WHAT GLADSTONE SAYS
LONDON, Sept. 23.-The "Chroni-
cle'' publishes long letter from Glad
stone, addressed to Maurice Laudet of
the Paris Figaro" The letter was writ
ten in response to an appeal made by
Laudet to Gladstone to arouse the Eng
lish press in behalf of the Armenians.
Gladstone, after expressing his diffl-
dence in complying with the requests.
declares his belief that the population
of Great Britain is thoroughly reused
hy the present outrages in Turkey
Continuing he says:
THE question whether effect can be
given to the national indignation is now
in the balance and will probably be soon
decided. / have read in some Austrian
newspapers an affected Scruple against
sole action by any one State in a Euro
pean crisis, but there are two such cases
in recent times. One is that of Russia,
which in 1878 earned lasting honors by
liberating Bulgaria and helping onward
the freedom and security of the other
Balkan States. The other Power is
France, which in 1910 took up the cause
of Egypt and pushed it single-handed
to the verge of a European war. She
wisely forbore to bring about that horri-
BILE calamity, but / gravely doubt
whether she was not right and the COM
blred Powers wrong in their policy of
that period
Gladstone proceeds to denounce the
"Great assassin" and continues: For
more than a year he has been puzzled
over the diplomacy of six Powers They
have been laid PROSTATE at his feet.
There is no parallel in history to the
humiliation they have so patiently
borne. He has therefore had every en-
couragement to continue a course that
has been crowned with success. The i'm
pending question seems to be, not
where, but when and where he will pro-
ceed to his next murderous exploits.
The question for Europe and each
Power is whether he shall be permitted
to swell by more myriads the tremen-
dous total Of his victims.
I'm other years, when possessed the
power, / did my best to promote the con-
cert of Europe, but / sorrowfElly admit
that all the good done in Turkey dur
ing the last twenty years was done, not
by it. but more nearly despite it,
The letter concludes by expressing the
hope that the French people will pur-
sue a policy worthy of their greatness,
their fame and the high place they have
held in European Christian history.
