In order fully to realise this scheme it will be necessary to
raise a sum of at least £5000. The object has a real claim on
British enterprise. From a national point of view, this task of
scientific exploration in Crete is a fitting sequel to the joint
work of political emancipation in which we have taken part. It may
be mentioned in this connection that the French School at Athens
is already organising plans of excavation on other Cretan sites,
and that a mission with a similar object is being despatched by the
Italian Government.
