GERMAN REPARATIONS

GREECE'S PROTEST. (Rec. 11.10 a.m.) ATHENS, Dec. 27. M. Sofianopoulos has announced that Greece is protesting to the Allied Governments against the method of assessing the reparations. He has cabled the Prime Ministers of New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa, Dr Evatt, Mr Stettinius, and other Americans seeking their' assistance in "redress- - ing the injustice done to Greece." He claimed that the amount allotted to' Greece by a majority at the Reparations Conference at Paris on December 21 was much smaller than the modest sum claimed, and to which ' she was entitled. Greece's contribution to the Allied cause and the ex-,. tent of her sacrifices had been sowidely recognised by leading Allied statesmen and military chiefs that international opinion was prepared to accept the seven decisions particularly favouring Greece. ;
