
the original terms of peace because she was
then making gallant defense, and such advice
would have been fatal to English influence
Russia would only be hurt by the convention
II she cherished aggressive designs.
The debate was adjourned.
