In political circles it was said
today the whole situation lay in

Venizelistas were forecasting that
Constantine would receive a heavy

would abdicate in favor of his son,
Prince George. The Venizelist

newspapers declared that the re-

to Greece of Smyrna and Thrace.

counties had outstanding a total
