Venizelos Takes Office

Ex-Premier Eleutherios Venizelos became once again Premier of Greece.

Previous to M. Venizelos' installation, General Danglis, Chairman of the Venizelist Party, accepted the task of forming a Cabinet, but failed in the attempt.

Although M. Venizelos had decided not to head a government, he was forced to accept the office owing to the constant altercations which were carried on within the Party ranks. He finally accepted the Premiership without portfolio; George Roussos, quondam Greek Minister to the U. S., was appointed Foreign Minister; M. Kauandaris, Minister of Justice; M. Michalakopoulos, Finance; M. Gondikas, War; M. Tsouderos, Communications; M. Canaros, Marine; M. Spirides, Minister of National Economy; M. Milonas, Agriculture; Dr. Doxiades, Public Assistance; M. Natalias, Education; M. Sofoulis, Interior.

It was understood that a plebiscite will soon be held to decide the momentous questions of whether Greece is to become a republic or remain a monarchy and whether the present dynasty is to stay or not. The plebiscite will be supervised in each district by two Royalists, two Republicans and a judicial representative. This, it was said, is the only way of averting civil war.
