In an article of this length it is
impossible t� go into the details
given iri the IRCC Report, showing
itemized foods, etc., reaching Greece.
how these ' foods are only meeting
a fraction of the need, surveys of
food consumption and heeds in all
districts . on mainland and "islands,
development of the - soup kitchen's
Which ate the main relief. measure
in keeping 'the population alive for
day, the spread of epidemics due to
undernourishment, letters' and re-.
ports from various centres, • etc. etc.
The organization and control of a
system of food relief on such a scale
and • in an occupied country like
Greece is a ,tremendous work. Every
inhabitant of Greece today 'is in
need. It must be borne in mind that
this small 'country, with ' an excep-
tionally. unfertile mainland, has nev-
er been agriculturally self-st4tpport- -
ing. Without supplies from outside
it is fore -doomed to st rvation.
the cost of living is now one to three
hundred times . higher anbefore
the war: Wages, on the Wther hand,
have been -raised to only twice the
pre=war scale with the result that
'the industrial or commercial em-
ployee's.monthly pay hardly suffices
to buy ,subsistence for one or two
days, jnd the people' in, all walks
of life have no choice but to, sell
everything they -possess in order to
obtain, in the black market, a Mo-
mentary satisfaction of their needs.
It is -impossible to'• overestimate
the urgency of •,procuring suitable
food - for the starving children of
Greece. In view of the prevailing
situation, the gift of 65 tons of dried
milk from the American Red Cross
could not have been more welcome.
Also the gift of 19,000 food parcels
being sent by the Canadian Red
Cross and the tolls of dehydrated
vegetables, .medical supplies, etc., to
the •value of $117,000 sent to their
suffering . countrymen by the Greek
War Relief Fund through the Can-
adian Red Cross. -
