GREEK PREMIER MAY RESIGN

Athens, Sept. 11 A report circulating here on Wednesday morning that the Greek president Zaimis had re- sighed, was dented later in the day in official quarters, but it is ad- mitted that he is considering re-

signation and that a final decision depends on the methods by which the forthcoming plebiscite on the question of restoration of the monarchy is carried out.

Zaimis insists that the plebis- cite must be organised in such 2 manner as to give an accurate picture to the nation's desire. Transocean Kuò Min.

This means of course that there must be a falling off in the high stand- ard at which Government build- ings. roads, bridges, plers,
