St. John’s mental camera caught a picture of crippled, disillusioned people strug gling amid smells that nauseated, noises that screamed and a silence like eternity. He warns us that he is just giving us a newspaper man's version of Yugoslavia and Greece. He has not fitted it together or giv. en it meaning: that he leaves to prop agandists.

The defeat of Yogoslavia was not. able, however, because of the ‘‘Dia- per Rflrvolution," the rebellion <.tf children, acting on what they had heard their parents say; children, who threw out the government which had sold them to Hitler and returned the child, Peter, to the throne amid frenzied demonstiations. while a mysterious Greek diplomatic agent en couraged them with hints of British and Greek troups with equipment to back them up.
