While the situation looks somewhat more critical and more like possible ex-teueion ex-teueion of the war and Eogland'fl participation therein, there is still lillle real reason for apprehension, i England is demonstrating to forco 'Russia to Bhow her hand. She vociferates voci-ferates that Russia shall not close the peace negotiations without tbe approval ap-proval ef its terras by the powers. This is quite safe. Because Russia consistently maintains that her pending pend-ing arrangements with Turkey are provisional only. This means that tbey will not be considered final until after the great powers shall have time to consider them. When this consideration consi-deration is bad, England will surely find herself without an ally against Russia, because tbe latter will yield to all tbe others, whatever shall be necessary to etl'uct that end. The czar's policy is to isolate both Turkey and England, and he will succeed. England bos notified him of the conditions con-ditions upon whioh alone she will intervene, and he will therefore render such intervention impossible. Turkey, seeing this, haa only to surrender at discretion and accept tho beBt terms she can get. It is because Russia's position is really a guarantoe for peace that the English war party Beems be gaining strength. Parliament can afiord to menace Russia, when the lattor clearly neither needs nor will accept her challenge. |
