KING CONSTANTINE AND BRITAIN HONEST AND NOT PRO-GERMAN. LONDON, January 3. Mr Crawford Price, correspondent of "The Times" at Athens, who interviewed King Constantine, says he is convinced that the King is honest and not pro-German. He wishes to avoid quarrelling with either Germany or the Allies. He denies that there is any secret understanding between Greece and Bulgaria. He does not attach any importance to, and does not see any use in, occupation of the island of Castellorizo by the Allies. Referring to (he relations between :Britain and Greece, the King said:— "Any umbrage 1 may have felt at some of your actions has quite passed, and as a result, harmony is I now prevailing in regard to Salonijca. Ido not desire anything but I the closest friendship with Britain. ilt is manifestly absurd to suggest that I have harboured any hoslillity towards Britain, but I will not ;have Greece forced out of her neullrality." Mr Price asked: "What will you do if the Bulgarians attack us*?"
King Constanlinc replied: "You have a clear fit-Id."
