Political Situation Stands In
Way OF $780, 00,0 900
Loan

GENEVA, June 23.-Outlining the
American policy for aid to Greek
refugees OF the Asia minor debacle,
F. A. Dolbeare, state department
representative. who is meeting the
League of Nations financial COM
mittee to discuss the problem. told
the committee that the United States
had found 1t impossible to- continue
further piece-meal efforts in relief.
He urged international collabora-
tien in q comprehensive plan aimed
at permanent settlement of the sit
uation, and said that meanwhile the
American Red Cross and the Ameri-
can Near East relief would continue
their temporary aid.
NJ. Parmentier, French delegate,
who has recently returned from
Greece. said that the Greek govern
ment's guarantees for suggested
$50,o00,000 International loan were
sufficient, but that the Greek politi-
cal situation was uncertain and the
present revolutionary government
was under the heaviest mobilization
expenses. He, therefore, advised the
league to be most cautious in any
support of the loan.
In the summer of 1923 the Greek
army. whose invasion of Anatt1ia
had penetrated Deyond Eskl-Schler'
broke and fled before Turkish troops.
The retreat ended In the Smyrna fire,
an armistice, and the Lausanne con-
ference.
With the army appearing. Greek
and Armenian Christians fled from
Turkey. The number was augu-
inented to 100000, later refugees
from Oriental Thrace. The refugees
arrived destitute, an insupportable
burden on Greece, which was total
population of only 100000. Ameri-
can relief organization have fed
them throughout the past wilmer.
When the American relief Is with
drawn there seems little hope of
finding employment for the refugees
unless some way Of financing their
settlement in agriculture can be
found. The s5o.ooo,ooo loan Is asked
for this purpose.
The Gtntas government. which
came into power through the Septem-
Der revolution, has not yet ventured
to hold elections to test Its following
with tho people. Its stability, and,
therefore, the financial value OF any
indebtedness 1t assumes, cannot
therefore, be guaranteed.
