@cccc Negotiations ~Sarcasticnliy Conn
mented ON by Lord salisbury.
London Aug 3. - The Marquis of
Causbury replying In the house of
lords yesterday to the Earl of kim
beriey. who questioned the government
as TO the state Of peace negotiations
between Greece and Turkey, referred
to them In sarcastic tones. The pre-
mier said it was no wonder that the
patience Of many people was sorely
tried by the delay. The complexity and
multiplicity of the negotiations, he
added. might, however, account for
their length.
Speaking Of the indemnity to be paid
TO Turkey by Greece, the premier said:
There comes in the mysterious and
difficult question Of the German bond
holders. We do not think that any
international duty lies on Europe to
provide for the payments though 1 ad-
NIT they have been long unpaid"
with reference to Crete, Lord Sails
bury said: "The only solution seems
to be 70 dig a ditch across the island,
with the Christians on one side and
the Moslems on the other. Our earnest
object is to arrange what has been
promised, taking care to be just to both
sections. We are not inclined to ad-
init, merely because the Mussulmans
are in the minority, that their inter-
ests are to be neglected"
