VEN|zELOS TOFORM
CABINET IN GREECE
Liberal Head Returns After
Dramatic Career-Parlla-
ment to Be Dissolved.
Nv The Assoclated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS, July 3.-Elutherios Veni-
selos, former premier and dominant fac
tor in the Liberal party, has been in
trusted with the formation Of a new
cabinet.
Parliament will be dissolved.
M. Venizelos, in announcing to the
representatives of the foreign press that
he had undertaken formation of cabi-
net which will be sworn in tomorrow,
said he did not intend to change the
foreign policy of Greece He had re-
ouested M. Neutrality-suspicious. to retain
the foreign portfolio, but the later re-
GREETED his inability to comply.
The return of Venizeios to power in
Greece is Just another incident in the
dramatic career of the man. whom
President Woodrow Wilson described as
one of the greatest statesmen in Eu-
rope.
When Venizelos left Greece he said
he was done with politics. But when
his country needed him he came back
as he did once before, in 1924. when
he was elected President of the Ma
tional Assembly.
Opposed Finance Program.
PRESIDENT Kondouriotis decided to call
in VeniZeloS when the Zaimas cabinet
resigned after crisis concerning meas
ures proposed by the minister of
finance. Venizelos. as Liberal leader,
was strongly opposed to these financial
measures. and 1t was this opposition
which led to the retirement of the
ministry.
AS he was delivering his address on
that occasion. VeniZelos collapsed from
what was said to be heart affection,
but he recovered shortly and when Gen.
Danglis found himself unable to form
cabinet, VenizeloS succeeded and be-
came premier without portfolio. Less
| than a month later he resigned and
| the great struggle centered about the
| future constitutional system.
Venizelos favored a republic and even
tually by plebiscite. April IS, 1924, the
republic was established. A new consti-
tuition was published in 1926.

In all his political activities Venizelos
was hostile to the reigning family, and
to him has been attributed an irnpor-
tant part in the revolution which forced
the abdication Of King George II in
1923 and the success of the revolution
airy party under Col. Plastiras. 1t was
through his efforts that Greece entered
the World War on the side of the
allies
After the armistice in November 1918,
VeniZelos was one of the outstanding
men al the peace conference, and al
though he attracted worldwide atten-
ton and seemed about to consummate a
great triumph, he was overwhelmingly
defeated at home by the Greek elector-
ate. This was in 1920, after an attempt
had been made against his life three
months previously in Paris. His down
fall was variously aScribed to the un-
popularity of the war in Asia Minor, the
continued mobilization and the desire
of the Hellenic people for what they
termed their liberty"
