"An official communication says What quiet prevails throughout Greece, including Crete, to which General Kondylis, the Regent Specially appealed for support.

As on the depositition of King George, so at his restoration.there has beer no excitement. Business has proceeded 33 usua!. The difference between the

marked

present Government and its pre- decessor is the rapidity of its de-

peace. Few realise how difficult it is to devise a financial boycott with an economic Boycott. The question must be approached with courage und without fear or malice. And if MR. ANTHONY EDEN is in dis- favour in Italy no discredit could be attributed to him. He has done his duty conscientiously and only with the view of preserving peace at all costs.

What the League has done is,

nowever. not enough. Its efforts! cannot bear fruit unless bublic opinión gives it support. And it is public opinion alone which in the long run will exercise the greatest efect in shortening the war and in limiting its evil results.

The measures of the League are evidence of what the world thinks! of her use of war es an instrument}

of national policy; and it is signi- Ecant that, wherever any support of Italy has appeared, whether in countries inside or outside of the League. It has never been -based on approval of Italy's action but always on the false argument that nothing can be done to check it without more evil consequences.

The League has continuously to make it clear that its measures are

directed not against Italy but against war, and that its members are not actuated by their own special interests but by the common interest, including Italy's own in- terest in the long run.

THE MAINWARING'S PARTY

A gay week started very well on Sunday evening, with a delightful cocktail party given by Mr. and Mrs, Cavanagh Mainwaring in their new fat. Over 40 people were there, and most seemed very reluctant to leave, so much were they enjoying themselves. A bar was fixed up on the verandah, and the bost was kept 50 busy .that he had no time for a drink himself until almost the end of the party.
