will create an excellent impression in
Greece. since it. Isl an actual present
concession and not a. mere promise
which Germany might suggest and
would never be carried out.

claims it's report is based on good au-

that purely chivalreus motives are
not prominent in the Balkan politics of
today, the better" tho paper adds.
"The cession Of Cyprus to the state to
which most Of its. inhabitants are re-
lated by race and history clearly in
wolves no departure from the prin-
ciples Upon which we have taken our
