exceptionally severe measures be- cause it alleges the Greeks are pro- German. The Creeks very naturally resent the cmasures thus taken as woul the Americans or anybody else. The Entente then turns around and says:
 "'You see that proves that the Greeks are pro-German as we suspected
 "The fact of the matter is that there is even now less pro-German feeling in Greece than In the United States. Holland or any of the Scan- dinavian countries. And there is far less anti-Entente propaganda in Greece even now than there is an- ti-Hellenic propaganda in England, France and Russia.
 Creeks Eyes Opened.
 "The whole feeling of the Greek people towards the Entente powers today is one of sorrow and disillus- ionment. They had heard so much of this war for the defense of little nations that it has been very great shock to them to be treated as they feel very badly, even cruel ly, for no reason and to nobody's profit. And more than anything else, after all the Greek govern ment and Greek people have done to help the Entente powers since the very outbreak of the war, they deeply resent being called pro-Ger- man because they have not been willing to see their own country destroyed as Serbia and Rumania have been destroyed
 AS l have tried repeatedly to point out to the Entente representa- tiYes there can only be one certain guarantee of the safety of the al- lied forces in the Balkans as far as the Greeks are concerned-that is mutual confidence. The assump- ton that every Greek is an enemy and not to be trusted is merely standing challenge to every ho,' head to attempt something ire parable-irreparab for Greece as well as for the Entente.
 Worse Than Beligum.
 "I have done everything could do to dissipate the mistrust of the powers; I have given every possible assurance and guarantee. Many of the military measures that have been demanded l myself suggested with a view of tranGuilizing the AL lies and myself voluntarily offered co execute. My army, which any soldier knows could never con- ceivably constitute a danger to the Allied force in Macedonia, has been virtually put in jail in the Pelop- onessus. My people have been dis armed and are today powerless even against revolution and they know from bitter experience that revolu- tion is a possibility so long as the Entente powers continue to finance the openly declared revolutionary party of VeniZelos.
 "There isn't enough food left in Greece to last fortnight. Not the Belgians themselves under German rule have been rendered more help less than are we in Greece today.
 Isn't it time, therefore, calmly to look at conditions in Greece as they are, to give over policy dic- tated by panic and to display little of that high quality of faith which alone is the foundation of friend ship?"

letter with it, as you see, express ing his gratitude for the kindness with which he has been treated and assuring me that he is my most loyal and devoted subject.
 Your minister, Mir. DrOppcrs, personally investigated the treat ment of those who were imprison- ed on the charge of seditiOn as re- suit of the abortiye revolution of De- cembcr l and 2, and told me him self that he found them very com Gortablc. My government, there fore, telegraphed the French press a denial of the Benuakis story as well as of any number of similar fabriCatiOns, but l have never heard of any of the denials being publish ed
 After all, all we ask is fair play. We have been sorely tried these past two years and we don't pretend to have always been angels under the constant irritation of the ever increasing Allied control of every little thing in our own private life letters, telegrams, police, every thing. Why, do you know that my sister-in-law, Princess. Alice of Bat tenburg, was only permitted to re- ceive a telegram of Christmas greet ings from her mother in England by courtesy of the British legation here?
 Alienation of Affections.
 Moreover by taking an active hand in our own internal politics, England and France especially have succeeded in alienating an admTa- tion, a sympathy and a devotion to- wards them on the part of the Greek people that at the beginning of the war was virtually an Unani- nous tradition. I am a soldier my self and I know nothing about poli tics, but it seems to me that when you start with almost the whole of a country passionately in your fa- vor and end with it almost unani- mously against you, you haven't succeeded very well.
 And I quite understand now those responsible for such result seek to excuse themselves by eXag- gerating the difficulties they have had to contend with in Greece-by talking about Greek tTeachery and the immense sinister organization of German propogand& that has foiled them at every turn and so on. The only trouble with that is that they make US pay for the errors of their policy. The people of Greece are paying for them now in suffer

ing and death from exposure and hunger, while France and England starvc us out because they have made the mistake of assuming that their man Venizelos could deliver the Greek army and the Greek peO- pie to the Entente power whenever they wanted to use Greece for their advantage, regardless of the inter ests of Greece as an independent na- ton.
 Message for America.
 There are just two things about our desperate struggle to save our selves from destruction that l am going to ask the Associated Press to try 10 make clear to the people of America.
 "The rest will have to come out some day-all the blockades and censOrships in the world cannot keep the truth down forever. Under stand, I am not presuming to sit in judgment on the Entente Powers. I appreciate that they have other things to think about besides Greece. What I say is meant to help them to do justice 10 them selves and to us, a small nation.
 "The first point is this: We have two problems on our hands here in Greecc-an internal one and an eX- ternal one. The Entente powers have made the fundamental mis- take of considering them both as one.
 "They said to themselves: 'Veni- zelOs is the strongest man in Greece and he is heart and soul wiiI us. He can deliver the Greeks whenever he wants to. Let us back Venize- los, therefore, and when we need the Greek army he will turn it over to us.
 Aaron Burr of Greece.
 "Well, they were wrong as think you have seen for yourself, since you have been here. Venize- los was perhaps the strongest man in Greece as they thought, but the moment he tried to turn over the Greek army to the Entente as if we were a lot of mercenaries, he be- came the weakest man in Greece and the most despised For in Greece no man delivers the Creeks They decide their own destinies as free people, and not England, France and Russia put together can change them, neither by force of arms nor by starvation. And they have tried both. As fo: Venizelos himself-you had a man once in your country, a very great man, who had even been vice-president of the United States, who planned 10 split the country in two and set him self up as ruler in the part he separated from the rest"
 "Your majesty means Aaron Burr?"
 "Precisely. But he only plotted to do a thing which he never ac- complished. Venizelos, with the as- sistancc of the allied powers-and he never could have done it with out them-has succeeded for the time being in the same kind of se- ditious enterprise. You called Aaron Burr a traitor. Well, that's what the Greek people call Vent- zelos.
 Venizelos Called Traitor.
 "The impression has been spread broadcast that Venizelos stands in Greece for liberalism, and his op-

Unintelligent Control.

Half the people in Greece have been continually eXasperated by just this sort of unintelligent control which has irritated the Greek peo- pie beyond any telling.

pOncnts for absolutism and militar- ism. It is just the other way around Venizelos stands for what ever suits his own personal book. His idea of government is an abso- lute dictatorship-a sort of Mexican government l take it. When he was premier he broke every man who dared to disagree with him in his own part. He never sought to eX- press the will of the people; he im- posed his will on the people. The Creek people will not stand that. They demand a constitutional gov ernmcnt in which there is room for two parties, liberals and conserva- tiycs, each with q definite program, as in the United States or England or any other civilized country-not a personal government where the only party division is into Veni- zelists and antiyenizelists.
 That is one thing I wanted to say. The other is about the effect of the so-called German propogan- da in Greece. The Entente powers seem to have adopted the attitude that everybody who is not willing to fight on their side must be 8 Dro-German. Nothing could be falser in respect to Greece. There is a present resentment against the Allies in Grcccc-and there is a good deal of it, especially since the blockade is due to the Allies them selves and not in any German pro paganda.
 Hostility Developed.
 "The proof of it is that when the so-called German propaganda was at its height there was little or no hostility in Greece towards the Allies. It has only been since the diplomatic representatives of all the Central Empires and everybody else whom the Anglo-French se- cret police indicated as inimical to the Entente, have been expelled from Greece and any German propa- ganda rendered virtually impossible, that there has grown up any popu- lar feeling against the Entente.
 "Part of this is due 10 the En-
  cause with the personal ambitions of Vcnizelos; but a great deal has al- so been due to the very unfortunate handling of the allied control in Greece. When you write person. al letter of no possible internation- al significance to a friend or rela- tive here in Athens and post it in Athens it is held a week, opened and half it's contents blacked out, it makes you pretty cross-not be- cause it is unspeakable tryranny in a free country at peace with all the world, but because it is so silly. For after all if you want to plot with man living in the same town, you don't write him letter. You put on your hat and go to see him.
