add to cart   close window

The article comments on the politics of Greece. During the trial of the six Greek ministers, afterward executed by the present revolutionary Government of Greece, former Premier Demetrios Gounaris, on the occasion of his one appearance before the Court Martial, announced that the fatal policy of pursuing the war in Asia Minor was due to encouragement from the British Government embodied in a secret letter addressed to him by the politician Lord Curzon. In spite of his testimony and the protests of the British Minister to Greece, judge M. Gounaris was killed. The documents referred to in his testimony were finally published in the London Sunday Express and later read in the House of Lords.
