Minister Roussos gave the follow.
ing summary Of the situation in his
country, as described in the legations

There now Is no pro-GermAn party
In Greece. In fact, such a party never
existed, save in the person Of King
Constantine, aided by certain mem.
bers Of his cabinet But he knew the
real feelings cf the Greek people. who
were attracted by tradition and sym.
pathy with the western powers Of Eu.
rope, and he never dared to openly
expound his pro-German convictions.
THE Greek people had q real affec-
tion for their king and had confidence
in his word, which accounts for many
supporters Finally certain acts Of the
kings encourage created . suspicion
in the minds Of the people and they
backed Venizelos in his Saloniki
movement, which brought Greece
frankly and loyalty into the war. To
day the real state Of affairs a. regards
the court has been exposed. The abdi-
cation Of King Constantine without
bloodshed or an uprising Of the people
indicates the absence Of any organ
lied pro German feeling, although GER
tain Of the political opponents Of Won.
izelos are using the argument that
there are still German propaganJists
in the country.
The reasoning people Of Greece
had long realized that Constantine's
policy was carrying the country to
ruin and relief was felt when he abdi-
Gated. Perfect order now reigns
throughout the country and the NAL.
contents have been disposed of. King
Alexander is in perfect accord with
his people and with the government
and his good faith is unqueationed.
Greece will now use every effort to
