(ABHRAUAIi-iiBW ZEALAND CABLB AS9OOIATION.) LONDON, 30th January.
The "Daily Express" Athens correspondent says the Republicans have declared war upon M. Venizelos. Fiftynine extremists indulged in rowdyism when M. Venizelos, in the Assembly, announced the reappearance of fifty suppressed Royalist newspapers.
Rear-Admiral D. Papanastasiou, leader of the Republicans, interrupted, insisting that the Assembly.must ratify the decrees of the revolutionary Government without exception. "If -you repeal the revolutionary decree you also repeal the sentence of court-martial which condemned Gounaris," he said. M. Venizelos retorted, "Do not talk rubbish. How can we bring Gounaris back to life?" Later he cried to the Li'i?rals, "You are a bad lot, you militarists disguised, as apostles of democracy."l The Assembly was seething with excitement.- M. Venizelos was pale and trembling; finally, unable to speak, he was. compelled, to quit the. Assembly. He went to bed with a heart attack.
