We referred a fortnight ago to the need Greece has

for a peaceable and competent Government, and we greatly doubt that the revolution has brought her nearer to any such thing. General Pangalos has not a majority in the Chamber, nor has he persuaded men of experience to join the Government. He has with difficulty secured the support of the Republican Union. Yugo-Slavia's suspicions of Greek intentions become more acute and she sees an end put to the negotiations over the Salonika Railway. The population seems complacent, if not bored, as though they held their Governments in some contempt. It is not a good sign that they should show no resentment against the military Chauvinism which prompts such a revolution, however little they may believe in its ultimate success.
