Constantine's Return Welcomed.
To answer this question is not easy;
but the explanation currently given is
no explanation at all-that the Greek
people, voted against Vcnizelos In the
general elections of 1920 and. after the
passing Of King Alexander, summoned
Constantine back to the throne
France could have prevented the re-
turn of Constantine by force had she
chosen to do so, as she did when Kari
tried to regain the throne of Austria.
AS for Italy, she openly assisted
Constantine TO return and was the
first to salute him as King. And
