ATHENS PREMIER DUpED

Instead, wever, the British attempted to get the Greek Gov ernment-i in- Greece to compromise with the Greek Government-in- Exile; and to that end, arranged a conference last spring in Leban- on. Premier Alexander Svolos of Athens started for Lebanon to rep resent the Greek Government-in- Greece. But while he was enroute, the Greek Government-in-E Exile changed Premiers, replacing Sop hocles Venezelos, son of the former liberator, with George Papandreou The Greeks in Greece considered Papandreou such a Quisling that they sent word to Premier Svolos not to sign any agreement with the Greeks in exile without commun- icating back to the Government at home
 However, when the British were asked to transmit this message to Premier Svolos in Lebanon, British Minister Rex Leeper tore it up. Il

WOULD FIGHT FOR CRETE

Meanwhile, the British have been paying one gold sovereign per month for each soldier fighting under Gen Napoleon zarvas, a pro- fessional soldier of fortune, who is also getting indirect help from the Nazis and is fighting the Greek Government-in-G Greece.
 One thing the Churchill group in Britain fears-and there is a lot of opposition to Churchill among the British people on this question is that the railroads, public utili- ties and water works built in Greece with British capital will be con- fiscated by the present anti-King George Government = in G e. They know also that the present Greek Government would never give Crete to Churchill.
 As Premier Svolos expressed it: If an Anglo-A American army comes in with the idea of keeping Crete we will fight against you as we never fought against the Germans We fought the Turks in the moun- tains of Greece for 500 years, and we will do the same against you. Copyright, 1944 by United

Surplus Supplies
CNew York Times)

CNew York Times)
 The size of the surplus stocks anticipated by some persons upon the demobilization of war economy has made the problem of their disposal almost insoluble In information study prepared for the Committee for Economic Development, Dr. A. D. H. Kaplan has analysed the components Of the antic- pated surplus supplies, as well Government owned plants and equipment
 Surplus supplies according to these estimates, will be maximum of $600O0 100000 at original cost. Three -fourths of this amount is expected to consist of ordnance material including shipping and aircraft The remaining 1500O 000000 will consist of food, clothing raw materials tools hardware motor vehicles and other items usabe in the civilian economy How ever, a major part of these civilian" supplies is expected to be held abroad and to be used to meet demands for relief and rehabilitation It is estimated that only about $500 100000 worth of supplies will be available for domestic disposal.
 These figures shed light the problem of surplus supplies Certainly, is vastly different matter to be faced with postwar stockpe of S6,- 900 100000 of goods and materials rather than the SIS 900 total which has been frequently men, tioned without qualification as to its composition. Instead of stockpile valued higher than the pre- war national income the problem will be to absorb goods valued at less than 10 per cent of that level of income If this analysis be accepted, it is clear that for the economy whole surplus supplies will be moderate and manageable, although in some lines they will undoubtedly be high.
 Dr Kaplan rightly against policy of with holding these surpluses the market in order to protect wartime price level "The fundamental principle by which every specific application of sur plus disposal policy has to be tested is that the Governments inventory should be made available for the use of consumers without unnecessary delay. When the choice must be made between a prolonged market overhang and brief crisis, the latter is preferable as the path to resumption of normal relations between supply and demand This IS a sound approach to the problem.

and the Dodecanese Islands after the war.
 Result is there are two Greek Governments-the Greek Govern ment- -in-exile, headed by the King, and the Greek Government-in- Greece. The Greek Government-in- Greece includes all Greek political factions, has put up miraculous fight against the Nazis, now con trols such a large part of Greece that Allied officials can enter by ship, tying up at the docks in broad daylight.
 1 Some U. s. experts estimate that with one Allied division and ade- quate arms for the Greek Govern ment-i in Greece, the Nazis could be chased completely out of the coun- try. s0
