Project Opens to
Re-establish Refugees
Of SalOniki

Saloniki. Dec. GA. p. by MaiD-
The arrival IN Saloniki of Henry
Morgenthau, former United States
Ambassador to Turkey, as chairman
of the Refugee Settlement Commits
sion Of the League of Nations, has
officially opened the greatest project
of reestablising a homeless refugee
population that probably ever has
been undertaken. With John Camp
bell Of Great Britain the second
member of the commission. MI.
Morgenthau made a brief survey of
refugee conditions in Saloniki and
adjacent territories. after which the
two Commissioners proceeded to
Athens to confer with the govern
ment and start drafting plans for the
agricultural statements which the
League has authorized in it's loan of
2o,000.000 to Greece.
At the present time hundreds OF
thousands of refugees are crowded
into Saloniki, Macedonia and western
Thracc, dependent upon government
doles and what feeding can be given
by British and American relief
organizations. The immediate pur-
pose Of the commission is to establish
the agriculturalists among them upon
the untitled lands of Macedonia and
western Thrace. This involves a
scientific estimate of the nature of
soils, the division of the refugees into
groups such as wheat tobacco and
vine. cultivators for assignment to
various districts and the providing of
houses, barns, live implements
and seeds which will enable them to
get into production.
The commission will follow the
Russian system of building villages
adjoining agricultural lands. Each
settlement will consist of about 1000
acres. Houses will be constructed,
and tools and seeds supplied. Land,
buildings and equipment will ulti-
mately be offered for sale to the ten
ants on the instalment plan of pay
ment. MIR. Morgenthau believes such
loans will be repaid in from IL to Is
years.
1t ishopedthat agricultural banks
may, in the future, relieve the COM
mission by handling a portion of the
land contracts. Later efforts will be
made to interest foreign capital in
the drainage of the Strouma and
Vardar valleys. which would result
in the reclania ton of large areas of
extremely fertile land. No distinc-
ton has been made between Greek
and other Anatolian refugees, in
drafting the plans of these refugees
settlements.

.Saar Valley Improves
Under League Control
Causes Anxiety Yet

Geneva, Dec. 8. "a. p. by Mail)-
Satisfactory from some points OF
view, the economic and social situa-
ton of the Saar Valley territory
causes anxiety from others, accord
ing to a report received by the
League of Nations from the govern
log commission of the district The
Saar Valley, which extends along the
Franco German frontier, was handed
over to the League for control during
a period of years after which the
Inhabitants by a p1ebiscite Will decide
their future political status.
The commission reports that the
territory is gradually recovering from
the effects of the miners strike, and
that there IS a large increase IN the
gross yield from the mines. However,
the territCry as a whole has not re-
gained It's prosperity, the situation
being aggravated by continual diff
ficulties in transport to the east, by
the scarcity of certain raw materials
and by the rise in the cost Of liv.
ing which began in August. Since
June the French franc has been the
only legal currency in the district,
replacing the German mark. The eff
fort of the governing commission to
prevent exploitation of the currency
reform at first succeeded, but in
August and September a somewhat
alarming increase in the cost OF liv-
ing set in, the main causes being
the rarity of credits, difficulties in
obtaining supplies, the enormous rise
of prices in Germany, and the ever
widening use of the gold unit for the
establishment of prices. However.
prices are now lower than in Ger
many. The commission has adopted
measures to deal with the agitation
tendency in labor circles.
Compilation of results Of a CEN
sus taken last year shows that the
total Saar population is 713.105. The
surface of the territory is 1yS,069
square kilometers.
The commissioners express belief
that they will be able to cope with the
problem of the cost of living and
eventually succeed in balancing the
budget.
