POLITICAL OFFENDERS IN GREECE
KING GEORGE’S ACTION VEN'IZELOS INCLUDED Received Nov. 28. 11.30 p.m. ATHENS, Nov. 27. King George signed an amnesty for all political offenders, including M. Venizelos and Al. Plastiras. The military will not receive a full amnesty, only a pardon, which means they will not recover confiscated property and will not regain rank. It is not certain whether this will satisfy the Republicans, two of whom refused to go to the Palace when summoned by the King for consultation. Al. Condylis returned from the Palace at midnight empty-handed, the King having refused to sign an amnesty unless- everybody was included. The immediate formation of a new Government seems indicated. unless a solution is found. WILL NOT RETURN VENIZLLOS IN PARIS Received Nov. 28. 11.50 p.m. PARIS, Nov. 28. M. Venizelos says he does not intend t • return to Greece. Bis retirement is definite. DECISION DEFERRED Received Nov. 28. 7.55 p.m. ATHENS. Nov. 2b. The majority of the members of Cabinet object to the promulgation of the amnestv decree which includes the leader the revolt, consequently General Condylis visited the Palace to explain to the King, who deferred his final decision.
