vryed the implica ion that 1t was his belief that

opposed the vote as long as it was possible. that
it might encourage the Turks to prolong the

In justification OF this course. he pointed to
the Ministry's energetic repudiation Of desire

8 ous Of sympathy for the Christians Of Turkey.
Sir Stafford, Norshcote expressed his sa'isfac-
ton at Lord Hartngtons speech. He ex-
piained the governments policy as follows:
