ATHENS, Mar. 30.- Greece is much more likely
 to be starved into war thar
 Germany is to be starved ou
 of it," said a prominent off cial of the present Greek
 government to the ASsociat
 ed Press correspondent.
 The expression is scarcely
 accurate, for, while the price
 of the ordinary commodities
 of life, and especially food
 5tuffs, have in many instan- ceS and in virtually all in stances greatly increased in he past year, the fault is
 argely with Greece.
 If there be serious discom- fort in the country it is quite IS much due to the bad inter nal management as to the mastery of the Mediterranean maintained by the Franco
 British fleet.
 The starving" process, therefore, is much more apt to lead to trouble for the persent Greek cabinet than, unaccompanied by any other circum- stances, to Greece's enforced partici-
 ation in the war.
 For the common people of Greece the situation is rapidly growing des- perate. The streets of Athens are alive with beggars. The Island of SamOs is in a state of sporadic revolt. Pireus and Patras have had disquiet- ing demonstrations of popular discon- tent under the increased cost of liv- ing While a million and a quarter pounds of potatoes rot on the ground n Thessaly for lack of transport, the price of potatoes in Athens has risen from A cents to 48 cents a pound in tile last year. Yet the second at tempt to fix maximum prices of food stuffs, which went into effect at the end of January and which is supposed be vigorously enforced by the po- ice, set the wholesale price of pota- toes at 914 cents pound, maximum, and the retail price at cents a pound. Potatoes today, therefore, cost 12 times the legal price and double the market price of a year ago, though there is no lack of pota- toes within days sail of Athens
 It is much the same with almost every other article of food normally within reach of people of moderate means. No cargoes of rice have been held up by the police boats of the Al jed POwers-yet rice which in Janu- ary 1915 was 4.9 cents per pound to- day brings 10.2 cents.
