Revolution in Greece.

Eleutherios Venizelos, grand old
man of the Hellenes, whom woodrow
Wilson once described as the foremost
statesman in Europe, has suddenly
emerged from retirement on his
native island of Crete to become once
again the central figure In the stormy
political arena of Greece. At the end
Of last week q military and naval
revolution, which seems to have taken
Athens completely by surprise, found
rebel forces in command of a squad
ron of warships, including the navy's
most powerful vessel, the cruiser
Averoff. The revolving armada set
sail for Crete, where former Premier
venizeios Is domiciled. and while gov
ernment aircraft sent III pursuit of
the ships rained destruction upon
them from bombing planes, he pro-
claimed common cause with the revo-
luton and by that token virtually
stamped it as a Venizelist uprising.
The veteran statesman, seven times

prods him just for fun-queer idea Of

might as well bring out sign. II am

Resentment, especially too quick,
and too long held, is very bad for man.
People always have known 1t, but
mostly they feel that such a belief is
rather theoretical, and something to be
thought about only in those rare mo-
ments when the average person fondly
believes himself to be "philosophying." !"
No, resentment is very much in
evidence at any time of the day, and
the strange part of the matter is that
usually the man who thinks he is the
most free from 1t Is likely to show 1t
the quickest, and in the most undy-
ing form.
Consider the Office fawner.
There isn't an Office in the world
without one or more.
But nobody is supposed to notice it,
or mention it, except behind his back.
The Romans, as well as the Greeks,
had a name for it.
Modern America has name for it,

Romans and the Greeks we are, after
all!
Absolutely there Is nothing unique
in this role. 1t probably has its
genesis in the teachers pet" of every

One may wonder If every adult
fawner was teachers pet. Was this

too loudly at the boss jokes the little
fellow in "A room" who brought teach

Well, we hope so, for then there is
some excuse for him.
Really, there is no reason why a

1t is strictly his business.
He must not make the mistake,
however, of thinking that other peo-
pie do not and cannot Zee it.
Nor doth divinity hedge him round
about, either.
If some honest man with more
bravery than fear in his disposition
indicates that he sees what all

Well. the little fellow with the
nasturtiums in his hand mustn't be
upset about 1t. Whether anybody is
so rude as to mention it or not, every

The news every day is full of in

lie, to be scattered with a blow, yet
SO tough that it can stand a very
high wind. civilization veneer is
able to take it. despite the equally
plain fact that it can be poked
through with little word.
Men who insist on poking civili-
Zation's veneer have their uses. Al
though the SNUG man, the sullen
man, resents their prods, and is afraid,
the open-minded student of life may
feel sure that there is nothing to be
afraid of at all in the process, that
it is essentially wholesome, that he

Corsican Justice.

who is described, somewhat optimis-
tically. as "the last Corsican bandit"
is about to begin before jury On
seven charges of murder, which in
clude eleven killings and two assaults

mitted one more, for which two other
men are now serving time on Devils

come of the trial would hardly be in
any doubt. But there are peculiar
circumstances, which make the result
somewhat problematical. For spada's

Argument Over Stable Dollar
Stirred by Hoover Statement

Former President Hoover's first pub
lie statement on affairs of the Gov
ernment since he left the White
House, demanding stabilization of the
dollar at its present gold value,
brought speculation as to an issue be-
tween the major parties on gold and
stirred up an argument which re-
vealed even some critics of the admin
istration doubtful about the advisa-
bility of early stabilization.
Say what you will in derogation of
the New Deal gold theory" declares
the Chicago Journal of Commerce,
"one part of it was evolved to raise
prices and the other part was dictated
by the raiding moves Of other nations
in Mr.. Hoover's own administration.
In the latter respect, the new man
aged dollar is sort Of inky fluid
that keeps foreign nations from at
lacking American economy. It Is at
once a tariff-making device and a
bargaining weapon"
"The United States Government, d"
the Boston Transcript says, now
buys and sells gold bullion abroad at
5906 per cent Of the former parity.
The Nation should do as much. says
Herbert Hoover, for its people at
home. serving notice both here and
abroad Of the country's determination
not to retreat a single inch more In
short. the rallying cry is '59.06 or
Fight!' Against the noisy inflation-
lists, still filling the air with cries for
further debaSement Of the American
dollar, this slogan should serve use
full and much needed purpose"
"Mr. Hoover's advice is sound"
thinks the Sioux Falls Is. Dak.)
Daily Argus Leader. "but it will not
be accepted in this fantastic era. We
are on q merry ride, and will not stop
until the gas runs out" The Man
chester IN. H. Union contends that
"the one thing necessary to restore
the confidence Of the investor Is as
surance that the dollar will be worth
tomorrow what 1t is today" Pointing
to the danger Of imitation, the Lincoln
CNebr.) State Journal concludes that
'Hoover's advice is good" The Kan
sas City Times states: "A determined
leadership on the part Of the Presi-
dent, with Congress falling in line,
resulting In q series Of measures to
stabilize the currency and to make
progress toward balancing the budget,
would be q great stimulus to recovery"
The present monetary act" the
Long Beach, Calf, Press-Telegram
recalls, gave the President authority
to devalue the dollar as low as so
cents. He established it at 50 cents,
but at any time can lower it again,
Just so he stays within the 50-cent
limit. To the extent of the Scent
leeway, the dollar has not been
stabilized. Business opinion is that
the dollar ought to be stabilized. The
national administration comedies that
stability is desirable. Yet the desire
to use the 9-cent margin in negotia-
Evening star., 1935-03-04

tions with other nations Is likely to
delay sterilization of the dollar until
it is possible to stabilize international
exchange"
The idea that the former President
has offered political issue Is voiced
by the Wall Street Journal, the Roa-
noke Va) Times and the Springfield
(Mass) Daily News. The Newark
IN. J) Evening News says that he "'has
placed himself in the role of directly
challenging the administrations poll
cies," and that paper concludes: "Un-
questionably, the stabilization Of the
dollar is the greatest need of the pres
ent. Mr.. Roosevelt should be encour-
aged, even pressed, to bring it about as
soon as possible The weak point of Mr..
Hoover's argument is that it cannot
be done without regard to what hap
pens to the pound. We went of gold
whether wisely or not is beside the
point-but getting back to it cannot
be accomplished by a wave Of the
hand"
The Boise Idaho Statesman recog-
nizes the fact that "the administra-
ton Is endeavoring to steer a middle
course between extreme radicalism on
one side and comparative conservatism
on the other" The Grand Rapids
(Mich) Press observes that managed
currency is club and as long as other
countries carry clubs. We need one"
The Winston-Salem Journal argues
that "Mr. Hoover's exceptions will be
carefully noted. but the court Of
American public opinion will follow
the precedent of the Supreme Court
of law and hold with Mr.. Roosevelt"
Leaving out Of consideration the
question whether the proper price
level has yet been reached" suggests
the Rochester IN. " Times Union,
1T is clear that the former gold
standard assuredly provided no fixed
value. A glance at q list of commodity
prices at the time Mr.. Hoover took
Office and similar list at the end
Of his term will show what gold
scarcity did to prices. . This
much may be said for Mr.. Hoover's
contentious. Though gold fiuctuates
in real value, like other commodities,
people have certain sentimental con-
fidence In 1t. But the disastrous eff
fects Of gold scarcity show need Of
better basis than sentiment"

the island. Meantime, loyalist forces on
the mainland are said to control the
situation at Athens and other key
points. Government planes over
Crete, after bombing the rebel war
ships, swooped down upon the resi-
dence of M. Venizelos and poured
heavy machine gun fire into 1t. The
Cretan populace, devoted to the Veni-
zelist cause, has for the most part
accorded the rebel forces its support.
With censorship sternly In force
and each side anxious to get its
version Of the revolution and its prog
ress before the world, it is, as usual,
difficult to know precisely what is
happening in Greece, Crete and the
intervening islands in the Mediter-
ranean. Venizelos and the Tsaldaris
government, which is the target Ct the
revolution, nave been at violent odds
since 1882, when fiercely contested
parliamentary elections and an en-
suing army coup d'etat by Gen. Plas-
tiras resulted in the practical elm
nation Of VeniZelos' influence in
Athens. Later there were attempts
on his life. His popularity thereby
was temporarily revived, but until the
present npheaval he and his cohorts
seemed definitely in eclipse.
Cumulative financial and economic
woes. Communist activities, monarchi-
cal plottings and other developments
have kept Greece in perpetual turmoil.
Anticipated benefits from the 1898
peace alliance with Turkey have not
materialized. The Tsaldaris- -Venizelos
feud has never slumbered, and pres
ent-hour events prove that 1t contains
the seeds of catastrophe consequences.
Premier Tsaldaris' regime has long
been credited with royalist leanings.
The rebels assert that their basic pur-
pose is 10 prevent restoration of the
monarchy. II Thrace and Macedonia,
as reported, have Joined Crete in re-
volt, civil war in Greece on a nation
wide scale looks to be inevitable, with
possible ramifications into the neigh
boring Balkans always having to be
taken into account.
