President. Almost immediately the Italian Government rejected the Greek reply as unsatisfactory and ordered its naval forces to occupy the Greek island of Corfu. situated near the mouth of the Adriatic. The occupation was completed only after a bombardment in which a number of Greek and Armenian refugee children on the island were killed or wounded by the exploding shells. Italys honor was thus happily vindicated. from the standpoint of those who constituted the new Fascist regime. Greece notified the Council through its representative that it was ready to accept and executein good faith any proposal the Council might make to give Italy full satisfaction.
