mere level of i I i party that though contrary to practice prac-tice to remark upon the internal poll I tics of other states I may Ire permitted without impertinence to congratulate him upon the splendid pronouncement the great people he represents have made in behalf of the principles which lie at the base of all human society i i Cheers You are aware that in the discussion had with the United States on behalf of their friends in Venezuela our question has not been whether i there should be arbitration but whether arbitration should have unrestricted I un-restricted application and we have always al-ways claimed that those who apart from historic right had the right which attaches to established settlements should be excluded from arbitration Our difficulty for months has been

the same lapse of time which protects the latter in civic life from losing their title similarly protects an English colony but beyond that when a lapse could not be claimed there should be an examination ex-amination of title and all the equity demand in regard thereto should be granted S I do not believe I am using unduly sanguine words when I declare my belie be-lie that this has brought the controversy con-troversy to an end Loud cheers NO SMALL SATISFACTION I is a matter of no small satisfaction satisfac-tion to the government that at a time I I when anxious social questions which I are far more important than the political po-litical questions which are troubling I the United States and therefore troubling the world we should remove any semblance of political difference that might hinder common action in defense of the common heritages of society We have had an anxious year at the foreign office but we have floated into a period of comparative calm and I do not intend to trouble you with matters mat-ters that have passed away Lord Salisbury then proceeded to the Turkish question He repeated the arguments guments against Great Britain taking isolated action against the porte and hf I th ft tht th milt I I occupation of Turkey would be u necessary neces-sary if such action were taken He pictured the risk of an European war and then said that the six great powers must act in concert Anyone of these powers was able to veto the other They had firm ground for differences of opinion The motives influencing the British government must influence all conscientious rulers Her conscientous majestys government he added had been urged by the Right Hon John Morley and others to abandon its policy of the past and renounce certain lands in which case the foreign powers would accept Great Britains policy He did not believe be-lieve in anything of the sort At all events he did not see any cause to abandon the policy hitherto pursued ort or-t relinquish an acre of ground now occupied oc-cupied by the British Cheers Continuing Lord Salisbury declared that the concert of Europe seemed to be In a more favorable condition to extirpate I ex-tirpate the terrible disease in the east than ever before He eulogized the 4 speech made on Tuesday last by M Hanotaux the French foreign minister in the chamber of deputies He did not he said expect that France would try to baffle the action of the bafe acton European concert S con-cert while he added the triple alliance tIple alance had always been in sympathy with the question British doctrine regarding the eastern queston REPUDIATION Lord Salisbury repudiated the idea that there was a necessity of permanent perma-nent antagonism between Great Britain and Russia Cheers Such an idea was a superstition of antiquated diplomacy diplo-macy He had he said goO ground for believing that Russia ha the same views He did not desire to imply that there was any power with Which Great Britain wou d specially aqt He only I protested against the idea that any opponent power was specially Great Britains He would not say there would be a difficulty in concurring in any scheme a to exercise force if the other powers agreed
