Increase of Refugees
Curbs Effectiveness
Of Relief for Greeks
; ATHENS, Deo. 19 (CDNK—So
many Greeks have become refugees
In the past few months that the
; effectiveness of our *50.000,000 relief
and rehabilitation program is being
undermined.
Congress authorized this program
—lnadditlon to the *300.000,000 ear
marked for military assistance and
economic reconstruction—in the
hope that a large part of its funds
could be spent on hospitals, orphan
ages and other productive rehabili
tation projects.
Now it seems that most of the
*50,000.000 will ltHve to be spent on
direct relief.
Plans Often Revised
Herbert Lansdale, the American
mission's director of relief and re
habilitation, has had to revise his
plans three times in order to allow
for the increasing number of ref
ugees.
He originally intended to limit his
direct relief expenditures to the
285.000 persons who were refugees
in September. When he completed
his plans in October their number
had increased to 310,000. Now there
are at least 450,000 refugees.
In other words, 165,000 persons
require relief today who were self
supporting when the program start
ed in September.
Some of them fled from their vil
lages as a result of Communist at
tacks. Most of them, however, were
evacuated from their villages by
the Greek army.
The army reasoned that if the
more exposed villages were evacu
ated it would be unnecessary to de
fend them against the Communist
guerrillas.
Army Action Blamed
Thus the army, to save. Itself
trouble, unconsciously played the
Communists’ game by adding to the
relief problem in the congested
towns and cities. It also helped to
reduce food production by encour
aging peasants to leave their ffrms.
A number of villages were spared
destruction, and several hundred
lives were undoubtedly spared, but
the chief effect bf the army’s evacu
ation program has been to strength
en the position of the Communists.
It was a great mistake, as the
Army now admits, and the refugees
are gradually being returned to their
villages which the Army, this time,
has promised to defend. But the
harm has been done and a great
deal of time and money has been
wasted.
