Bank of Greece, and such agreement necessarily continues to bind the British Government, unless the National Bank of Greece had consented to its abrogation. "There is in our clear opinion nothing in the agreement of December 22nd 1921, which amounts to any such consent. The National Bank of Greece is not a party to this last named agreement and indeed clause 4 recognises this expressly and binds the Greek Government to use the proceeds of the loan which it was then hoped might be raised on the London market to satisfy the claims of the National Bank of Greece and thereby to secure the consent of the Bank to the cancellation of the right to any further advances out of the credits provided for in the agreements of February 10 1918 and May 19th 1919. But the contemplated loan on the London market was never raised and consequently the fund never came into existence out of which, and out of which alone the Greek Government under clause 4 undertook to satisfy the National Bank of Greece, it follows necessarily that clause 4 has no operative effect, the National Bank of Greece has never been satisfied, and the circumstances under which the Greek Government undertook to satisfy the Bank have never arisen. The Bank has never consented to any release of the claim for the balance of the advances which the British Government pledged itself to make. We would only add that on the documents before us and the facts above set out, the conclusion which we venture to express appears to be quite clear". In my mind it appears difficult to conceive that although Greece fully carried out the obligations assumed by her in virtue of the agreement of by raising nine divisions whose co-operation effectively

bu anlaşma, Yunanistan Millî Bankası kendisinin feshine muvafakat etmedikçe, İngiliz Hükümeti'ni zorunlu olarak bağlamaya devam etmektedir. “Açık kanaatimize göre, 22 Aralık 1921 tarihli anlaşmada böyle bir muvafakat anlamına gelecek hiçbir husus bulunmamaktadır. Yunanistan Millî Bankası bu son anılan anlaşmanın tarafı değildir; nitekim 4. madde bunu açıkça kabul etmekte ve Yunan Hükümeti'ni, o sırada Londra piyasasında akdedilebileceği umulan borcun hasılatını Yunanistan Millî Bankası'nın taleplerini karşılamak ve böylece Bankanın 10 Şubat 1918 ve 19 Mayıs 1919 tarihli anlaşmalarda öngörülen kredilerden başkaca avans alma hakkının iptaline muvafakatini sağlamak için kullanmakla yükümlü kılmaktadır. Ancak Londra piyasasında öngörülen borç hiçbir zaman akdedilmemiş ve dolayısıyla Yunan Hükümeti'nin 4. madde uyarınca Yunanistan Millî Bankası'nın taleplerini karşılamayı taahhüt ettiği (ve yalnızca bu kaynaktan karşılamayı taahhüt ettiği) fon hiçbir zaman oluşmamıştır. Buradan zorunlu olarak 4. maddenin hiçbir hüküm ifade etmediği, Yunanistan Millî Bankası'nın taleplerinin hiçbir zaman karşılanmadığı ve Yunan Hükümeti'nin Bankanın taleplerini karşılamayı taahhüt ettiği koşulların hiçbir zaman gerçekleşmediği sonucu çıkar. Banka, İngiliz Hükümeti'nin yapmayı taahhüt ettiği avansların bakiyesine ilişkin talepten herhangi bir şekilde vazgeçilmesine hiçbir zaman muvafakat etmemiştir. Yalnızca şunu eklemek isteriz ki, önümüzdeki belgeler ve yukarıda belirtilen olgular karşısında, ifade etmeye cüret ettiğimiz sonuç gayet açık görünmektedir.” Kanaatimce, Yunanistan, savaşta Bulgar cephesinin yarılmasına işbirlikleriyle etkin biçimde katkıda bulunan dokuz tümen teşkil ederek […] tarihli anlaşma gereğince üstlendiği yükümlülükleri tam olarak yerine getirmiş olmasına rağmen,
