Allies May Intervene.
PARIS: November 1s.-Allied ma
tions probably will intervene to pre-
vent the return Of former King Con-
stantine to the Greek throne: says
Charles c. A. Jonnart, former French
high commissioner in Greece. and at
present extraordinary French am
bassador at the Vatican. His views
on the situation are set forth IN an
interview published today by the
opinion is voiced by Baron Denys
Cochin, an eminent authority on
Greek affairs.
Constantine" says NJ. Jonnart.
seems to me not only undesirable for
the allies. but quite impossible. His
return to the throne would mean that
the greater Greece of Venizelos would
be placed at the service of Germany.
1t is the right and duty of the pro-
tecting powers not to allow Greece
that is stronger than ever to become
a vassal of Germany.
SIT cannot be denied that Constan-
tine acted as an autocrat and the
powers have a perfect right to op-
pose his return to the throne. A his
toricai precedent may be found for
this action. King Otto. the Bavarian
monarch OF Greece, attempted IN 1852
to set up absolute rule in that coun-
try. This resulted in Anglo-French
intervention. and the deposition Of
King Otto was required. The Ba-
varian dynasty was later replaced by
one having its origin in Denmark.
when l was in Athens in 1915 one
of Constautine's brothers said to me:
You ought to protect us against for
eign powers. but you have no right
to interfere in our home affairs.
II replied: II we had not that right.
