The precedent of such action by the British, it was suggested, would probably be the break ‘in diplomatic relations with Serbia in 1003 as the result of the murder of the Serbian majesties by revolutioparies. May Yet Avoid Break the seniténces given the former Greek ministers hayve not yet been carried out and that there was still hope that the Greeks would not take such ex- treme action.
