S. aid missions with a different problem from those of other European allies in that she already possesses a fair military machine, but is unable to main tain and rehabilitate the country at the same time. Civil war in Greece ended only in 1949; thus \ the problem in Greece is not primarily building fighting forces (which should be modernised) but of rehabilitating the country, so it can stand on its feet economic ally. American editors and newsmen recently touring Europe got the inside story on Greece when they met Gen. Theodore Grigoropoulos, Chief of the National Defense MERRY CHRISTMAS M. P.

General Staff, Prime Minister Plantirau, American Minister Counselor Charles Yost, and nu merous other American military ind diplomatic officials. These conferences convinced many mem bers of the group Greece would require economical aid longer than some NATO countries. With a population of only, 7, 500,000, Greece fields an army to day which compares favorably with that of Italy, whose rearm ament program is just getting un der way. The exact size of the Greek army is secret but one might speculate that it is large enough to handle an attack by Bulgaria, the logical route of any attack, if Bulgaria is not filled with So viet divisions for the effort. It is also true that an attack on Greece would probably bring Turkey, and perhaps Yugoslavia, into the conflict. These three countries can maintain 60 divi sions, or more, in the field. Bul garia, Rumania and Hungary— Stand little chance of overwhelm ing these forces in any quick campaign, if indeed they can de feat them, even with their fairly modem equipment of late from Russia. Fighting Spirit Therefore, a successful cam paign in the Balkans by the com munists, would require large scale participation by Russian armies. This would almost surely be World War III, since Greece and Turkey are expected to be come members of the North At lantic Treaty Organization within a matter of months. Because the United States wants to keep the Greek army equipped with effec tive weapons, and because mem bers of the U. S. military aid mission believe that the Greeks, like the Turks, will fight to the last man in defense of their coun try, there is considerable zeal among Americans in Athens who are charged with aiding Greece both economically and militarily. Greek Chief of Staff Grigoro poulos told Americans who inter viewed him a few days ago there was no cause for doubt whether Greek troops would fight effective ly in case of invasion. In a dra matic answer to one questioner he quitely but resolutely assured newsmen Greece would fight to the last if attacked, even if sud denly confronted by overwhelm ing numbers. Americans station ed in Athens think the Greek army would do just that; they Bob's Jewelry & Loon Co. Charlotte Licensed and ..

The Greek navy, composed of over 60 ships, is an important as set on the free world’s side. These ships include a number of capable destroyers, six of which, however, are actually owned by the British, and on loan to Greece. The Greek air force is close to obsolete, but jet fighters from the United States will help correct this situation, though air force modernisation will take considerable time. Job Of ECA To get Greece back on its feet economically, so that she can main tain a modern military machine without U. S. aid, is one of the jobs of ECA. Towards this end the American ECA group is striv ing. Knowing that Grece spends a larger percentage of its budget on national defense than any other European country, while having been in a civil war up until two years ago, ECA officials say frankly Americans cannot expect (Continued on Page 5) Charlotte Auto Port* Co, - "The House with forking Facilities" 328 No. Brevard Tel. 3-8881 CHARLOTTE, N.
