ABSTRACT
One Minister stated that, for the first time since the Greek Revolution, Greece had held up her head abroad; and they said that the Delphic movement could balance the Greek budget; another that the authors had demonstrated the creative capacity of the Greek people today. With the passing of the bill for the Lottery the next step they had dreamed of seemed within reach. But it did not occur to me at that time that they had the law on our side; and that public opinion was evidently strong in our favour since the Minister of the Navy thought that the Greek people would buy all of our tickets, and none of his. He had received a letter from Dr. Ralph van Deman McGoffm, the President of the American Archaeological Institute, asking me to come to speak to various archaeological groups in different American cities to tell them what they had done in Greece and what they hoped to do.
