Mr. Gounaris found himself in the necessity of accepting these conditions and it is probable that he would have accepted any condition as he only aimed, at that time, at securing the loan of 15 million pounds in the hope that by this he could redress a hopeless situation. Though the permission has been granted, the loan did not materialize as could have been expected, because for the realization at that time of such a loan it was not sufficient that permission should simply be granted by the British government.

Fakat Britanya hükümeti, Kral Konstantin tahtta kaldığı sürece İngiltere tarafından Yunanistan'a krediyle ne bir fişek ne de bir şilin verilebileceğini defalarca beyan etmişti. Dolayısıyla açıktı ki, 15.000.000 £'lik istikraz gerçekleşmemiş olduğundan, … ilişkin borcun bu şekilde kabul edilmesi
