: BRITIsHI THREAT TO RUssIA.s
Move TO Establish Naval Base In Per.
sian Gulf Would Mean War.


LONDON, May 0. Another important
change in the international political situa-
ton is recorded by Lord Transformers inn
portant announcement in the House of Lords
last evening in regard to the British policy
on the Persian Gulf
Il say without hesitation" he declared.
that we should regard the establishment
Of a naval base or a fortified port in the
Persian Gulf by any other Power as very
grave menace to British interests, and we
should certainly resist it with all the means
at our disposal"
He commended that 30 far as the Persian
Gulf was concerned Great Britain held
position different from that Of the other
Powers, both because it was owing to
British enterprise and expenditure Of life
and money that the Gulf was now open
to the commerce of the world and because
the protection Of the sea route to India
necessitated British predominance in the
Gulf.
1t has been clearly evident for some
time that Russia desired to develop her
plans of aggrandizement in two quarters
before proceeding to execute her designs
against Ottoman rule in Constantinople
One was Manchuria and North China
There the United States interviewed with
protest, which promises to he cffectual
for the time being The other was Persia,
where Russas ultimate object was TO
secure an outlet to the sea in tho Persia u
Gulf. Great Britain now supplies check
mate to this ambition by declaring that
she will meet its execution with war,
This decisive move marks a wholesome
renewal OF vitality and vigor in British
policy. 1t alters the whole complexion Of
the general crisis which is arising in Euro
pean affairs. The Russian efforts in both
the directions indicated are for the present
paralyzed. The chief motives which led
Russia to hold in check the Balkan troubles
by every means in her power are thereby
removed. The only remaining reasons
why Russia should continue her present
policy in Macedonia and Bulgaria are her
partial unpreparedness for an immediate
campaign against Turkey and the serious
unrest within her own borders.
The next few days will probably bring
some indication OF whether the Russian
plans have been changed. 1t is not at all
possible that her reply to Lord Ians-
downe's militant threat will he the first
move in the plan which will eliminate in
the march Of Russian troops against Con-
stantinople. II is safe to say that there
will be no British threat Of war to thwart
her in that direction.
But it is folly to attempt to forecast with
any confidence the action of Russian diplo-
macy. The Car sGovernment received with
in week two rebufs of almost terrific
violence, each from an unexpected quarter.
They may bring immediate retaliation or
they may be received in Muscovite silence.
