BUSINESS IN GREECE
STAGNANT; CAMPAIGN
DRAWS ALL FINANCES
(By Associated Press)

ATHENS, May 28-Business in
Greece has fallen off to such an ex-
tent that American commercial repre-
sentatives find themselves without
anything to do. Trade in all lines has
become stagnant. The shipping bust
to arrive in Saloniki harbor during the
last three weeks were two hospital
ships bearing dead and wounded from
the AnatOlian front.
The government is buying nothing
except limited quantity of food sup
plies for the army. 1t is Withholding

The Greek franc has only one-third

never higher. the morale of the people

was advanced 40 per cent. a few days
ago. The army is costing 100000
francs a day. Foreign observers are
agreed that the country cannot go on
without a financial crisis.
Commerce-Politics. related.
The defeat of Venizelos and the re
turn of King Constantine has ffected
all business in a country where com
merce and politics are closely associat-
ed. The blockade of foreign credits,
the rapid decline of the drachma, and
uncertainty as to the future has re-
suited in commercial paralysis.
Greece feels especially her inability
to use the S33,0O0,000 credit she has
in the United States. The American
state department has made it clear
that this cannot be touched until the
question of the recognition of the
king is settled. Constantine insists
he never abdicated, and refuses to
recognize the legality of his son Alex
ander's reign. This attitude may
have an important bearing upon Amer
icas policy toward Greece and the
question of the $33 1000 900 credit
