is helpless victim of British Impe-
rialism. The revolution Of 1921, Of
which Byron sings so enthusiastically
and Webster speaks so eloquently,
was fought solely for the interest of
capitalism of England. France, and
Russia, and it is to them that Greece
owes her liberation for the Turkish
yoke and her subjugation to allied
capitalism.
Ever since that time Greece has
been merely colony used by and for
the protection of foreign interests. So
it is today when British imperialism
has spread to all parts of the orient.
Greece owing to her geographical
position, plays a great role as the
guardians of foreign Imperialism.
And now, with Venizelos back in
power, we can convincingly assert
that there is another imperialistic
war in sight, and that he was sent to
Greece by Zaharoff & Co. to prepare
the way for such an adventure in
which the Greek workers will be
called upon to play the role of mer-
cenaries again.
