The Minister in Greece (MacVeagh) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 7—1:17 p.m.]
268. My telegram No. 230, November 1, 4 p.m. The Minister of National Economy has requested a postponement of further conversations until early in January on the ground that the continuing chaotic condition of Greek foreign trade precludes the present consideration of long term agreements. His attitude may be understood partly in connection with the Allied blockade of German exports which has caused the Greek authorities great alarm and is even occupying the attention of the Foreign Office and the Premier.
