SPEECH BY LORD SALISBURY.
" 1 <• ' ■" THE MONROE DOCTRINE. THE ATROCITIES IN ARMENIA. GREAT BRITAIN AND HER COLONIES. : Press Association.-— Telegraph.—Copyright, London, February 1. The Premier, addressing the Nonconformist Unions, strongly supported the original Monroe doctrine, but denied they were bound to fight over it. As 1 regards the Armenian difficulty, he 1 asserted that although the horrors equalled those of Tamerlane, he doubted whether the Sultan ordered them. None of the Powers, he said, wished to occupy Armenia, and lie preferred to rely on the prestige and goodwill of the Sultan. Individual action might produce terrible calamities. The recent troubles were the outcome of the anxiety to defend the colonies whose sympathise and support were welcome. Something greater than formulas and statutes was driving the Empire together, and a strong expression denoting federation was invited. He did not care for isolation abroad if united at home.
