An official.announcement issued at the conclusion of to-day's conference of the English, French, and Italian Ministers, states that the three Governments have sent a message to the Greek Government stating they are painfully surprised, after what they have done to assist the attainment of Greece's secular Derations, at the recent events in Greece. The statement says they do not wish to interfere in Greece's internal affairs, but they are bound to declare publicly that the restoration of ex-King Constantine, whose disloyal conduct during the war caused the Allies great embarrassment and loss, can only be regarded jas a ratification of his hostile acta, and would create a new and an unfavorable situation between Greece and the Allies. The three Governments would, in such an event, reserve complete liberty to deal with such a situation.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
