GREECE AND MONARCHY
"As everybody had expected the recent elections in Greece resulted in a great victory for the Govern- ment of M. Tsaldaris whose Popular Party swept the country and oc- cupled almost the whole Chamber in the new Parliament. Denounc- ing the elections in advance. the Labour Party discreetly abstained from voting. for M. Venizelos, its
former leader, · had fallen from
favour while the criminal insanity
of March had brought about the eclipse of the Republican cause. [ 651 This effect is somewhat obscured by the fact that General Metaxes, the head of the Royalist Party, only managed to obtain seven ́ seats, most of which were from his native Island of Cephalònia, but when one delves deeper into the truth one appreciates that Metaxas was not taken seriously by the Monarchists who readily understood that King George would never consent to re- turn at the head of a faction. a result the Monarchist vote went to M. Tsaldaris, a sedate and cautious statesman who has chosen a reasonable line of approach to a restoration. He advances the theory that if the Hellenes want the return of King George, that is an issue which should be decided not in the heat and turmoil of a general election, büt by separate and formal decision, for only in that way can Monarchy be firmly established on a national basis, "..

In the meantime, however, these elections have proved to be a triumphant vindication of the Government which saved the coun~ try from anarchy by its firm and skillful handling of the recent re- volt, as well as a crushing censure of Venizelos" and his friends who would probably have plunged the whole country into civil war. The nigh esteem in which M. Tealdaris is held throughout the whole of Greece may be gauged from the fact that even in such reputed strongholds of the Republican
leader as Maritza and Western Thrace. and in Northern Greece and Macedonia, the vote for Tsal- deris was overwhelming. So far as the Venizelos Party is concerned, there is not the slightest trace of it left in Greece, and the only difference between Tealdaris and the tiny Opposition is the differ ence of procedure. In this respect, also, the elections have been decisive. A National Plebiscite on the single issue of the restoration, which is the policy of M. Tsaldaris, is obviously the course most ac- ceptable to a King in exile whose natural desire is to be recalled not as a nominee of a Party but by the Hellenes speaking $ a united nation on the single issue, and judging by the latest news received in this direction, a plebiscite will be convened at the not distant future. It will be recalled that the Republican regime which began in March 1924 was confirmed by the plebiscite held on the following April 13, and M. Tsaldaris is no. doubt constitutional in his view that what was done then can best be undone in the same manner.
