Lndon, Dec 3.-CBy The A P.)-The allied supreme council today publicly an nounced it would withdraw financial support from Greece should former King Constantine be returned in the plebiscite of Sunday. and also had considered terri torial reprisals should he be enthroned.
 The council also decided the allied premiers should meet a fortnight hence to discuss conditions as they exist alter the Greeks registerd their choice in the plebiscite.
 Briefly summarized. the position of the allies is that they want to warn the Greeks vigorously that their government must conform, to a great extent, to the wishes of the allies, and that if the ad- monitions in yesterdays note and today's statement relative to withdrawal of fin- ancial support are ineffective the allies are prepared to take even sterner meas ures, which were discussed today.
 As the Sevres treaty has not been rat flied, 1t is within the powers of the al- lies to modify it. and they are keeping this fact to the fore. at least as regards Smyrna. It is known that some of those at the conference today expressed tne belief that Symrna would be safer. from the allied standpoint. in Turkish hands than in the hands of the Greeks under Constantine. The wish WIS expressed however, not to 20 so far IS to threat en the Greeks. before the plebiescite, with retaking part of the territory allotted them under the Sevrcs treaty.
 While the premiers are in accord that the sternest measures should be taken Il i Constantine is returned, they have. not agreed on what stand to take if tho Greeks choose Prince George for theii king. Tomorrow the conference will dis guss German separations.
