Crete Crisis Sparks War Talks In British Debate
In the British House of Commons on March 2 the focus was Crete and the Turkish-Greek conflict. George Curzon read telegrams from the British admiral in Cretan waters noting insurrectionists looted a blockhouse after resisting food supplies to Turkish forces and that foreign warships would force obedience if needed. The debate touched Ireland's tax relations, Crete’s status, and a call to reduce the prime minister’s salary, with Curzon denying government pro-Turkey alignment as Irish MPs challenged the stance.
