ANNUAL RACING CARNIVAL
Only Two Starters For
Ladies' Purse
Small Dividends: Favourites Win
re-
When the annual racing carnival was sumed this morning sunny skies gave away after tiffin to rain clouds, and at 3 o'clock there was every indication that the last part of the pro- gramme would be carried out in wet conditions.
There was no outstanding feature about the pre-tiffin races, apart from the fact that only two ponies faced the starter in the Ladies' Purse event.
Bambi, ridden by H. C. Pih, and Stratocruiser, ridden by H. T. Alexander, fought out the seven furlong race, with Bambi finishing an easy winner.

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 fuir prospect of success is in itself both evidence of Greece's return to more normal conditions and a tribute to the Truman Doctrine, which made this possible. There are some misgivings whether the date chosen is the best possible, for some sections of the country nro Hikely to be snowbound at that time and others are still under martial law. But by for 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 now elections, and the Soviet Government liself has been demanding them. But the new elections, which will
will not only provide a convincing answer to the Soviet-Communist denunciations of The present Government as a "monarcho- Inscist" regime but will also, give now Inspiration to all liberty-loving elements among Greece's Communiul-dominated neighbours. 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 Greece 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. Grecce'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 Greces
truly free and democratic.
