...Bingham was the target of half-humorous, half-serious accusatory darts. The fact is that it was the system, and not the enforcement, which drew the darts; and to be justified, those complaints should have been made a month or more ago.

If her historic policy in the Mediterranean is insufficient proof, then her tacit approval of the present corrupt reactionary Tsoldaris government demonstrates that the first intention of the British government is to halt the Russians rather than to bring democracy to the lower Balkans. The British appeal to the United States for active aid in Greece is impelled by her desire...
