DANGEROUS SITUATION. GREEKS MAY REQUIRE NAVAL AID AGAINST KEMALISTS. Elec Tel. Copyright-United Press Assn i (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.j LONDON, June 9. The Daily Chronicle says: A conference of Ministers was held at Chequers Court on the dangerous situation in the Near East. It is understood the British Government is still desirous of observing neutrality, but the situation may necessitate a change of policy, owing to the uncompromising hostility of the Kemalists, who prohibit British vessels touching at Turkish ports. If the Greeks suffer further defeats or the Kemalists gain Constantinople, British prestige in the Middle Eiast will be seriously affected.
The British policy is not likely to require a land campaign, but may necessitate naval and other indirect assistance to Greece. GREEK KING GOES TO FRONT. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.! (Received June 11, 9.10 a.m.) ATHENS, June 10. The King, Prime Minister, and Minister of War are leaving for the front to-morrow.
