LORD SALISBURY ON THE OUTBREAK.
London, March 3.
In the course of a speech Lord Salisbury said the Moslems in Crete intensely objected to the union with Greece, and there was no evidence that the Christians desired it either. The wisest course was to receive the liberty of action. If later on Cretans desired union the Powers were unlikely to resist. If Greece gained the territory now a signal would be given to dismember Turkey, and it would embroil Europe. It was difficult to persuade the Powers to agree to the withdrawal of Turkish troops.
