The sense of the whole thing is that you get to Greece quickly, taking with you immense sums of money and enormous powers over nations." " Well, when does the row begin? " The most astute journalists in Europe have been predicting a general European smash-up every year since 1878," said Walkley, " and the prophets weep.
