GREEK ARMY and
NAVY DISMISSINC
FOREIGN TUTORS

ATHENS. April 27.-Greece's army
navy and police will no longer be un-
der foreign tutclage. For reasons o:
economy the government has decided to
abrogate its contracts with the British
naval mission. the French military mis-
sion. and the Italian police mission.
granting their members six months
pay in lieu Of notice.
The only mission remaining In Greece
now is the British police mission un-
der Sir Frederick Halliday. which has
been here since 1919 and has done good
work in reorganizing the Greek police
on the lines Of the London police force.
The governments decision will be a
severe blow to the foreign naval and
military missions. whose members drew
not only salaries from their own coun-
tries. but from the Greek government;
as well.
