ROME, Dec. S.-Gen. Sir Henry
Maitland Wilson declared today that
the fighting in Greece was caused
by irresponsible extremists" among
whom the British had found de-
serters from the German and tbs
Bulgarian Armies.
Il can see little difference between

Gen. Wilson expressed belief that
some of the Germans and Bulga-
rians rounded up during the last
few days in Greece possibly were
planted there for the purpose Of
causing. trouble"
Until irresponsible people are
eliminated, the Greek people cannot
have freedom from want or political
freedom" he said. We are still at
war with Germans in Greece.
Gen. Wilson is the new chief of
the British Joint Staff Mission In
Washington. He said he was coins
to Washington with increased assur-
ance because in the Mediterranean

to study the facts very carefully"

to do what We know Is right and
I'm sure the people will back u.s."
