Exactly where the other Italian
fortified positions captured by the
Greeks were situated was not re-

Italian airmen or the explosives

The modern mechanical dlN-

cavalry
Yet these Greeks have humili-
ated Mussolini and his legions. and
have given new hope to all those
who are fighting for liberty

That has surprised the world,
but not a few men here and there
who knew Greece during the

since were not surprised. A friend
of mine, who is a close friend of
the Greek people. with whom he
lived for seven years, proved a
good prophet before these recent

II is a curious freak of history
that the present victories OF
Greece arc partly due TO the de-
feat and tragedy which came to
Greece when Mustapha kemal
smashed their lines in Asia Minor
on the way 10 Smyrna.
This led TO an exchange OF
populations-a most lamentable
episode, it seemed then. More
than one million Greeks were ex-
PEELED from Asia Minor where
their ancestors had titled the earth
and traded for 5000 years.
The Greeks who resented their
coming. in fear that their own
economic life would be invaded
found that new strength and pros
perity came with these refugees.

See No Future
In Flax Crop

Any wartime prospects for in
creasing Michigans flax indus
try seem dim in spite of posi-
BILE shortages of fiber.
In a search for crops that
might be more profitable with
in the state, a survey under
taken by H. c. Rather, head of
the Michigan State College
crops department, indicates why
Michigan's flax probably will
remain about constant.
One factor pointed out by
Rather is that all surplus fiber
flax seed in the United States
has been marketed, much of 1t
to Peru. At one time Michigan
had an extensive fiber flax in
dustry in the Thumb District
and a mill is still operated at
Fargo in St. Clair county.
There seems to be no reason
to believe the returns from flax
seed in Michigan would prove
any more satisfactory than
those from wheat or barley or
other crops commonly grown on
good land" Rather concludes.
Even if the fiber situation
boosts flax fiber prices, there
can be no new fiber flax produc-
ton in 1941 because of lack OF
seed"
