Gladstonc's Policy on the Eastern
Question.
LONDON, July 24th.-In the House of Coma
mons last night, during debate on the con
dition of Armenia, the Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs said the Government would
not be satisfied with general promises from
the Porte, but as the Government was acting
in concert with other Powers. it was impossi-
BILE for him now to explain the details of the
reforms which they were demanding, or the
steps they were taking eo press them on the
Porte.
Sir Wilfred Lawson (Radical) declared that
he would oppose any warlike demonstration
against Turkey as earnestly as under the late
Government. He had opposed the demon
stration against Russia.
Henry Labouchere Uiberal) protested
against meddling with matter that does not
concern us, either in Armenia or elsewhere.
Premier Gladstone denied that the Gov
ernment was under any obligation to say
whether policy of coercion would be adopted
or not. The House must be content, he said,
to rely on the general rule, that it is to the
general interest of the Government to make
Parliament acquainted with its policy. He
inferred from the debate that the Govern
ment would receive support from all sides in
its endeavors to induce the Porte to carry out
reforms.
