LORD SALISBURY SAYS IT CANNOT ALLOW CHRIS
TIAN COMMUNITIES TO BE SUBJECT


TIAN COMMUNITIES TO BE SUBJECT
70 THE SULTAN
London, May 1S-Speaking tonight at the
Junior Constitutional Club. Lord Salisbury
touched briefly on the complications in South
eastern Europe
He said that he regretted that political reasons
preciuded him from saying much the subject
of foreign affairs The armistice which had
been declared due to pressure exerted by
six Powers. especially by Russia. 1t was very
important step. giving time for reflection and
negotiation. but it did not seriously diminish
the difficulties which had to be faced. Neither
Turkey nor Greece ought to be- under an Illusion
as to the real state Of feeling in the United
Kingdom He had mentioned both countries, he
said. because in the dim future no one could
know to which OF the two it might become neces-
sary to appeal for a solution OF problems that
must be solved.
THE pecuarity Of this strange crisis. said
Lord Salisbury, "is that the war cannot be left
to work out its natural results 1t is Impossible
that Europe should allow Christian communities
10 fall under the Sultan's Government But IL
must not be supposed. because ms doc'flhe
throws its angis over Greece. that therefore she
is TO be free from all penalties attaching 10 uh-
wise or unrighteous action
And in this connection i may say that the
sending Of an address such as was sen. 10 'reece

ought in its thOughtlessness. to be recorded as
n disgrace TO the Commons. They are guilty. OF

OF those they affected 10 support
Continuing the Premier referred 10 the SYM
pathies of England for Greece as founded upon
classic associations, liberalism in politics ana

upon other Influences. but such considerations
as these he said, could not he su1ered TO gu'ue
