Alleged Sale Of Military Secrets By Two Generals
Paris, Jan. 17.The French Prime Minister, M. Georges Bidault, today agreed to Communist demands for a formal inquiry into "the affair of the Generals" in which a man who served two years in prison before the war and got the Legion of Honour in 1948 was alleged to have sold Indo-China secrets.
The two Generals in the case are 59-year-old Georges Marie Revers -relieved of his post as Chief of the Army General Staff last year-and 61-year-old· Charles Mast, put on the reserve list at the same time

Nationalist planes and warships will sink the thirteen cargo ships of the China Mer- chants Steam Navigation Company should they attempt to put to sea from Hongkong, the Nationalist Defence Ministry said on Tuesday.
Hongkong reports said in Monday that the thirteen ships of the CMSNC hauled down the Nationalist flag and raised the red banner of Com- mumist China. A company official said he believed the majority of the Company's 30 other merchant vessels also would transfer allegiance to the Peking government. He indicated the ships of the Ming Sung Industrial Company might follow suit.
The Defence Ministry and it and ordered

Election Test Election
IT was inevitable as well ma in koeping
In the test demveratic principles plus
after the defent of the Soviet-supported Communist revolt and the virtual end of the civil war, the Greek people themselves should be afforded the opportunity ta decide upon their future course.
Tant opportunity has now been provided by the Greek Cabinet crisis, which, however in- opportune at the moment, has led to the appointment of a caretaker Government, the dissolution of Parliament and new national elections on February 19. The fact that such elections can now be held with a fair prospect of success is in itself both evidence of Greece's return to more normal conditions and a tribute to the Trumon Doctrine, which made this possible. There arc some misgivings whether the date chosen is the best possible, for some sections of the country aro likely to be snowbound at that time and others are still under martial law. But by far the greater part of the country is now safe and free. Much of the war- wrecked economy has been restored; the great majority of the refugees have been returned to their homes; communications have been reopened; the foreign troops have left the country, and even the Greek Army is being reduced, ́As a result both the Liberals and the Conservatives agree "that" the country is psychologically pre- `pared for new elections, and the Soviet Government itself has been demanding them. But the new elections, which will
be held this time without the supervision of oficial foreign observers, will also pro- vide the erucial test as to how effectively fallow the the Greeks themselves can democratic processes. If the elections are fair and square and free, and if the results are above all suspicion and challenge, they will not only provide a convincing answer to the Soviet-Communist denunciations of the present Government ns a "munarcho- fascist" regime but will also give new Inspiration to all liberty-loving elements Among Greece's Communist-dominated neighhours. The free character of the election cannot be impugned because of the continued prohibition of the Communist party, which remains in open rebellion against the existing order and continues to maintain armed forces abroad which it could disperse throughout the country in the guise of election agitators to stir up new revolts. But the election results could be compromised by personal ambitions, Intrigues and machinations, for which Grecce has always furnished a fertile soil and which seem to be astir again in the efforts to make Field Marshal Papagos the supreme arbiter of the country's destiny. It must be hoped that Greece's political lenders will remain conscious of their grave responsibility and vindicate the ald extended to their country by the United States, not only by defeating the Com- munist revolt but also by making Greece. truly free, and 'democratic.
