Little Greek Nation Is At The Crossroads Greece both by reason of its geo graphical position and the forma tion of its people had a unique des tiny in history. It has stood at the crossroad between East and West The currents of humanity passing from one part of the world to the other. Persians. Romans, Goths, Slav, Moslems, Venetians and now ^scists. had to pass through Greece. It has been the battleground on the onrush of the Persians; on the push ing East of the Romans; on the Cru sades of the 11th and 12th century; on the expansion of Venice; and now on the imperial ambitions of Fascist Italy. At all these times the Greek people fought for their freedom and for civilization, i But in her geographical position, Greece had also a historical mission of the highest order; that of blend u>g together East and West, of ab ' ftrbing Eastern and Western ideas, tendencies and elements and giving them a new shape This mission Greece realized again and again in the past The Mycenean civilization, the classical, the Alexandrian, the Byzantine are all products of this historical mission. Greece was never a land where a crowded population could live and therefore no invader sought to con quer it for its resources. Its rocky and eroded soil, and its dry climate aft nut make it an agricultural country. There were no local re sources to permit the creation of in dustry. Shipping and commerce were and are its main sources of live lihood. This and the invasions from East and West scattered the Greeks along near and remote coasts and sent them into colonies away from home, in Marseille, in Sicily and South Italy, in Asia Minor, in the Black Sea. Homer's "Ulysses" is the rjf? of Greek maritime experiences in this work of shipping, commerce and colonization. Yet there always was a tradition of unity and associa tion with the homeland which has through a continuous intercourse strengthened both the mother coun try and the colonies.

He also pledged Jugoslavia 44the United States will speedily furnish all material assistance possible." The President reopened by proclamation the Red Sea. and the Gulf of Aden, permitting U. S. commercial ves sels to come up the East side of Africa to the Suez Canal. The President signed an agree ment with the Danish Minister to classify Greenland with Canada. Martinique and other foreign pos sessions in the Western Hemisphere which the U. S. would defend from foreign attack.

The President ex plained the program was primarily a stabilization matter?to present reas onable assurance to bog producers, for example, that the price of pork will be at a fair level when special ly fattened animals are ready for market. The Bureau of Labor Statistics re ported that retail food costs for most wage earners have risen 2.9 per cent | since March, 1940?including one , half of one per cent last month. The ? Bureau reported higher prices for j meat, dairy products and eggs, and lower prices for cereals, bakery products, fruit, vegetables, fats and oils, beverages and sugar. Selective Service Selective Service Headquarters amended regulations to permit 10 in stead of five days notice of induction to registrants and a postponement of induction for 60 days when nec essary to avoid "unusual individual hardship." The system also advised local boards to request registrants who are doctors to apply for commissions in the Medical Corps Reserve and j ruled that registrants who are sea men may be deferred when they are essential to a ship. The system designated six refor estation and soil conservation work projects in California, Colorado, In diana, Maryland, Virginia and Mich igan to which conscientious objectors may be assigned.
