GREECE IS WARNFO
It WILL De IN DAD
IF KING IS RECALLED
Allied Premiers Say Action Will
Create UnfavorabIe Situation
for Nation.

London, Dec. 2.-(By The Associated
Press. )-The allied premiers in confer
ence Thursday agreed to send note
to the Greek government declaring that
restoration of Constantine to the throne
of Greece would be regarded as ratifica-
tion by that country of Constantine's S
hostile acts, and would create new and
unfavorable situation between Greece
and the allies.
The note follows:
''The British, French and Italian gov
ernments have constantly in the past
given proof of their good will towards
the Greek people and have favored their
attainment af the secular aspirations.
They, therefore, have been all the more
painfully surprised by the events which
have just occurred in Greece. They have
no wish to interfere in the internal af-
fairs In Greece, but feel bound to de-
clare publicly that restoration of the
throne Of Greece to king whose dlsloyai
attitude and conduct towards the allies
during the war caused them great en-
barrassment and loss could only be re-
garded by them as ratification by Greece
of his hostile acts.
'sThis step would create new and
unfayorable situation in tho relations
between Greece and the allies, and IN
that case the three governments reserve
to themselves complete liberty IN dealing
with the situation THUS created"
