BRITAIN'S WORLD POLICY.

RUSSIAN TRtBTJTE. ' i -. Hi tßLieiuWi-iMtitst *stoci«TitiM—coritttaatl (Rec. May 31, 10.10 p.m.) Bt. Petersburg, May 31. Russian newspapers quote extracts trow the Empire Day . supplement of ''The Times," The "Slovo" expresses profound admiration of the British understanding of world problems, especially the unswerving struggle for themaintenance of Eurepoim equilibrium. . ■ ,

[The "Slovo evidently dees jiot take its views from the pages el the Gentian "Vossisohe Zeitung," which recently offered tho following advice to Russia and France [—"Nothing can be more unpleasant for Great Britain than tho re-establishment of the authority of the Sultan Abdul Hamid.lf a regiiho not favoured by England is Set up, England is prepared to revive the question of Macedonian indopendence.' It would be .incomprehensible that Russia and France should continue blindly to follow England's lead in Near Eastern affairs as they did during the Balkan controversy. M, Isvolsky, in particular, changed his attitude from time to time as suited English wishes, and this resulted finally in tho complete diplomatic defeat of Russia. This example, as \rell as tho London Cabinot'B vacillating polioy toward the Young Turks, should tench ltussia and Prance the UndcSirablllty of entrusting the leadership in Balkan questions to King Ed- : Ward and his Ministers."]
