M. Venizelos throughout resisted the British suggestions that he should intervene at Athens to prevent the executions, which he con- sidered were justified.

He absented himself from the conference yastarday, becausa the executions adversely affected Greece's prospects at the conferenca. The question of his resignation from the conference is still undecided, but if it eventuates it will have nothing to do with the executions.

Questions in Parliament.

London, Nor-mber 30.

The subject of British representations to prevent the Greek executions was again raised in the House of Commons to-day, when Mr. Bonar Law after replying that the Government had not taken a (similar step in the case of Erskine Childers, stated that the Gavern- meat withdrew its representative from Greece because it was actuated by the general consideration that it was contrary to the practice of civilized governments to put to death outgoing Ministers on account of the failure of their policy (Loud laughter).
