The intimation of the British Foreign once
that Cretan common sense is a guarantee
against a future conflict elicits humorous skepu-
cisn1 in diplomatic circles here. Trustworthy
Information from Athens indicates that the
national feelings OF the Greeks are ablaze. Both
Greeks and Cre1ans are dissatisfied that the
f,,roclsroation of annexation has not been fol-
lowed by practical steps. They say that upon
the withdrawal of the foreign contlngents the
annexation of Crete TO Greece viii be an ac-
remplished fact and that an irrepresslble out
burst Of public opinion viii precptate war with
Ttlrkev On the other hand, il is known here
that the Turkish government IS absolutely de-
1errnined to hold Crete at any sacrifice In fact
many Young Turk leaders would welcome war
with Greece. which would consecrate the new
unconstitutional regime in the eyes Of the Mosiem
