Who work when they are hired.

Until 1t has been fired.

consequently the incapacaty to govern
Crete. the real, blunderer in the pending
near eastern question is not Turkey Or
Greece or Crete. but the protective pow
ers themselves.
In the first place. Prince Gortchakoff
cheered Crete with illusory promises.
When King George welded the Grand
Duchess Olga and made her Queen Of
Greece the Gar Alexander II was ex-
pected in diplomatic circles to bestow
Crete upon her as dowry. In 1870 Odo
Russell said to Bismarck: Il am for CIV
Ing Crete to the Greeks" But as Lord
Beaconsfield was for leaving the island
under Turkish sway the matter ended
there.
The protective powers first announced
that they would give a measure of home
this sense to the sublime porte dated
March 2. 1897. On the 10Th following the
admirals Of the combined fleet issued a
proclamation In which Turkish interior
ence in Cretan affairs WAS prohibited, and
Ottoman troops were obliged to evacuate
the island. In November. 1893. the pow
ers addressed a memorandum note to
the King Of Greece and Prince George
recognizing autonomous government in
Crete, and, acting thereon, the prince
ed a constitution. The Turks, Of course,
protested.

for following the deceptive counsels OF
the powers. When. Octooer 8, 1908. east
ern Roumelia and Bulgaria united for
freedom Crete convoked her assembly
and declared union with Greece, and the
state officials and all troops subscribed to
an oath of allegiance to Greece. Greece
did nothing. the powers did nothing. Was
it inaneness that caused this halting. hest
tation? No. NJ. Theotokis was told that
Great Britain forbade the union with
Greece" And this is the key to the
enigma OF the policy Of the protective
powers in Crete.

the startled crew and passengers got
