The Greek President has requested M. Venizelos to form a

new Government. The present Parliament is to be dissolved and M. Venizelos's Government will hold a General Election. The attacks made by M, Venizelos on the financial policy of his former Liberal colleague, M. Kaphandaris, must cause some hesitation and pain among even the more stalwart admirers of the Great Cretan. He attacks recent Greek finance as irregular and disastrous, though to most of us it seems to have been regular and profitable. The worst of it is that M. Veni- zelos's policy may strain the relations of Greece with the League.
