ATHENS tBy MaiD Greek cur
rency is shot to pieces and there !:
very little gold in the vaults of the
Bank OF Greece to support it.
Through various artif1ces the cur
rency is maintained at 5000 drach-
mas to the dollar, but this is only
nominal The prewar exchange was
$50 drachmas to the dollar.
Actually the dollar, the pound
sterling and the Swiss franc-the
only hard currencies in the inter.
national markets-are quoted much
higher in the black market in
Greece as in all other European
countries. Depreciation of the cur
rency is due as much to the political
situation as to generally unsettled
economic conditions
Life is hard in Greece, where a
two-pound loaf of bread costs SO
cents and a pound of scrub apples
40 cents. Oranges, which are grown
in Greece, cost $1.05 a dozen.
The basic cause for these high
prices is not speculation but diff
culties of transportation. Not only
are the railroads in poor shape, but
lack Of security on the highways
makes travel more than so miles
from patrolled center serious
hazard.
A meal in second-class restau-
rant costs about 81, while first-class
establishments, patronized only by
foreigners and the few remaining
wealthy Greeks. are about twice
as expensive.
All manufactured consumers
goods have to be imported from
abroad. Italy, France and Turkey
do not require payment in healthy

Lack Of Foreign Funds
May Reduce Buying Of
U. 5. Goods by 1948
sy the Assoeiotsd Press

The Agriculture Department said
today that lack OF funds may cut
down foreign buying of American
goods by the end Of the year.
This buying is said to be one OF
the prime factors keeping food
prices high.
The department said, however,
that because the food situation
abroad remains critical. exports of
farm products may continue at the
high 1916 rate, providing foreign
countries can augment their dollar
supplies by increasing their ship
ments to this country.
American gifts and loans abroad
already earmarked for farm prod
ucts will finance $500, 900 900 less OF
agricultural exports in 1947 than in
1946, the agency said. These ex-
ports last year represented 81 ,5O0,-
600 900 of the SIS, SOC, 900, 900 total OF
all goods and services.
Average Price to Remain High.
Predicting that the sharpest re-
duction in foreign buying will be
for nonfood items and that domestic
consumer demand for food will con-
tinue strong, the department ex-
pressed the opinion that average
prices received by farmers will re-
main high during the next few
months.
Prices will get further support, the
department said, from prospective
reduction Of about per cent in all
crops from last years high level.
Likewise, the general level OF
prices paid by farmers for items
used in farm production and in
family living is expected to remain
high during the next few months.
Seasonal Decline Expected.
Here is the way the Department
expects prices and supplies OF majol
farm and food products to stack up

LADY, THAT MINER IS COUNTING ON YOU! Or on some one you know who plans to burn anthracite coal next winter. It's a fact that coal dealers haven't room enough to store all the an- thracite that will be burned in the coming cold weather. And if the dealers can't take it, the miners can't dig it. Solution is for All coal users Yes! YouD to put in winter supplies of anthracite NOW. The problem is so serious many dealers are offering special sum- mer discounts on next winters coal delivered during the dog days. Whats more, fuel shortage would send prices sky-rocketing when cold weather does come, and a shortage is inevitable unless coal IS dug this summer. Here's one fuel you can be sure of, if you call your dealer now. Remember what went on in England last February, and don't let it happen here!
