[Received December 10—12:58 p.m.]
1426. From Grady Mission. Following announcement issued Greek press occasion departure Allied Missions today:
“The Allied Missions which arrived in Athens last week have consulted with the Greek Government respecting arrangements for the conduct of their observation. They have also visited Salonika and Patras and have consulted with the Governor and Secretary General of Crete. They have met representatives of the main political parties and received from them their views.
The Missions have prepared preliminary plans to organize the observation, and are leaving Athens on Sunday, the 9th of December. They wish to express their keen appreciation of the kindly reception which they have received and for the helpfulness shown them by the ministers and officers with whom they have consulted. They look forward to their return, when they hope that the observation work which they are able to perform will be of assistance to the Greek Nation in carrying through the very important elections which are due to take place.”
