The prospect of a Labour Government has started speculation, not only in Thaion, but throughout the work, om the chances and probable resalts of a British recognition of the Soviet Govern-" ment de jure.

Nearly three years have passed sine the Trading Agreemei:was signed, and the farther steps then contemplated. of recognising Russia de · juré · nud negotiating about the Taris, debts, were never taken. A good deal of misconcep: tion persists both about the attitude of the Soviet Government and of the British Labour party to this question of

The Corporation undertakes General Banking debra. In 1921 a clear indication was and Exchange Bariness of every descriptio given by Lenin that the Russian Govern- | n addition to its Branches has Agencies in al ment was prepared to shoulder all the the principal Cities of the worid. liabilities of Russia, but on condition that the Soviet Government should be re- cognised as the legal government of Russia. Obviously, there were two sides: to the medal. The British Government could not refuse to recognise Lenin's administration as the Russian Govern ment, and at the same time expect Lenin to shoulder the obligations of the Russian Government.

What was contemplated was a political conference in which the ereditar nations of Russian shonhl put forward their daims, and Russia should put forward her reparation claims on account of the Campaigns of Koltchak, Denikin, and Wrangel, which had been supported and largely financed by France ntxi Great Britain. The conference was never held. and the position now is what it was in 1991.

The British Labour Party holds the same views about "debts as any other great British party, and has no sympathy with the economic theories or practices which characterised the Russian Soviet Government from 1917 to 1991. Mr.

MacDonald. Ramsay

in recognising Russia de jure, would insist on the re- ciprocal recognition on Russia's part, of the State debt. No issue will arise here, because there is reason for knowing that the Russian Government sticks to what it said in 1921. The rest will be a matter of business arrangements, although a re-i parations complication will have to be faced.

In the matter of diplomatie immunity) Chafoo the difficulties of 1021 will no longer Dairen obtain. It will now be an easy matter Halar to arrange for immunity. both from search and from seizure of British repre- sentatives in Russin, and of Russian re- presentatives here, because the Russian revolution has now passed into as stable a condition of affairs as that of France

after the revolution.

The prospect, therefore, is that we shall within a short time resume normal rel tions with Russia, not a month too soon for the danger was already apparent, that we should be forestniled by both Italy and France in reaping the advan tages which would follow such

event.

GREEK WISH FOR REPUBLIC

ARMY AND NAVY RULE

EFFECT OF EXECUTING MINISTERS. Mr. G. Ward Price writing in the Dady Mail says:-

From the dawn of history the Greeks have been a prey to political faction. But the adversity into which their conn try fell as a result of the defeat last year of King Constantine's schemes of con- quest in Asia Minor has intensified the internal differences which embroil them.

•

The rout of the Greek Army by the Turkish forces under Mustapha Kemal was followed in September, 1922, by a re volution, led by Greek naval and military officer, which brought about the abdi cation of King Constantine.

This was followed by the court-martial and execution, under particularly bar- barous circumstances of M. Gouvaris, the

-Prime Minister, together with Ave. other former Ministers, and Genera) Endijinnestis, the defeated Commander- in-Chief.

As a result of "the executions the British Minister was withdrawn from Athens, and the Government of King George, the son of the exiled and now dead King Connecting, has not been recognised by Britain.

TWO HOSTILE CAMPA

But more serious than the severance to Greek diplomatic relations have been the effects of the execution of M. Gounaris and his colleagues upon the internal situation in Crecer, The blood of the politicians put to death by the present Government divides the nation into two bittefly hostile camps. A Royalist rising. under. Colonel Metaxas, Constantine's notorious chief of staff, occurred. last October, but was suppressed..

The

officers who have. exercised nathority in Greece zince the autumn of 1902, chief of whom are Colonel Gonatas, Prime Minister; General Plastiras, Com- mander-in-Chief; and Captain Hadji- kyriakos, secured the collaboration of M. Venizelos a representative of "Greece at the Turkish Peace Conference, There is a strong body of feeling among their supporters in favour of converting the country into a Republic, and appointing M. Venizelos ns President

But M. Venizelos has repeatedly de- clared that he will not renter political life," and has even announced that he will not set foot on Greek territory till December, 1925, a date by which he is stated to hope the situation will have settled itself without him.-M. Venizelos is now at Athens as Premier necking a solution of the Dynastic question by means of a plebiscite.-ED.];

King George II. is not likely to regret; his deposition, if it should follow upon his present deportation from Greece. He has been since he came to the throne u virtual prisoner of the military junta which substituted him for his father, and. has repeatedly" ured foreign visitors | that the existenes he would prefer above 'all others is that"of: in English country gentleman.
