ment. or OF his Ministers according 10
information that has just come TO light.
The motive OF the executions Is Oh
ecure. but the inclusion among the nine

preston OF the idea OF a Constituent
Assembly.
When the Sail was opened on the night

at first refused to leave their cells and
it is said they were threatened with
being shot L. they persisted. They were
told. 1t is reported, that the authority
OF omsi had been seized by the Bol-
sheviki.
The following day when it became
clear that the plot had failed the Gov
eminent issued a proclamation urging
those who had been released TO return
to prison under pain OF court-martial.
The military authorities and the Minister
Of Justice appealed to the relatives OF

ing that nothing like them shall ever
take place again. More ominous than
these outgivinks is the fact that certain
spokesmen irl> behalf OF the Turk are
making themselves heard In the allied
countries"
Then Mr.. Morgenthau stated his con-
viCtion that Turkey never can be re-
formed and pointed to the ignominious
failure of numerous attempts in that d.
rection. It has been. he said, policy
of folly and misery. 1t caused terrible
war from 1854 TO 1856, which accom-
plished nothing.
Incapable Politically.
The Turk continued to balance one
power against another himself being in
capable politically. He was always
helped by the theory maintained In Eng
land and elsewhere that the preservation
Of Turkish power was Indispensable to
British foreign policy, a view based on
old time British fear and jealousy OF
Russian aggression. Palmerston led In
this policy. but Richard Golden and
John Bright saw more clearly.
They saw that the problem OF Tur-
key was not chiefly problem in the
balance of power" said Mr.. Morgen-
than. but one that affected the lives OF
speech John Bright ever made was
against the Crmean war. Golden ridi-
culed the fear that prevailed everywhere
against Russia. lie declared that the
Turkish Empire could not be maintained
and that Turkey was not reformable. nor
worth preserving. He could not under
stand why England should fight for the
preservation of Mohammedanism.
Does the Peace Conference intend TO
repeat history and salve the Eastern
question in the old familiar way, or does
It really intend to dispose OF the Turk
Ssh question for good and all" The Rus
sian terror has disappeared. England
no longer fears a Russia stationed at
Constantinople. Lloyd George and his
associates have adopted Gladstones idea
OF public right as the governing idea OF
