The Peace of Europe.
IMPORTANT SPEECH BY LORD SALISBURY. (Per Press Association.) London, May 7. Lord Salisbury, in addressing a meeting of the Primrose League, said that it was tho desire of the Government to restrain Greece in her recent action. The exhibition of obstinacy and the lack of wisdom displayed by that Power was without parallel in recent history, No efforts would be spared to seenro peace. The Powers had succeeded in their main object of preventing a Euro pean war, and were now more closely united and on better terms of friendship than for many years. The threatened opening up of tho Eastern question had been averted, aud if Turkey collapsed there was uo need of the fear of a general war. Tho whole matter had hueu a great triumph for diplomacy, and apart from the local conflict between Turkey and Greek, the peace of Europe was ou a sound basis.
