ALLIES MUST FOOT
 GREEK WAR BILLS
(By United Pressj

Athens, March 9.-King Constan- Zine will not go to Smyrna and Greece will abandon the war against Mus tapha kemal and the Turks-unless the allies foot the bill.
 Despite declarations and reports to the contrary by the king himself, the above deduction is the viewpoint of conservative Greek statesmen and en- tente diplomats in Athens.
 King Constantine's spread-eagle promises of leading his people to Con- stantinope has been all bluff, it is now admitted.
 At the present time King Constan- xine has diplomatic cold" At the same time the provincial propaganda IS working. Almost daily the govern ment papers print petitions from the Macedonian, Thracian and Pelliponec- ian peasantry entreating the king not so imperial his life by "going to Smyrna" The peasants loyalty point cut that His Majesty's life be- longs to Greece, not to himself.
 From the royal palace emanates the Information that his majesty is not at all displeased over the solicitious- ness of his subjects. Smyrna at best IS cold, barren, desolate place in winter.
 The chief fear in royalist circles, However, is that the Venizelists will make capital out of any failure to carry out prediction pledges. In this event, it is planned to have the king pay two or three day visit to she front. In no case will he assume personal command of the troops.
 As to Greece abandoning the war against Turkey, it is pointed out that Greece today cannot even pay the in Serest on her former loans. For more than the past quarter of cen tury Greece has continually borrow ed money. Virtually none of the principal has been paid
 The Greek people are either very wealthy or very poor. Thus far no means of extorting taxes from the paupered peasants has been devised, and no government has been strong enough to extract any important amount in internal loans from the rich Greeks.
 The Venizelos government secured about million pounds by the threats of "confiscation and mobilization of wealth by the state.' The final re- suit was the transference of private wealth to London and Paris by the capitalists and the enforced migra- sion of Venizelos and his cohorts to Nice.
 King Constantine and the present government wishes to stay. Obvious ly they will not attempt any drastic. measures. The only resource is to bolster up the national credit and get what is available from England, France or the United States.
