The blockade, Mr. Curzon said, was a measure of police, enforced with the consent of the sovereign jxnver. Mr. Curzon also said that Sir Philip Currle. ' British Ambassador at Constantinople, had. been instruc ted to urge uim the representatives of the Powers, as well as upon the Porte, the idea! that th withdrawal of the Turkish troops from Crete would greatly facilitate the with drawal of the Greeks from the island.
