influence of the French and British

things did not help him with the
Greek voter; they hurt him, precisely
as any suggestion of foreign backing
has always hurt an American Presi-
Dental candidate and the charge of
unlimited campaign funds has. be-
fore now, been fatal to Presidential
aspirants in the United States. In
addition, his supporters in Paris IN
sisted that he attack Constantine

Venizelos called Constantine MUIR
derer, a traitor, a criminal, and
charged that he had conspired with
his brother-in-law, the ex-Kaiser. to
betray Greece to the ancient enemies
Of the Greeks, the Turks and the
Bulgars.
And while most Of this was IN
tended for foreign consumption and
was sent out by Venizclos through
the Greek legations abroad to be
given to the press in other coun-
tries, to demonstrate that he was
making good in the anti Constantine
campaign expected of him, it made
the Greeks very angry just the
same. They knew that the cxiled
King was not murderer, traitor or
criminal, "inspiring immcasurabe
disgust in the Greek people," as
Venizelos delicately put it, But most
of all they knew that while Veni-
zclos could say all Of these things
and send them officially all over The
world to be distributed by his dip
lomatic representatives, the King
could not reply to them, or even pet

1t Was Always SO

Greeks would be left holding the
lag and the world would be sup
piled with a lot of fine reasons why
this course was quite in keeping
with the ideals Of the peace con-
terence and entitled to the full sup
port Of the League Of Nations. The
diplomatic triumphs Of Venizelos
loom large on the horizon of an
American editorial writer. But the
Greeks know that what they really
get, when the shouting and the tu-
mutt dies, will be what they can
actually hold against all comers. No
more, no less. 1t has always been
so, and certainly nothing that has
happened in the Near East in the
last two years is calculated to con-
vince people as shrewd as the
Greeks that it is going to be other
wise now.
That was one element-and big
one-in the Greek elections which
found no place in the headlines of
the cables from Athens and Paris,
and is receiving little attention in
Downing Street or on the Quai
d'Orsay. The same may be said for
the second element which led to the
unforeseen result Of the voting on
November IA, namely, the attitude of
Vcnizelos himself, not toward the
I Supreme Council or France or Great
Britain, but toward Nicholas Pappa-
diamantopoulos, ordinary citizen and
voter Of Greece.
Shortly after the tragic death of
King Alexander people in France
and England and the United States
began to say:
"If Vcnizelos is so strong in Greece
as we have been told, why doesn't
he get rid Of The question Of The
succession by declaring republic
and make himself the first presi
dent?"
But in Greece no one was saying
that. For the one thing that Veni
zclos did not control in Greece was
the immense sentiment Of persona
devotion to the exiled Constantine
on the part Of the whole Greek peo
pic which found expression in ths
vote Of November IA.

that tho French and the Brit
ish have done in Greece all along
an academic point Of view that
misses the human entirely. There is
an element in the Greek situation
that the red tape hounds Of the
Quai d'Orsay and Downing Street
have overlooked. In 1915 and i9l7
they thought they could force the
Greeks by blockade and starvation
and a treat 'em rough policy.
They failed. Now they think they
can buy the Greeks by pointing to
Thrace that the Greeks conquered
and saying, eve gave you that, for
Venizelos's sake" and threatening
to return Smyrna to the Turks un-
less the Greeks behave.
The Greek Version
But the Greeks say: eve got
Thrace because we took Thrace, and
# we want to keep Smyrna we have
got to fight for it. Venizeios Is all
right as a negotiator, but when it
comes to fighting we want the man
who led the victorious armies Of
Greece in 1912 and 1918, VINO won
US Macedonia and would have Won
us Thrace then if Venizelos had
not negotiated aWaY the fruits Of
our victory"
That man is Constantine.
The Greeks may be all wrong,
/ ut that is what 80 per cent Of them
think. In their estimation no de-
8endence is to be placed in the
League of Nations as means of
retaining for Greece the rather neb-
ulous possession Of Smyrna. They
have seen the same game Of Eu~
ropean diplomacy and intrigue &C.
lng on in Turkey in the last two
:, ears as for the last five centuries.
"Esky tass, esky hamam," the
Turks say ("Same old bath, same old
sponge.") The Greeks have lived too
q in the Neal East and had too
many bitter experiences with the
larger European powers, especially
France, not to know that the French

Does Advertising Pay?

There are still some business men
who question the value of advertising
but they are always ner who have
never given advertising a fair trial.
Two specific Cases of where busi-
ness men are convinced that advertis-
ing does pay, have come to the atten-
tior of the Monitor this week.
The first case is that of A. r. Rob-
inson of Barton, a grocery dealer.
He purchased three years ago nom
advertised business. He decided to
do some advertising in the Monitor,
and used what seemed like a liberal
space by comparison with some 9TH
er merchants. During 1919 Mr.. Rob
inson states that his business nearly
doubled in gross receipts over what
he had expected the business would
do and SO for 1920 he has engaged a
still larger space.
The second specific case of unsolie-
tied Acknowledgement of merchants,
who find advertising pays is that of
B. o. Smith of Orleans. Attached
to the copy for his advertisement this
week we find this note:

do not pay US, send them to me-"
