in Danielson. Conn, celebrating today
the ninety-sixth anniversary Of the
gratitude to this noble country for
the generous moral and material as
sistance which was afforded to our
forefathers in 1921. during the war for
the independence of Greece.
Conscious of your sympathy with
the misfortunes of Greece in the pres
ent dark days of strict blockade ex-
ercised against her. we pray for your
Intervention to send food to our starv-
ing kinsmen in Greece. In the official
entente circles it is admitted that be-
sides old men and women, babies also
are dying from starvation.
This state o. affairs could not leave
us, the true and loyal Americans OF
Greek origin, unmoved by the suffer-
ings of our brethren, and in the same
spirit in which the Belgium and Polish
relief committees have been formed,
we have formed ourselves a commit
tee with the hope that we shall be able
to send foodstuffs and milk to the
starving babies in Greece.
Our compassion for our suffering
kinsmen in Greece does not in the
least impair our sentiments toward the
great issues involved in the struggle
of nations and it could not in any way
deter us from performing wholeheart-
eddy our duty to America, our adopted
country.
We desire once more TO pledge our
loyalty and our devotion to you. Mr.
