GLADSTONE'S APPEAL TO COMMONS WAS A MEMORABLE SPEECH

(Christian Science Monitor) ' In few things is the present world controversy concerning Turkey more remarkable than in the way of history repeating itself. Forty years or bo ago, the great anti-Turkish movement, which swept over Great Britain, , occasioned by the numerous outrages of the Turk upon the Bulgarian and other Christion people in the Bal kans, was led by Gladstone. In the early autumn of 1876 he suddenly emerged from the retirement into which . he . had recently withdrawn, and, -wthf the publication of his famous pamphlet on the Bulgarian atrocities, embarked on a campaign against the pro-Turkish policy of the government, which ended, four, years later, in the overthrow of Lord Beaconfield, and Gladstone's return to power. The extraordinary effort was marked by three tremenduoug battles, the great denunciation through the pamphlet, a memorable speech in the house of commons In the early days of the Russo-Turkish war, and the Midlothian campaign. In many ways the speech was the mosi remarkable of the three. "I shall never forget." declared Mr. Balfour, many years

afterward. "The impression that ppeech left on my mind. As a mere feat of physical endurance it was almost unsurpassed; as a feat of parliamentary skill, parliamentary endurance, and parliamentary eloquence. A Moment of Tension. The occasion of its delivery was

one of peculiar tension. A conference ' of the powers, which had met at ; Constantinople in the previous December, in an effort to settle the Turkish question, had broken down. A subse

quent effort in the following March had likewise failed, and Russia had declared war on Turkey. Mr. Gladstone was all for immediate action. His collegates in the opposition was in a peculiar position. Two years before he had vacated his place as leader of the Liberty party. Indeed, he did not regard himself as being even technically amongst the leaders of the party. He tried, therefore, at first, to induce the official leaders to act in the matter, but, on their continued refusal, decided that considerations of humanity overrode all mere party considerations, and determined to introduce a motion in the house, which if it had been accepted, would have completely reversed tho country's near eastern policy. "This day," Glad-

one-half hours. House gradually came around and at last was more than good. It was over at 9:30. Always Unequalley Thus simply does Mr. Gladstone record the matter, but many who heard him on that occasion must hare agreed with Mr. Balfour that they had listened to an effort which, In many respects, would "always he unequalled." The speech, however. Is. the thing. Take this one passage in what Lord Morley calls the "noble peroration," 'You talk to me of the established tradition and policy In regard to Turkey. I appeal to an established tradition, older, wider, nobler far-a tradition not which dis

regards British Interests, but which teaches you to eeek the promotion of these interests In obeying the dictates of honor and justice. And, sir, what is to be the end or this? Are we to dress up the fantastic Ideas Borne people entertain of this policy and then, with a new and base Idolatry, fall down and worship them?" Or in the garb of British interests, and take this appeal, made after describ

ing the enormities of the Turk as Gladstone alone could describe them; "But, sir, the removal of that woe and shame is a great and noble prize. It is a prize well worth competing for. It is not yet too late to try to win It. I believe there are men in

the cabinet who would try to win it. If they were free to act on their own beliefs and aspirations. If is not yet too late, I say, to become competitors for that Jrixe." The apposlteness of this appeal to the present day and hour Is something more than remarkable. The house was, In the end, as Gladstone puts it, "more than good." True, after five days of debate and party drilling, the motions were defeated by 254 votes to 223, but the speech was, none the less, one of the greatest ever won in the house of commons.
