Lord Denman, in a letter to the newspapers, states: I visited Athens in July, and met a number of prominent Venizelists, some whom are suffering from the present outrages. The lot of the humbler Venizelists must be even more serious. I fear that many will be done to death like rats. In the streets of Athens atrocities are being committed which equal the enemy’s achievements in BelgiVim and Scrvia. The change of Government must not delay for an instant drastic action on the part of the Allies. Every) day is precious. The new Foreign Secretary must realise the inadvisability of recognising two Governments. King Constantine must he held to strict accountability for his complicity in the crimes that have been committed.
