They marched on the palace or the war department or the state department, had a few polite words, put their own cabinet in, shot off a few shots which damaged at most a few more or less innocent but curious bystanders and that was that. But there came a change. The revolution which followed the "liberation" of the Greeks from Nazi occupation was quite a different matter. It didn't come from the top and work down. It came from the bottom and worked up. The Allies had armed the "resistance," the Greek patriots who fought the Germans. But while the Allies poured in such material aid as was possible, just as they helped Tito in Yugoslavia, the Russians were pouring in something else. Propaganda. The Allies learned, too late, the true physiognomy of the revolution which opposed the government. The "liberation" was a revolt engineered and carried on by the enlisted men, not the high officers. And its leaders were BAUKIIAGE communi- st-indoctrinated. The majority of the rebelling Greeks were not Communists.

Others in the community followed the lead of Mayor Murphy. Among them were young Don Strack, who returned from the army late in 1945. Before the war, Don had worked with his father, who is a contractor. Don wanted to build houses for his pals, back from the army, and so he started constructing basements. He says that construction time is about three to four weeks, not counting delays for materials.

"Children in Orphanage Because of Housing Shortage" that was the headline on a story in the St. Cloud, Minn.. Times a story that went on to say: "Three applications were made this week by parents seeking admission for their children in the St. Cloud Orphan's home. The parents were unable to rent or buy living quarters. Rev. Jerome Biele-jeskin charge of the home, said: 'This institution is no place for a child with a mother and father who can provide a home for him. Our principal objective is to care for dependent and neglected children and orphans. Ttiese children have not been neglected except by society." " That was two years ago.

But they were organized and directed by Moscow-traine- d leaders. Today there is a "revolution" in Greece. The majority of the "guerrillas" are not Communists. They are fighting to establish (they think) a liberal Greek government. But all of their leaders are Communists. And the rank and file are being carefully and thoroughly indoctrinated in communism. They raid, they fight, they eat off the land, they use the weapons provided by the Allies. But out of each such fighting and eating day they take time out to go to school. These schools are conducted regularly from 10 to 12 and from 4 to 6 unless a battle or so interrupts. In these schools the good Greek patriots are being thoroughly instructed in the philosophy of Karl Marx, Nick Lenin and Joe Stalin. This is of record. It is fact, not fancy. Moscow would (unofficially, of course), probably boast of it rather than deny it. Those who graduate with sufficient communistic "honors" are appointed political commissars and attached to each guerrilla unit. It is easy to imagine what would happen if these forces took over the government. Meanwhile, there is no objection on the part of the agents of Moscow to have the Greeks set up "coalition" governments they have had nearly a dozen, all of which failed because the leaders of the various parties represented could not cooperate. The failure of these governments, the revolt, dissension, unrest, terrible economic conditions, all contribute to that great ally of communism chaos. Conditions. That is the answer. The whole of the American policy of "aid to GVeece and Turkey" is Intended to change present conditions. To change them the experts tell us we must: 1. Stop the warfare, assure personal security to the people. 2. Feed them. 3. Restore their normal economic life, and as a result, their normal social life. Then see that they are let alone to take care of themselves. Communism then will die of malnutrition.
