THE TRIBUNE . (London.) 28.4.44. "KING AND KEEPER"; 226/6/81 Two weeks ago TRIBUNE reported the so-called mutiny and a general grek crisis in Cairo . Now the story has broken . After mollifying declaration by the Greek King and the new premier Venizelos , that they proposed in future to collaborate with popular forces, it was generally expected that a political amnesty would be granted to those whose only crime had been that they had stood out for the popular demands against the royal prerogative. The King refused; he was supported by Mr. Rex leeper the britisch representative. As a result, the armed forces of greece in Egypt- The same people who Three years ago had fought so bravely against the italians- now thought in necessary for the same cause of freedom to refuse to wield their arms any longer for the dictatorial purposes of the king and his antourage, the King was outraged. Mr. Leeper was angry. Both pressed the British military authorities on the spot in the Britisch army to suppress this"vile rebellion". Preparations to do this were made but the British military authorities very sensibly sowed little enthusiasm and were not at all impressed by the urgent representations of the Foreign Office representative Mr, Rex Leeper. In the mean time Mr . Venizelos , The Greek premier , had realized the seriousness of the situation and tried to have it removed from Mr. Leepers unhappy influence.He warned the Foreing Office in London, though his own representatives , that irreperable damage would be done if British forces were used against the Greeks.If this happened he said he would he would be unable to remain head of the Greek gouvernment in Cairo.If this happened,he said. This was just what the Greek reactionaries wanted. It would give the monarchists and Right Wingers the opportunity to re-establish a government which would not not have to accept representatives of the national liberation front and which would at the same time split the powerful coalition of the greek liberals and the left, Mr. Leeper it seems fully supported this manoeuvre, which would virtually re-establish the Royal-cum-Tsouderos dictatorship with all its harmful influence on Greek affairs. This has been Leepers and the Foreing-Office policy right through the Years in which they have dealt in Greek affairs . First in 1923, the King Was taken of from greece on a british warship ,in 1935 he was brough back in another warship.In 1941 he was again taken away in another British Warship,and it looks now that the only chance of ever returning to Greece will be in yet one more British warship.
