TIE UNITED IINGDOM LolxDO Maroh IL-The Times, in a leading editorial to.day, approves the moderation of tone of Lord Hartinton's address, and cars hl Irish poliey is one the country will heartlly approve, whether oarried out by Liberals or Cooservatives. With reward to Lord Harting. ton's assertion that the polley of the sovern. ment in Bastern Burope has utterly failed, the 2mnsesalso says: "On the Continent this opine ion does not prevail. Germany and Austria have heartily approved and supported British polley, and in Buesia there is a bitter felling of disappointment over the sueooes of that polloer. The Ti.es thinks, furthermore, that the statement of Lord Rartington to the effeot that the Liberals have sought to tncrease the linau. enee of England in the councils of Europe with as muoh sinoority and with more euouess than the Oonservatives. might be disputed.

Germany and Austriahave heartily approved and supported Britishpolley, and in Buesia there is a bitter felling ofdisappointment over the sueooes of that polloer.
The Ti.es thinks, furthermore, that thestatement of Lord Rartington to the effeot thatthe Liberals have sought to tncrease the linau.enee of England in the councils of Europewith as muoh sinoority and with more euouessthan the Oonservatives. might be disputed.
