New Premier

A prolonged Cabinet crisis, the fifth since the Greeks threw out King George II (TIME, Dec. 31), was again unsatisfactorily settled.

Provisional President Koundouriotis succeeded in persuading M. Michalakopoulos, a staunch disciple of Eleutherios Venizelos, to accept the Premiership. A Cabinet was formed; but its tenure of office was thought likely to be short.
