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.

My friend continues by saying that the Cypriot Greeks are wonder-
ing whether the union of Cyprus with Greece is likely to take place
at the time the question of the Dodocanese is settled.
I have made only a few verbal corrections in having this mes-
sage transcribed.
A good deal of information that has reached me from time to time
for the last few years, has made it very clear that the Governor of
Cyprus is not a "persona grata" with any part of the Greek community
in any quarter of the Island.
I have not the privilege of knowing Mr. Stevenson personally
and assuredly I have no personal motive that would prompt me to in-
dulge in any gratuitous criticism of his conduct of affairs. I can
only say, however, writing of course, as I am doing, entirely in
confidence, that the High Commissioner does appear, ever since he
became Governor of the Island, to have laid himself out to exacerbate
opinion, and I am afraid he has succeeded only too well in doing so.
This would seem to be a pity in any case, and to be peculiarly unfor-
tunate during the last two years.
Up to the time of the defeat of Mr. Venizelos at the Elections
in Greece two years ago, the Cypriot Greeks were full of hope that
the union of the Island of Cyprus with Greece would take place in the
then not-distant future. Their cause, like the rest of the Hellenic
cause, has, of course, suffered by the political "volte face" of the
Greek people that took place at the end of 1920. Just for the

Dostum, Kıbrıslı Rumların, Onikiada sorunu çözüme kavuşturulduğu sırada Kıbrıs'ın Yunanistan'la birleşmesinin gerçekleşip gerçekleşmeyeceğini merak ettiklerini söyleyerek sözlerini sürdürüyor.
Bu mesajı temize çektirirken yalnızca birkaç sözcük düzeltmesi yaptım.
Son birkaç yıl içinde zaman zaman bana ulaşan pek çok bilgi, Kıbrıs Valisinin adanın hiçbir yöresinde Rum toplumunun hiçbir kesimi nezdinde "persona grata" olmadığını açıkça ortaya koymuştur.
Bay Stevenson'ı şahsen tanıma ayrıcalığına sahip değilim. Onun işleri yürütüş biçimini gereksiz yere eleştirmeye beni sevk edecek hiçbir kişisel saikim de kesinlikle yoktur. Ancak, elbette tamamen gizli olarak yazdığımı belirterek, şunu söyleyebilirim: Yüksek Komiser, adanın Valisi olduğundan beri kamuoyunu kızıştırmaya kendini adamış gibi görünmektedir ve korkarım bunda fazlasıyla başarılı olmuştur. Bu durum her halükârda üzücü olurdu; son iki yıl içinde ise özellikle talihsiz olmuştur.
Bay Venizelos'un iki yıl önce Yunanistan'daki seçimlerde yenilgiye uğradığı zamana kadar Kıbrıslı Rumlar, Kıbrıs adasının Yunanistan'la birleşmesinin o zaman için pek uzak olmayan bir gelecekte gerçekleşeceği umuduyla doluydu. Onların davası, Helen davasının geri kalanı gibi, elbette Yunan halkının 1920 sonunda gerçekleşen siyasi "volte face"inden zarar görmüştür. Tam da bu
