M. Politis then expressed the de- isire to see the journalists, and the srrespondents of all nations later ! listened to his scathing indictment | of the methods employed by the am- | bassadors at the reported decision. He charged the council of ambassa- dors with having reached their con- | clusions without waiting for the final report of the commission of inquiry into the murder of the Itaan mem- bers of the Greco-Albanian boundary urity embers of the mission were con- inced that the Greek government was not responsible, and that the murders constituted ‘an act of per- sonal vengednce against Gen.

M. Politis contended that the in- quiry was entitled to continue until today. and he said he failed to un- derstand the haste of the council of ambassadors. Observing that Greece accepted in advance the decision of the ambassa- {dors' conterence, M. Politis said that nevertheless Greece would not fall "later to express her opinion clearly in |a communication to the ambassadore. He recalled that former Premlier Venizelos of Greece was shot several years ago in Paris, and that M. Vorvsky, the soviet representative, was slain at Lausanne, but that the French and Swiss governments did not hold themselves responsible. NEW YORK BANKER DIES.
