His ministry was forced to appeal
to the electorate--onee by his own
wish to test Greek public opinion and
once because the constitutional limit

Under his guidance the constitu-

electorate has been given wider
privilege of choice of their representa-

tenure and removed from political
control.
The ministries have been reorgan-
