they can be checked if anybody knows them. A gentleman called 
      Mr. Stavirides Mr. Papanikolaou Mr. Mylonas and Mr. Dimitrakopoulos 
      - my Greek is not very good - those four are all the representatives 
      who came down from Macedonia and the manifesto to which I have 
      just referred was voted by all the members - that is 20 of the 
      Central Committee in Athens - and three of them went up to our 
              Ambassador and handed it over to him.

                     Greek Socialist opinion.               
 
                                                            
 
 
Mr. S. O. Davies: Can the Foreign Secretary ex-plain who the 
      names of Professor Svolos and Professor Angelopolous are not
