States must help. 1t must help the
Greek people because they were
among the first and the bravest in a
fight which was also ours.
But our obligation goes much far
I Their than the mere giving of money
The terrorism of the present Greek
government has been worse than that
of Argentina. 1t has been so repres-
sive that new and broader govern
ment is a first condition of the loan.
Secretary Marshall limited at the need
for this in his statement of February
IA. He wants Greece to do exactly
what he asked China to do. He wants
the people to be represented in the
government and he wants government
al oppression to cease.
AS prerequisite to the loan, am
nesty should be granted to all political
opponents. According to the best infor-
nation available, the Fam does not
represent more than 35 per cent of the
total population, and less than 20 per
cent of it's membership is communist.
They are communists largely because
of extreme misery and have little ideo-
logical knowledge of what commun-
ism is. Nevertheless, if there is to be
real peace in the Balkans, the Fam
must have fair representation in the
cabinet. The coalition cabinet should
be continued until misery, hatred and
tension have lessened sufficiently to
permit free election and the return
to party government
Another sensible prerequisite to
loan to Greece had to do with the |
Greek system of taxation, which at !
present discriminates against the poor
in favor of the wealthy. The loopholes |
for graft, including the possibility of |
speculation in foreign exchange and I
he export of capital, should be stop
ped.
Finally, 1 don't think we ought to
make a loan to Greece unless we know
he proceeds will be spent as part of
IN overall program of rehabilitation
md reconstruction. This means tech
lical aid, economic guidance and lay
ng the foundations for self-support-
ng and democratic Greece.

more adequate salaries for their teach
ers"
Sen. Murray pointed out that safe
guards have been established in S 1857
to ensure state and local control of ed
ucation. Also the interest of the fed
eral government is protected, accord
ing to the Montana senator, in the pro-
vision which states: "the receipt of
funds by a state shall not be used as
a basis for the reduction of the annual
rate of salary paid for any teaching po-
sition in it's public schools below the
rate in effect for such position on July
1, 1917"
In appraising the effect of the bills
passage on the 5000 public school
teachers of Montana, Sen. Murray es.
timated that approximately $2,00O,OO0
would be provided by the federal gov
eminent for the increase of teachers
salaries to supplement the estimated
SIS, 100000 already being paid through
state and local sources in Montana.

VictOrs In NLRB
Election

Following long period of success
full organizing efforts, the Missoula
Transfers union reports the winning
of bargaining rights at the Missoula
Mercantile wholesale grocery and drug
warehouses. 1t is said that the COM

This is considered major victory
for the Transfers local of Missoula

the Way TO help GREECE

/ am sure that the American people,
even in their present state of excessive
fear of Russia, will never sanction a
loan to Greece or any other country
for the sake of maintaining a rOyalist-
manned army designed to Cypress peo-
pie whose crime is that they are living
in utter want and don't like it and be-
lieve that something ought to be done
about it,
Greece, the mother of modern civil
cation, is one of the most poverty
stricken countries in all Europe.
Smaller than the state of Iowa, she
has far less good land than Iowa. Her
average farmer produces less than one
tenth as much as the average Iowa
farmer. She needs to learn the sci
ence Of fertilizing, crop rotation and
control Of animal disease. She needs
modern agricultural machinery. Mod
ern industry can be started in the cit
les. Dams could be built to develop
the power possibilities of the rivers.
But Greece cannot do this alone.
I don't believe in American imper-
ialism, but as a stop-gap I believe that
it is enlightened selfishness for the
United States to step in now with a
well planned, efficiently administered
loan.
The Greek need is world need and
the Greek problem is world problem.
The disintegration and chaos of
Greece are a menace to the world and
therefore the responsibility of the Uni
ted Nations. The welfare of the Greek
people demands that we make the
loan. The safety of all peoples de-
nands that we take the initiative in
the Greek issue before the
UN.
The UN must do what needs to be |
lone to solve the Greek problem with
n permanent framework of world |
security so as to guarantee the well
are of all the people of Europe.
