ind Metaxas Dictorship Is Dramatic Story of Firm Ruler:

~ Nine months ago| the present ruler of Greece, King George II, was an exile in London, ’ ~~ In Greece, on Oct. 10, Gen, Kon- ~ dylis staged a coup and made hime pelt regent. At once he cabled the exiled monarch to ret to Athens, Everything was all for a restor-

To the astonishment of a cynical world, King George wired back that he was sorry, but he couldn't accept a throne thus offered. Unless at least 60 per cent of the people wanted him back, he preferred to ' remain where he was.

Held Plebiscite

S80 Gen. Kondylis held a plebisgite. The count showed 1,401,992 votes for the King and only 32,452 t

.. On Nov. 35, 1935, King George returned to Athens. There, Gen. Eondylis explained the situation. In effect he said: “I've got things pretty well in hand. You sit on the throne and I'll run the country.” It was to be a camouflaged dictatorship of a kind altogether familiar

‘* to the present-day world.

“Nothing doing!” the King replied in: substance. “Greece is going to be run as a constitutional monarchy—like England, or Denmark, or Norway or Sweden—or I'll go back to England. Within 24 hours of his arrival, therefore, the King had broken with the man who had made possible his home-coming—an act requiring an unusual amount of intestinal forti-

tude,

. The death of “The Thunderbolt,” #8 Kondylis was called, saved what otherwise might have developed into 8 bad situation. The Chamber of Deputies was called into being and constitutional government got under way. But the King’s difficulties had only begun. He liberated the Army and Navy officers imprisoned after the unsuccessful revolt led by Venizelos; insisted that Republicans, Socialists, Communists and other factions be given proper representation in the government, and otherwise antagonized the very factions who, Royalist

and Rightist, normally, were strongest in his support, “1 shall be King of all the Hel lenes,” he said, “or I shall be King of none. I refuse to be the tool of any faction.” On March 5 his minister of war, Gen, Papagos, paid him a call. The general intimated that unless the King barred the Communists from the government, the army might have to take the situation in hand. It was a-veiled threat. “I'll give you your answer withni an hour,” King George replied, coolly. “Meantime, good morning.” Pressing a button, the King wan for Gen. Metaxas. “General,” he said, without preliminary, “are you prepared to take over the ministry of war?” “But, your majesty, there ‘is 2 ready a minister.” All I want from you is can you do as I ask?” “of course, sire, if that is your wish.” Within 45 ‘minutes a priest had been called into.the palace from-a nearby church, Metaxas had been sworn in and Papagos once more stood in the royal presence. “Your resignation,” said the King, “is accepted.” In Athens last March, neutrals all told me’ the King was making an amazingly sincere and courageous stand against dictatorship.
