Last week saw the end of the Italo-Greek dispute over the Italian murders near Janina in the Epirus (TIME, Sept. 10).

Indemnity. In compliance with the united demands of Italy and the Council of Ambassadors in Paris, Greece deposited in the Swiss National Bank the sum of 50,000,000 lire ($2,160,000) as a guarantee for such indemnity as the Council might ultimately fix (TIME, Sept. 24). This sum was paid over to Italy on the orders of the Ambassadors, who found that Greece was dilatory in tracking down the murderers of the Italian mission on the International Commission for the Delimitation of the Greco-Albanian Boundary.

Evacuation. After payment of the indemnity and the fulfillment of all the remaining terms of the Council of Ambassadors' ultimatum except that dealing with exemplary punishment for the murderers (TIME, Sept. 17), Italy evacuated Corfu and the adjacent islands.

Commission of Inquiry. The Commission of Inquiry constituted by the Council of Ambassadors (TiME, Sept. 17) to establish the exact responsibility for the Janina murders, continued its deliberations. An Albanian shepherd testified that he had been asked by the Albanian Governor of Argyrokastro " to assassinate a mission." His evidence created a profound sensation and the matter is under investigation.

Greek Protest. At the time of authorizing the payment of the indemnity by the Swiss National Bank to the Bank of Italy, Greece lodged a protest with the Council of Ambassadors. She said that the Italian fleet had returned to Corfu (Italy denied this) and that she had not shown negligence in trying to discover the Janina criminals. Under the latter heading she pleaded extenuating circumstances, stating that, she was unable to pursue investigations on Albanian soil, where the murderers are presumed to have sought refuge.
