done. and Greeoe's "Chauvinism" will /
vanish when she fnds the powers are .
unfiHching in their policy.
Already the question Of blockading F.
the Piraeus has been moOted, but it is
hoped that Greece will not cause the
powers 20 take that exceedingly easy
and effective step by any foolish action
on her part and that she VIII bear vivid

she incurred the last time she was

The Novoe vremya says the other
powers may count upon Russia and
France. Greece has usurncd an the
national law. The relationship Of the
