.ENGLAND'S POSITION
Great 'ritain's Attitude in the
Crete Dispute.
AUTONOMY FOR The ISLAND
To Remain Portion of the Turk
ish Empire.
POWERS TO EMPLOY FORCE

LONDON, February 25.-In the house of
lords today the Marquis of Salisbury, re-
plying to question from Lord Dunraven,
said that as the best means of placing the
house in possession of the facts of the
moment as regards Crete he would read a
telegram sent yesterday evening to the
British ambassadors to the courts of the
great powers. 1t was as follows: 9
Inform the government to which you
are accredited that her majesty's govern
ment purpose to make the following Gecla-
ration of the policy which they intend
to pursue and which they believe is in
accordance with the views of their allies:
Firstly, the establishment Of an admin
istrative autonomy in Crete a necessary
condition for the termination of the inter
national occupation.
Secondly, that. subject to the above con-
dition, all Crete ought, in their judgment
to remain a portion of the Turkish empire.
Thirdly. the Turks and Greeks should
be informed by the powers of this resolu-
ton.
'Fourthly, if Turkey or Greece shold
when required. persistenly refuse to with
draw their military and naval forces from
the island. the powers should impose their
decision by force upon the states refus-
ing.
Withdrawal of Troops.
The premier called special attention TO
the words, when required" adding that
il did OF follow, in the case of Turkey,
that her troops should be withdrawn i'm
mediately.
On the other hand, he explained, the
withdrawal of the Turkish troops was a
necessity of autonomy. Therefore, they
would have to withdraw except SO far as
they had been kept in the cases of the
Island of Samoa and Servia, simply as an
indication of sovereignty. For all effective
purposes and in respect of all influences
upon the government and daily life of the
inhabitants, the Turkish troops would evil
IDENTIFY have to be withdrawn when au-
tonomy was established.
The Greek troops, the premier imagined,
would be required by the powers to with
draw at aH~earlier date. He believed this
was the course the powers desired to pur-
sue; but he could not go further into de-
tail, believing that this was all that could
properly be said at this time, in view of
the powers acting in concert.
Continuing, the Marquis of Salisbury re-
marked.
OF course. If the proposals which her
ma1estys government have ventured to
present were recognized by the other pow
ers as those animating their policy, it is
impossible for the present state of things
IN crete to Indefinitely continue
