GREEK DEPUTIES IN
UPROAR over ISSUE

Athens, Oct 27.-Another cabinet
crisis has been narrowly averted. Dur
ing a debate in the chamber of depu-
ties a difference of opinion developed
between Stephen Dragaumis, minister
of finance, and Eleutherios Venizelos,

jority party.
The debate was on the subject of
Turkish properties in Macedonia
which were confiscated after the Bal
kan war. Heated remarks were ex-
changed and there were constant in
terruptions from the government side.
M. Venizelos tartly reminded the gov
ernment that its control of the cham
ber depended entirely on the votes
of his party The chamber was thrown
into confusion and the sitting was
suspended
The cabinet assembled hastily and
as a result of it's consultation NJ.
Dragoumis made conciliatory eXplana-
tions which brought about a settle
ment of the dispute.
