The Council finally objected that Greece herself would be open
to invasion. M. Venezelos expressed his deep die- appointment. Such an opportunity might never occur again. He told his interviewer that he would shortly lay his views before a series of public meetings in Greece. If he does so, we expect that the effect will be very great. Public opinion is apparently already on his side. We shall not venture to say what course we think Greece would be well advised to take. She must, of course, decide for herself without any sort of interference or veiled intimidation from abroad. Bat judging the situation as dispassionately as we can on the facts, we should say that it will be surprising if the Greek nation does not compel M. Venezelos to return to power. He has served Greece brilliantly so far, and his countrymen have learned to respect Ids judgment and to believe in his good fortune.
