ORDEALS AHEAD
GREECE READY TO BEAR
THEM
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, October 30,
Replying to the toast of "Greece Immortal," proposed by Lord Nathan at a luncheon in London today, the Greek Minister, M. Simopoulos, received an ovation.
"My country is now at war with Italy, a so-called Great Power," he said. "We are fully aware of the ordeals that await us. We will bear them with patience and dignity. With God's help we are adding a page of history. So is Italy. But we do not envy the Italians the adventure."
Referring to the method of presenting the demands, the Minister said: "The Italian Note was presented at 3 o'clock in the darkness of night. They were afraid of daylight for such an action."
