BRITAIN ADVISES
GREEK KING STAY
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 14.-The Brit
ish government has instructed its
charge d'affaires in Athens to inform
the Greek government that, while 1t
has not altered its opinion with re-
gard to the evil effects Of the return
to Greece Of the late King constan-
tine, 1t does not entertain a like view
concerning the present king, who, 1t
believes, capable, with proper sup
port, of re-establishing Greece in the
good opinion of the allies.
Although the British government
has not the slightest desire to inter-
fere in the interal affairs Of Greece,
of1ciaiS ac-e declare that royal de-
thronements. revolutions and politi-
cal feuds are not calculated to win
back allied support to that unhappy
country. Greece. they say. is one
nation that Premier Baldwin had
specifically in mind when, in his Guild
hail speech, he said:
These states must work out their
own destiny They are all or nearly
all impoverished by war and they
Will need financial aid for their re-
naoihtation. But when their agent
comes knocking at the door, In Lon
don, or wherever it may be, the first
question that will be asked and the
nrst guarantee that will be required
Will be that Of internal order and Sc

Americas Aid in Europeg
by Political Move.
BY GEORGE wIrTE.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily Negs
Copyright, 1923.
LONDON. November 14.-Now that
Prime Minister Baldwin has officially
announced the dissolution of the pr es-
ent parliament in two days and the
forthcoming general election, the
British public has a chance to con-
slider the possible consequences OF
this step at this particular time.
On the whole 1t cannot be said that
the people are overJoyed at the sud
den turn of political events. Press
and public both describe the outlook
as very uncertain. with no chance as
yet of making any safe predictions.
Aside from the effects of the new
situation on internal affairs, the ques-
tlon Is being asked Mr.. Baldwin
International affairs. r. A. Scott
James, the well known author, writes
in the Daily Chronicle:
Sees U. 8. Aid Sacrificed.
Mr.. Baldwin is throwing away a
unique opportunity of settling the
European problem with effective help
from America The American people
have become profoundly interested in
the idea Of cooperating with Great
Britain in this matter. Mr.. Lloyd
Georges speeches set the ball rolling
His ideal of the union of the English
speaking peoples to promote peace
and cooperation in the world was
caught up eagerly by the masses OF
people in the east, middle west and
south.
1T was formulated in exact terms
of practical policy by the State De-
partment at Washington. President
Coolidge affirmed 1t from the White
House and Secretary Hughes defined
1t in the renewed offer of help for
Europe Here was a big constructive
offer made by America. But before
Mr.. Lloyd George had time to get
back to England. Premier Baldwin
sidetracked the Whole movement. de-
claring an electoral war on the issue
of a protective tariff"
This view is shared in many quar-.
ters where 1t is deplored that interna
tional strife had to break out III
England at this critical time of tl:f
