The Chargé in Greece (Atherton) to the Secretary of State

57. By large majority Deputies today voted dethronement of Glücksburg dynasty and the establishment of a republic, this latter [Page 271] to be confirmed by plebiscite on or about April 13th. Very little enthusiasm.

I am advised [Roussos?] will become Minister for Foreign Affairs at the end of this week.
