winston Churchill Says They Missed
Four Chances to Gain Her support.
winston Spencer Churchill in The
Century Magazine: The attitude of the
allies toward Greece from the very be-
ginning of the war down to the present
moment illustrates with bitter point the
famous observation that "the genius of
comedy is the same as that of tragedy.
and that the writer Of tragedy ought to
be writer of comedy also.
There have been at least four occa-
sions when Greece could have been
prosperoualy and honorably brought
into the war on the side of the allies.
First at the very beginning, before
Turkey had declared herself for the
Germans. and while she was still
threatening Greece with local war;
secondly. after the fall Of the outer
present year, when NJ. Veni1elos, hav-
ing secured q majority at the election
and been acclaimed with all the pre-
scription OF newly chosen parliameIIt,
was arbitrarily and unconHtitutionally
dismissed from power BY the Greek
Brussiloffs victories and Rumania's
entry into the war;
1t is difficult to understand why. after
all other opportunities had been missed
as the moment when the allies should
have summoned Greece to fulfill her
treaty obligations toward Serbia. 1t Is
indeed ungrateful and ungenerous to
cast the blame OF this on Great Britain
or Sir Edward Grey, or indeed upon any
to be found in that hiatus whence many
OF our mtefortunes have sprung, name
ly, the difficulties OF truly concerted ac-
tfon among great and separate allies,
and the lack Of any primacy Of leader
ship or control.

We have noticed that only one or two
of our exchanges uphold Congressman
Dillon and johnson in opposing the
war resolution, and the defense is that
while they voted other than the edit
ors would have done, they did SO con-
scientiously, and therefore should not
be blamed. While acting in an in
dividual capacity man is always
justified in following the dictates of
his conscience provided he has taken
pains to enlighten his conscience, but
when acting in representative ca
pacity it is his duty to vote according
to the sentiments Of his constituents.
Mr.. Dillon's defense is that to bring
this country into war is terrible
thing. That is true, but that terrible
responsibility rests with the kaiser.
The resolution that Mr.. Dillon opposed
declared that state of war already
existed. This part of the resolution
he did not deny in his explanation,
but he opposed the feature that gave
the president authority and power to
meet the attack.
