KICKS ON KIMBERLEY
Salisbury Complains That He Has Not Been
Quoted at all Fairly

! London, Eng, March 1e.-The Marquis
of Salisbury, in the house OF lords today,
| warmly complained of the speech of the
! Earl of Kimberly, the Liberal leader In
| that house, made recently before the meet
| ing of the National Liberal federation at
Norwich According to the premier, Lord
Kimberly misrepresented his remarks by
| declaring that he Qord Salisbury had re-
| ferred him to the speeches of NJ. Meline,
the French premier, and NJ. Hanotaux, the
French minister for foreign affairs, for an
explanation OF the policy which the govern
ment of Great Britain had followed in re-
| gard to the Cretan question. Lord Sails
| bury said he considered Lord Kimberly 8
action in the matter to be something of an
outrage. Lord Kimberly had not asked
him for personal statement of the policy
with the government intended to pursue,
but his lordship had questioned him as to
what course the powers had decided 10
adopt with respect to Crete, and he had
replied that the only fast now formally
known to the house of lords was that the
admirals had been instructed to blockade
the Island of Crete, adding that beyond
that an admirable statement of the policy
of the powers would be found in the speech
of the French statesman mentioned.
Another statement of Lord Kimberly's.
continued the premier, was that he had
found from the statement made by NJ.
Hanotaux that the policy of the powers
was TO maintain the integrity of the Otto
man Empire and that he refused TO accept
a policy with that end in view. This was
a momentous statement which, if made at
all. should be made in parliament.
Lord Kimberly himself. the premier add
- n1n- 1S no h.
which the integrity of Turkey was made
part OF the law of Europe. Lord Kimberly
would probably again hold the Office of
| foreign minister. Would he then announce
that he was pledged to disregard the policy
which had been so solemnly adopted.
For the first time a man who has been
| foreign minister. and who viii probably
be so again, has declared in the face Of
Europe that he disregarded an engage
ment and would tear Il up. l wish 10 sever
myself from that declaration. I do not hold
that the doctrines of the integrity Of Tur-
key could not be modified in the future
but il would be with the consent OF the
| powers who believed that If international
law was not kept, the peace of Europe
was worth a very few years purchase"
