Call Goes to Prince Paul

ATHENS, Oct. 27 - (The Associated Press) - Instructions will be sent by the government to the Greek minister at Berns to present to Prince Paul, brother of the late King Alexander, the government's condolences, and to inform him that he has been called to succeed to the throne.

Owing to the present relations existing between the Greek nation and the house of the former King Constantine, the minister is requested to inform Prince Paul that, before there is an official proclamation of his accession to the throne, certain guarantees must be given.

These include the formal and "irrevocable" abdication of former King Constantine, renunciation by Prince George, Duke of Sparta, of all claims to the throne, and recognition by the new king of the legality of the state of affairs resulting from the Saloniki revolution.
