The situation in Crete is so remark
able that the government of the United
States would be justified in taking offi
cial cognizance thereof. Great Brit
ain, aided and abetted by the great
nations of Europe, has not only abso
lutely refused to prevent the Turks
from massacreing the Christians in
Crete, has not only absolutely refused
to permit Greece to land reinforce
ments, but has now instituted a com
mercial blockade of the Cretan ports,
and is now engaged in starving the
Christians into surrendering to their
oppressors. The Turks can receive
food, supplies and reinforcements, but
the Christians cannot.
And th is revolting crime of the na
tions, led by Great Prittain, is per
mitted and justified by the fact that
the English branch of the Rothschilds
own about ?ooo,ooo, 000 of Ottoman
bonds. This is Lord Salisbury's justi
fication. He has publicly declared
that the British government, as it
stands, cares nothing for patriotism
or Christianity, but everything for the
finacial interests of its citizens.
Judge's cartoon becomes significant
when we remember these things and
behold the spectacle presented by
Great Britain, a spectacle which has
excited the contempt of all honest
Britons and which threatens to over
throw the Salisbury government.
Under all the circumstances, we
think it would be well for the Senate
using its discretion, to lay the treaty
aside until the result of Great Britain's
anti-Chriatian campaign is made man
ifest. Atlanta Constitution.
THE SITUATION IN GREECE.
Speaking of the war-like situation
in Greece, Prince George says:
"You can say to America that the
Greek nation is ready and united.
