Constantine's restoration would be an
Endorsement by Greece Of his anti
ally policy and would lead to a radical
change In the relations between Greece
and the Allies.
May Revise Turkish Treaty.
In French quarters particularly IL was
insisted on the other hand that the
question Of revision OF the Treaty OF
Sevres will Immediately arise II the
plebisclte In Greece next Sunday names
Constantine
A diploma tist who returned here from
Athens recently. when shown the Pre-
miers declaration. declared IL would
only put ammunition into the hands of
the Constantinsts. He insisted that the
reaction from it. II there was any re-
action In Greece. would be that the
Greek people would endeavor to show
their independence in their new found
greatness by acting in disregard OF the
Allies wishes.
British officials do not go as Tar as
the French in predicting what steps the
Allies will take when Constantine is
chosen by the Greek people to return
to the throne They say IL viii then
be a question not Of revision or the
Sevres treaty. but a demand for guar
antees from King Constantine. without
which the Allies win withdraw all diplo-
matte, financial and commercial support
from Greeco--a condition closely ap-
proximating the economic boycott pro-
\ nf
covenant. although in this case II will
be admittedly imposed purely for po-
litlcai reasons peculiar to the Entente.
The guarantees said to be contemplat-
ed include loyal observance OF amnesty
10 the yenizelists removal of Germano-
phile officials and the exclusion OF Tor
mer enemy sovereigns from Greece.
Proper performance OF Greece's duty In
Asia Minor also is included.
The note was issued following "A con-
ference between Premiers Lloyd George
and Leagues. Count Sforza. Italian For
Veign Minister: Earl Curzon. British For
eign Secretary; Andrew Bonar Law. the
Government leader in the House OF Com
mons. and Ambassador Paul Cambon
and VI. Berthelot of France.
The Allied declaration regarding
Greece was telegra phed to Athens to-
night so as 10 reach the entire Greek
people before they vote next sunday.
Some doubt was expressed whether TINS
could be accomplished In view or the
difficulty OF communications in the flrst
place. but more important stil IN view
OF the information that the strictest
kind OF censorship already has been
imposed by the Constnntinist Govern
ment. not only on MESA ges from Greece
but on all publications within Greece.

Text Of AIIies' Note.
The British, French and Italian Gov
ernments have constantly in the past
given proof Of their good will toward
the Greek people and have favored the
attainment OF their 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 IN
ternal affairs OF Greece. but feel bound
TO declare publicly that restoration Of
the throne Of Greece TO a King whose
dlsloyal attitude and conduct toward
the Allies during the war caused them
great embarrassment and loss could
only be regarded by them az ratification
by Greece OF his hostile acts This step
would create new and unfavorable
situation In the relations between
Greece and the Allies, and In that case
thd three Governments reserve to them
selves complete liberty IN dealing With
the situation thus created"
