The Ambassador to the Greek Government in Exile (Kirk) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:20 p.m.]
Greek Series 110. My 77, October 9, 2 p.m.58 and previous. Prime Minister informed me yesterday that King has addressed letter to him advising that at proper time he will examine question of his return to Greece and depending on his own appraisal of military and political situation at that happy time, he will make his decision.
[Page 156]Prime Minister added that Cabinet was at first pleased with this development but that later, apparently believing that moment might be ripe to get further concession (i. e. a clear statement that King would not return to Greece prior to elections) four Republican members of Cabinet had another attack of chronic hysteria and situation is now delicate.
