Looks Like War.
THE TROUBLE IN TURKEY.
A Difficult Position.
Mr Balfour Lets Light In.
(Press Association—Copyright). London, Yesterday. The Archbishop of Canterbury, in a letter to the Hon. A. J. Balfour, expressed the churchmen's anxiety regard* ing the Macedonian's suffering. The Hon. A. J. Balfour in the course of a sympathetic reply, said the Turkish misgoyernment and oppression of Christians was not the only question. Rival sects and nationalists, unimbued with western ideas of humanity, did not scruple to afflict eath other. Revolutionary committees deliberately adopted provocative measures in order to create Turkish excesses, and thus enlist' tha world's sympathies. Such measures were no more morally tolerable than the Turkish misgovernment. The best hope of improving Macedonia was European support of Russian and Austrian reforms. Britain had offered suggestions, but it would be folly to forget that, on some occasions, two Powers were stronger, for executive purposes, than three. *
