Greek Dilemma

1
word is dilemma" which means a
forced choice between two unpleas-
ant alternatives. We do not yet
know whether German diplomacy has
actually begun to put pressure on
Greece, but when the time comes
| Greece will be faced with a dilemma
of the most tragic kind. Whether
the Greek government bows to Ger
man demands and agrees to make
peace with the axis or whether it
sticks to Britain and defieS the axis,
Greece itself is liable to be literally
torn aSunder in the struggle between
Britain and the axis powers which
will then ensue.
This tragic possibility arises from
the fact that, unlike the other Bal
kan states, Greece is both land and
a sea power. Even the Greek main
land is deeply indented with bays
and CULTS, while beyond stretch
fringes of islands. The entire Aegean
Sea is an archipelago of Greek is
lands eliminating in the great island
of Crete. Indeed, both the Dodec-
aneSe and Cyprus, though under
Italian and British rule respectively,
are Greek in population and feeling.
For that matter, the entire Eastern
Mediterranean is dotted with Greek
commercial colonies, since through
out that area the Greek is a universal
middleman. From its islands, it's
rowing traders, and its large mer-
chant marine, Greece derives the
major part of its wealth and pros
perity.
Now all these factors are pledges
to keep on good terms with the
dominant Mediterranean sea power,
which is Britain. Since Italys wan
ton attack last autumn, Greece has
welcomed Britain as its ally. The
isles of Greece have been at Britain'S
disposal, notably Crete, a strategic
crossroads, where powerful British
naval and air bases have been estab-
lished and have proved invaluable.
1t is almost unthinkable that Britain
would abandon Crete or would allow
the other Greek islands to fall into
axis hands. Hence, if the Greek gov
ernment makes peace with the axis
it can carry with it only the main
land. Insular Greece will presumably
remain under British control.
Yet, because of its long northern
borders in Albania, Macedonia and
Thrace, Greece is vulnerable to at
tack by land, and it is doubtful
whether, even with British aid, the
mainland can be defended against a
major axis attack all along the line.
In that case, German and Italian
armies might surge southwark to the
SeacoaStS, where they would be met
and harried by British and refugee
Greek forces operating from numer-
GUS island bases and perhaps en-
trenched in the southernmost penin-
sula of Peloponnesos as well. All
Greece would thus become a battle
ground of the most complicated
character, with deplorable conse-
quences to the Greeks themselves,
no matter which way the struggle
turned out.
Such are the grim possibilities
which confront Greek leaders as they
survey their darkening political hori-
zon. 1t is heart-rending to think
that the people which share with
the Firms the heroic laurels of this
war epoch should now be threatened
with a peril worse even than Fin
land endured.

Tomas Bata, the shoe manufacturer.

no disposition In this book to prove that
the Czechs were unstained by sin. 1t
Is clear that they wished to be sinless,
and that is rare aspiration in our world.
The book is beautifully bound and

WORLDS RAREsT STAMP

The most valuable bit of paper in the
world today was only worth one cent in
1856, when it was printed as one of a small
issue of postage stamps by British Guiana,
IN South America. The colony had run out
of regular stamps furnished by the British
government, and printed a small number
for use until a new supply arrived.
Only one stamp of that issue is now
known to exist, and it is owned by the
widow of the late Arthur NJ Hind of Utica,
N. Y, who accumulated the most valuable
collection of stamps ever known. Hind paid
$50, 500 for it in 1922, and it is now valued
at $4,000.
The stamp was first identified as
rarity in 1876, when a 14-year-old boy
found it on an old family letter and sold it
for sixsshillings to local collector, who
later disposed of it as part of collection
which brought him $500. "a s,a5s sar
It next passed into the hands Of Count
Ferrari, Europe's greatest collector, who
paid $3.50 for it. When his collection was
sold, Hind bought the Guiana stamp for the
record breaking price mentioned. and of
fered to give it as a present to the late King
George of Great Britain. who was an en-
thusiastic stamp collector, but the king
could not see his way to accept it.
A small part of the Hind collection was
sold at auction in London few years ago,
when less than dozen of the rarest stamps
brought total of S165.00o in one days
sale.

FOR A LIFELONG TRADE

Young men of Key West who have the
opportunity of attending the NYA-state
education department school for radio
operators-if they are at all inclined in
that direction or have not yet decided what
they do want in the way of employment
will be foolish if they permit the course to
die because Of lack of students.
Close to the point where they will be
forced to close the school because of govern
ment regulations requiring at least 10
pupils to a class, local education depart
ment men are puzzled by the apathy dis
played toward what they consider one of
their most valuable studies.
Although the course is longer and
more difficult than those required for SIM
pier trades, its advantages over the quickly
learned trades ought to be fairly obvious.
Vocational education leaders, as well
as men here who have taken an interest in
finding work for boys just out of school,
hardly feel it is necessary to self the radio
business. With the aviation industry ex-
pected to reach previously unheard of di-
mansions at the end of the war, with the
United States returning to its ancient policy
of commanding merchant marine, and
with the multitude of other radio uses just
getting underway, it shouldn't be neces-
sary to- Explain that it is a good trade.
Byapplying himself to the radio train
ing course-at no expense to himself-a
young man has the opportunity of embark
ing year from now on a career which he
car follow profitably for the rest of his life.
During the last eight months of train
ing at the governments New London,
Conn, school, it is quite possible he will
find himself earning less money than many
of his friends who have snatched up jobs
as unskilled laborers on defense jobs.
At the same time, it should be some
satisfaction to know that he will be acquir-
ing training which will earn him far
more than laborer's pay through the re-
mainder of his life, plus the assurance that
the end of the defense building boom will
not cut off even that pay.

And without doubt, the writer

Because of the misinterpreta-

manliness, it has been exceedingly
hard for man to discover and play
his cast in the world. To me as a
writer, think it is much easier to
find perfect example of man.

bued in the last 1900 years of
history we see the figure of Jesus
as he says, 81 and my father are
one. "Jn 1880. And, BE we there

which is in heaven is perfect
Matt 5:48. Then, deducting we
find in the Messiah aperfect ex-
ample of Manliness.
Science has shown US that there
is stronger inherited tendency
in woman than in man and while
the true examples of manhood
have been jumbled up, one would
ask, whittier to be like Hitler,
Caesar, Socrates or Jesus. Each
exhibiting a phase of living that
has a eommendable aspect.
The desire for power, strength
and prominence has ragged within
the bosom of the hearts of so
many men that it is hard to de-
velop the spirit of love that God
intended to be predominant in
man.
Most all authors and public
speakers ridicule man as an alb
surd failure. The modern writer
seldom gives man credit as
Father, picturing him as a brute.
Much is said about the failure of
David, Lot and Ahab as Old
Testament fathers, but few
words relate the experiences of
Noah, Abraham and Solomon as
wise fathers who led their chill
dren to respectable positions in
the spiritual world
Mans greatest weakness as a
Father is the failure TO be piloted
by the success of others. Some
call it selfishness, and others
pseudo-pride and still others, hui
man nature, but when all said and
done, the greatest desire within
the heart of a sane man is to de-
velop that God given instinct Of
love, when mingled with pure
strength and sincere pride exhi-
bits the most respectable citizens
we have.
God has a great dependency in
the Fathers of a Christian Ma
ton, that even as Abraham's chill
dren became blessing TO the en-
tire Christian world, evenso
should the children of Christian
fathers prove today, the guiding
light to world surrounded by the
darkness of heathenism is not
what we gain, but what we do. :
