THE PROROGATION OF PARLIA
MENT.
THE EASTERN POLICY OF THE
GOVERNMENT.
In the speech from the Throne at the
prorogation of Parliament it was stated
that the foreign relations of Great Britain
were friendly. Regret was expressed that
the efforts of the Government to maintain
peace had proved unsuccessful It was
further stated thatitwastheintentionof the
Government to continue neutral so long as
British interests remained unaffected. The
extent and nature of those interests had been
denned in a diplomatic note addressed to
Russia, which had elicited a friendly reply.
The speech further intimated that
should the opportunity occur the best
efforts of the Government would be
directed to restore peace on terms com
patible with the honour of the belligerents
and the general safety and welfare of
other nations. If, however, during the
contest the interests of Great Britain
were assailed or endangered Her Majesty
relied with confidence on the assistance of
Parliament in vindicating and maintain
ing them.
