...indefensible" will be held Friday, October 11, at 8.00 P. M. in the New Lecture Hall, under the auspices of the Harvard Liberal Club.

Since the Greek Premier is sworn to uphold, protect and defend the Greek Republic, M. Tsaldaris wriggled out of that oath by announcing: "I see no great difference between the constitutional Monarchy of Greece as it existed up to 1924 and the Republic. . . .

The Tsaldaris Government next decided that between Sept...
