GREECE LEAVES CREAM
QUESTION TO POWERS
Government at Athens Formally Pro-
tests Against Complaints Con-
tanned in Recent Turkish Note.

ATHENS, Aug. 9.-The Greek gov
eminent today handed to the Turkish
minister formal reply TO the Portc's
note of several days ago. which ask
ed Greece to express her disapproyai
of the annexation agitation in Crete
and formally to declare that she had
no ambitions regarding the island.
The reply is lengthy document.
1t protests formally against the com
plants contained in the Turkish note
and gives instances of Greece's con
slant endeavor TO maintain frank and
friendly relations with Turkey and
to draw the closer the bonds uniting
the two countries.
II recalls the enthusiasm with
which the Greek element In Turkey
worked for the triumph Of the consti-
rational party there. and points out
that had Greece cherished the designs
attributed To ner she Monlu uh'e
tried to@profit by the trials and diff
ficulties against which the new Turk
ish government has been contending-
Instead the note declares Greece has
done and still wishes TO do all IN her
power for the appeasement of Tur-
key and for peace.
Then declaring that Greece can
only leave the question of Crete to
the protecting powers and conform
to their decision, the note repeats the
assurances that Greece, being iii no
way implicated in the annexation
movement in Crete. viii preserve the
same correct and loyal attitude that
she has in the past.
