ALLIED COERCION OF, GREEKS
: HIT BY NEW RUSSIA 49,,

Petrogfad, July SIN the proposed
conference of the entente allies on the
Balkan situation, Russia will insist on
the right Of the Greek nation to
choose its own form of government,
according to declaration Of the pro-
yisional government made public by
the official news agency.
The declaration states that Russia S
representatives will be instructed to
defend the standpoint of the provis-
ionaf government with all emphasis,
and to insist upon the application of
those general principles applying to
foreign politics that have been pro-
claimed by Russia's democracy.
In part, these instructions refer to
the recent events in Greece.
In this question, the declaration
says, the provisional government is
unable to refrain from taking an un-
favorable view of the methods a plied
to enforce change in the sovereigns
of Greece. Althouh the Russian pro-

permissible any interference in the
internal affairs of Greece. Thus,
Russia was compelled to lodge OBJ
jections to the change in rulers and to
refuse participation of Russian troops
in the entente expedition in southern
Greece.
In her relations with the allies Rus
STA has defended the standpoint that
the form of government and the state
organizations in Greece are. exclusive
