Υπόμνημα του Sir Arthur Crosfield σχετικά με την έξαρση αντιβρετανικών συναισθημάτων των Ελληνοκυπρίων την οποία αποδίδει σε νόμο που επιτρέπει την αποβίβαση στο νησί μόνο σε Βρετανούς υπηκόους, στην εντελώς αψυχολόγητη απέλαση του δημοφιλούς δημάρχου Λάρνακας Ζαννέτου και στην πολιτική όξυνσης του Άγγλου κυβερνήτη του νησιού Stevenson.Θεωρεί ενδεδειγμένη λύση την Ένωση.

(2) - .. 173 not concern themselves with politics in the Island. "Dr. Zannetos is from Greece, and he was practicing as a doctor here, and has been since 1888. He was for years a Member of the Legislative Council, and Mayor. He ren- dered great services to the Greek community; he is one of the well-educated Greeks; he is the author of the "History of Cyprus". He declined to sign the declaration, and he gave up his practice as a doctor, yet the Government de- ported him from the Island. "His deportation produced a deep sensation throughout the Island. On the day he left Larnaca the whole town, includ- ing women and children, were weeping and crying for Union with Greece, and for Dr. Zannetos. He was much beloved; he is one of the most philanthropic doctors I ever met in my life, a thorough gentleman, absolutely honest, sober and moderate: yet he was deported." My friend next describes how Dr. Zannetos was escorted to the steamer on the day of his embarkation by the Commissioner of the Police and other Police Officers, and was not allowed even to see his most in- timate friends to bid them goodbye. My friend then goes on to say!:- "I tell you honestly, Sir Arthur, that the condition in Cyprus is shameful to England. The officials are doing their best to provoke a general antipathy and to excite the public sentiment against them. We wonder why all this happens. Is it their object to repress the national sentiment? If so, it has the very opposite effect."
