: Second Christmas Since Big War
Finds Trouble In Ten Countries

And flghtlng IN Iran between gov
eminent forces and Azerbaijan's
Moscow - supported seekers OF
autonomy has just ended.
The Greek and Polish govern
ments fight GUERILLA dissidents
Palestine, Egypt and the Sudan are
troubled by nationalist demonstra-
tons, sometimes violent.
Chinese Nationalist battle Chin
csc Communists in a civil wal that
had its inception in the twenties.
The Philippine government fights
insurgent peasants.
In colonial Asia, India's two big
cultural communities - Hindus and
Moslems,-are embroiled in riots
as the country struggles toward
independence with British consent.
Nationalist uprisings bother the
French in Indochina and the Dutch
in Java and Sumatra.
Here is the picture, country by
country:
Greece-Virtual civil war exists
throughout northern Greece. Guer-
rillas described by the authorities
as Communists, in bands of from
100 to 1000 armed with mortars,
heavy machine guns and automatic
rifles, attack mountain gendarme
and military posts and villages,
and the army fights back with
mopup drives.
The Communist press calls the
movement resistance" against
''Monarcho-Fascism" and says it is
entirely native. The royalist gov
eminent, which has close ties with
Britain, says the bands get direc-
ton and some supplies and leader
ship from Bulgaria, Yugoslavia
and Albania, it's Soviet-oriented
neighbors to the North - who deny
this charge.
Poland - the provisional govern
ment, friendly to the Soviet Union,
sporadically fights underground
armies seeking it's overthrow, and
also night-raiding Ukranian nation
alists.
Some Poles estimate the govern
ment strength al 1873, 900 to $50, 900
security police, 155, 900 in the reg
ular army, 100, 900 in the citizens
eserve militia and, in addition, a
regular militia.
Palestine - British, Jewish and
Arab clashes have turned the Holy
Land into a land of violence where
over $50 have been killed this year
and property losses hae mounted
to an estimated $40, 900, 900. The
Jews, generally, want a Jewish
national home; the Arabs, gener-
ally, an independent state, in
which they would have a big ma
jority. The British seek to keep
the peace and hang OIL to their
Eastern Mediterranean strategic
outpost.
Jews trying to enter the country
despite British immigration restric-
tons clash with the military. Jew
ish underground terrorist organiza-
tons harass the British by mining
highways, attacking vehicles and
blowing up public buildings.
Egypt - Nationalist demon
strate against the continued pres.
ence of British troops. The British
have a stake in the country through
it's proximity to the Suez canal and
to Middle-East oil. Sporadic fight
ing occurs between students and
other demonstrators on the one
hand and soldiers and police on the
other. Last spring demonstrations
led to clashes with British troops
and unseated a government. Hand
grenades are thrown into police
stations and into British troops'
favorlte bars and restaurants.

PERSIA'S
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Too few of us give thought to
Persia, now Iran, the nation that
has outlived all other great ma
tons, because it's rulers long ago
delt kindly with Gods people
And it was from Persia that the
Wise-Men came, seeking the King.
Their was no idle scholarly srecu-
lation, INDUCED in library ease.
These seekers made a long, hard
and dangerous journey across the
great desert; the same road that
Abraham had taken to Canaan;
and the one that the Hebrew eXiles
had marked by blood and tears.
Christmastide honors the men,
because they put into effect their
spiritual concern.
When truth is glimpsed, it must
be followed. Nothing is more de-
%teriorating to character than effort
less discussion of truth and duty.
Only that quest is real which sets
one to journeying. The practical

He explained that, pursuant to the
recent Government order, bakeries
are reducing the weight of their
bread products in order to conserve
flour.
At a recent meeting held between
representatives of the North Caro-
lima Bakers Council and the Off
Gals of the State Agriculture De-
partment it was agreed that cards
informing the public of the short
weight of the bread and rolls would
be preferable to having new wrap
pers printed, according to Scott. He
said that the order, in effect only
through June 80, would otherwise
have necessitated considerable waste
of paper and involved large PRINT
