THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31st, 1903
THE PREMIER ON MACEDONIA. | are chief among the considerations which should
guide us at the present juncture.
Balkans:-
The following lotter was written last month by the Prime Minister to the Archbishop of Canterbury, conserning the situation in the Beptember 24th, 1903. 3 My dear Archbishop. Your letter, giving me au account of the growing anxiety among Churohmon lest ang step should be omitted which. might diminish the sufferings of the Mace donian population, has caused me no surprise. I entirely sympathise with the feelings of horror and of indignation which the present position of affairs in Bouth-Eastern Europe must excite in the heart of every humans man; and I san well understand the desire to give overt expression, by public meetings or otherwise, to the burning contiments of reprobation which recent events have so unhappily justified. Nor do I offer objection to this course. I would not, if I could, put any check upon the action of those with whose aims (if I understand them rightly) I am is complete accord; provided always that action is according to knowledge If it be not, we run a serious danger of loving unromedied the ills we see, and adding to the atliers, the possibility of which we have, in our haste, most culpably ignored.
There are some saliout clereouts in the pressut situation too often forgotten, which it is yet of the utmost importance that those who desire (55 do those for whom you speak) not merely to talk about Macedonian wrongs, but to care them, should have present to their minds. It must be remembered that we have not now to deal with the simple case but too familiar in our experience--the case, I mean, of mis-govern- meat and oppression by Turkish officials of a more or less homogeneous Christian population. The problema is in Macedonia complicated by the fact that the Christian population is itself rent into fragmente by differences of races, aggravated by differences of religion; and that, in addition to all the ille indicted by a corrupt and incapable administration, by an ill-paid and indisciplined soldiery, and by a detestable system of taxation, we have to reckon with all the ills which, in a population not fully imbued with Western ideas of humanity, rival sacts and rival nationalities do not scruple to iofist upon eno another.
{
We bear in mind that the difficulties of the task have a tæp-fold origis. They arise partly, from the complicated laternational problems which the Macedonian question raisos. Neither Russia, nor Austria, nor Turkey can remain indifferent to territorial redistributions in the Ponfatale, eblio Grace, Bulgaria, Harvia, Roumania, are all profoundly interested in the fate of a provioco whose Christian population is made up of all four nationalities.

A.PEACE FLAG.
The Universal Peace Congress which ant list month at Rouen has been torn into conflicting factions by the introduction, or rather by the hint of the Introduction, of a design for an international peace tag. At the 'congress at Monaco it was decided to appoint a committee to consider the question of an international peace fag, The Prince of Monaco went on a sit to the derman Emperor at Kiel, aud ona evening at dinner anggested to him the DEVON AND en of designing a pesce g.

This they did at the very moment when the intervention of Austria and Bussin gave ronsonable ground for hoping that some romedy more effectual then empty professions would be applied to their country's ills. Their responsibility is great indeed.
