The British charge d'affaires at Athens frequently has informed the present revolutionary regime In Athens that Great Britain would view with disfavor any violent change in dynasty, but the military junta ap- parently found it futile to attempt to sway the extreme clements in the liberal and moderate parties from their desire to banish Constantine's son in order to make way for the re- turn of their great idol Venizelos and the establishment of the republic.
 England is not alone in disapprov- ing of the disappearance of the throne. France. Italy. Jugoslayia and Rumania are known to have made the strongest overtures 10 the Athens cabinet against the expulsion of George.
 The chief object of the recent visit of the king of Jugoslavia in Paris Was to bespeak Frances intervention on behalf of his kingly brother-in-law.
