TURKEY ASSALE BY MORGENTHAU American Cheered in Speech Before Greek Premier and Cabinet. \ By the Associated Press. ATHENS, January 17.—Before Pre- mier Venizelos and the Greek cabinet last night Henry Morgenthau, former American ambassador at Constanti- nople, and now head of the inter- national loan commission for the suc- cor of Greek refugees, dellvered a bitter attack against Turkey for the “murder and deportation of Chris- tians.” He concluded with a strong con- demnation of the Lausanne treaty, which he said he felt certain was not Eoing to be approved by the United States, .The American and British charges d'affaires and consuis, 200 mem- bers of the British and American colonies, several American naval offi- cers and their wives and the leaders of the Greek political parties com- prised the audience, which cheered Mr. Morgenthau, Recognition Live Issue. The Venizelos' newspapers are ubilant over Great Britain's resump- tion of relations with Greece, and gxpress the hope that the United: States will follow this lead. The for- oign office informed "the Associated Press this morning that it had in- structed the Greek minister at Wash- ington to sound the United States government on the question of recog- nition, and_ is confidently hoping to Tecelve a_ favorable response before the end of the week. At its session Tuesday night the Greek | cabinet consldered the question of re moving the ban imposed by the late | revolutionary government agalinst | royalist newspapers. The cabinet de- cided, however, that inasmuch as the ban was a revolutionary decree it would leave revocation to the con- | stituent assembly, with the recom- mendation that it be abolished. By also leaving the question of the am- nesty or banishment of military of- ficers or civillans imprisoned for par- ticipation In the recent counter revo- lution to the assembly the cabinet in- dicates a desire to respect the revo- lutionary decrees and its unwilling- n.ess to set a precedent by abrogating them without eonsulting the assem- y. Although Premier Venizelos in- sists that the Officers’ League, which forced the banishment of the king has been dissolved, many are of the belief that Gen. Othonaios, Gen. Pan gelos and other republican officers are keeping the machinery intact, await- tug the outcome of the plebiscite. R e BUSINESS MEN TO MEET.
