These comparisons are based on reports received by the Greek War Relief Association from the International Red Cross Commit tee in Greece. The rer orts reveal that even if the Greeks had enough moray-most of them have long since sold everything they had to pay for the barest necessities-there is very little of any of these commodities to be had. They can be bought only on the so-called Black Market" and ever the illicit traders are fast disappearing from the scene in Greece.
 For most of the people of Greece, relief shipments of food from this continent afford the only hope for subsistence.
