America Told British Navy Will Aid Greece

LONDON, Oct. 29 (Router)-British naval assistance to Greece had already begun, Mr. A. V. Alexander, the First Lörd of the Admiralty, announced to-day.

He added: "I can assure our friends in Greece and America that, so far as is possible, every help which the Royal Navy can give Greece will be gladly rendered.”

Describing the "unprovoked, ruth less assault on the Greek notion" by Mussolini as a repetition of the stab in the back to Britain inst June, ME Alexander said that the Navy had done magnificent work in the Medi- terranean and the Red Sea In recent months. He added. "Large numbers of enemy submarines have been sunk and destroyers and cruisers have also been sunk; but the greatest defeat has been the long rest periods of the Italian fleet in its harbours."
