Ask Britain To Keep Troops In Greece
(Rec. 11 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. It is learned reliably that the acting Secretary of State (Mr Robert Lovett) and other American officials have asked the British Government to defer withdrawal of troops from Greece until the situation there is stabilised and the American mission headed by Mr Dwight Griswold has found its feet, or a permanent frontier commission has been established.
No reply has been received from Britain so far, but, in view of the critical situation, it is expected that the British authorities will accede to the American request. The leader of the Liberal Republican Party (M. Venizelos) interviewed King Paul and asked him to exercise the Royal initiative and leave the path clear for formation of a broad-based Cabinet in place of M. Tsaldaris’ Populist Party Government.
