WHY THE ECONOMIC BLOCKADE WAS RAISED. OPTIMISTIC VIEW IN BRITAIN AND FRANCE. LONDON, November 24. Prominent Government officials at Athens state that King Constantine and M. Scouloudis, the Greek Premier, gave Earl Kitchener definite assurances that Greece would not take hostile action against the Allies under any circumstances, and that existing differences would be quickly adjusted in a manner satisfactory to the Allies. Newspapers note the precise wording of the Foreign Office statement that no blockade of Greece has been ordered, and compare it with the explicit terms of the declaration issued at Athens of an economic and commercial blockade of Greece. The newspapers suggest that the Foreign Office communique may mean that Greece has now given full satisfaction for the Allies' demanas, guaranteeing the safety of the troops at Salonika and beneficent treatment in the event of a complete retreat into Greece. This optimistic view prevails, especially in Paris, where it is stated that upon certain points the negotiations between the Allies and Greece were successful.
