The new Greek Ministry held a farcical plebiscite on Sunday,

to determine whether the ex-King should be recalled. The supporters of M. Venizelos abstained from voting. The ex- King's agents were left to secure a formal victory. When the Greek people realize that they have alienated their best friends and encouraged their enemies, they may repent of their ingratitude to M. Venizelos. They were told that the fall of M. Venizelos would enable the army in Asia to be demobilized. They will soon find that the army must not only be maintained on a war footing, but also be paid for at the expense of Greece, unless they are prepared to abandon the Asiatic Greeks—as the ex-King did during the war—to the horrors of Turkish vengeance.
