At the close ol' a decisive meeting of the (?reek Chain he r last evening and early this morn ing, Premier Venizelos gave the As sociated Cress a statement of the policy Greece would pursue in the impending Kalkan conflict. "One thing is absolutely certain." said M. Venizelos, "Greece will abide by the tenus of the alliance with Ser bia not only in letter, lou in spirit, to the last mau and the last drachma. The Greco-Serbian treaty foresaw only rhe possibility ot' a Kalkan uar. When it was made none could predict the presen) European conflict with its widespread complications.

Therefore, when France gives ev erv guarantee respecting the integrity of Greece, when France's motives for landing troops on Creek soil are explained as in thc nature of accomplishing the very purpose of (?reece's treaty of al liance with Serbia, wc can see no rea son why (?reece should resist what she cannot help and what ultimately cannot fail to bc to her advantage.

'This is the po sition of Greece to-day, which I am more than glad to make clear to America because I have just been ap proached by William Hamilton, of New York, with a most generous of fer of assistance for Greek refugees on behalf of the American mercy and relief committee.
