Papanastasion

Eleutherios Venizelos, Grand Old Man of Greek politics, returned to France (TIME, March 17), having washed his hands of all responsibility after a struggle to bring the turbulent republican sentiment of Greece under control.

Henry Morgenthau, former U. S. ambassador to Turkey, who has since the War warmly espoused the cause of Venizelos and his scheme for Greater Greece, fulminated from London. Mr. Morgenthau informs Greece that the Bank of England will withhold the Refugee Loan should the Greek political wrangling continue.

Meanwhile, Alexander Papanastasion, Republican leader, undisturbed by Venizelos' reproachful departure and Henry Morgenthau's vicarious threats, formed this Cabinet:

Prime Minister: Papanastasion
