Be regarded as ratification by the Greek people of
Gonstandnes acts of dsloyalV toward the Allies dur
mig lie war. I he joint note concludes with state
enk which means that if the Greek people insist upon
taking Constantine back the Allies will feel free to
deal with the situation thus created in any way that
appeals 70 them.
Itmay be doubted that such note will hurt the
chances Of the ex-kmg in the pebisctc 10 be held,
and: II probably will increase his personal popularity
among the Greek people for outside pressure always
reaed by any people, but it certainly ought to make
Gonsandne himself and the leaders Of the party in
Greece which espoused his cause, pause and count the
cotibefore taking the final plunge.
As a political institution monarchy tottering to
complete extinction. Constantine may be fatalist
enough 10 Believe that the luck which has pulled him
through every personal crisis far will stay with him
TO end but the Greek government will have to look
he facts squarely in the face, and they far from
Measuring if during the next few years the Greeks
dob denied the sympathy and the active financial and
commercial support of the principal nations of Europe.
Even if the adjustment of the affairs of the Near
East does have the effect Of removing the Turkish pres
sltsthere will still be formidable problems of govern
mem financing and trade relations which would prove
kroubssome indeed if the Allies really did turn cold
shoulder 10 the Greeks However it probably is safe
10 assume that the scoding of the Allies in matter
pf tbs kind need not be taken too seriously. And the
Greskssraay act upon that assumption.

sa,irig that ecngess could be psxuaeed 70 ente upon
any enterprise Of that kind during the short session
I An Investigation Of the government as II has been,
conducted during the past few years, especially snee
the passage Of ths act which made Il possible fpr resf
dent Wilson to swap executive authority and executive
functions around at will might useful pur-
pose but it could not possibly be made the basis for the
kind of reform in government methods which the public
demands. And it probably would remind the public
Of the fact that very comprehensive study Of admin
istrative practices, together with equally compre
hcuIive program for reforms was made during the aft
administration and Republican congress would have
nothing TO do with it after it was made.
1t probably would prove very good thing to go
back to that TAFT plan and make it the basis for pro-
posed reforms That at least would mako it unneces-
sary 10 go over lot of the ground twice, and no one
can dispute that the results of this Taft commission
inquiry are part Of the assets of The Republican party.
If the congress to which it was submitted had followed
even few Of the suggestions contained some pt the
things that began to happen in 1912 might have betn
spared to the country.
But congresses. like juries very uncertain
things. Obviously there is no reason why an inyeshsa-
ion such as has been suggested should be made no'T
or later Therefore it IS just likely to be ordered as
not unless something sense of humor-
serves to induce the leaders to put their foot on the
scheme.
