manufacturer will sell at prices

Whereupon Mr.. Stocks &

sells securities that are guaran-
teed to pay off because the com
pany has a monopoly in the field
and there is no competition.
THAT'S one of the biggest
hooks in Mr.. S. & BIS story. This
is 1947, not 1860. Manufacturers
may have been competing to beat

One producer, or handful,

Macedonian Army Drive Likely
Before u. S. Arms Aid Can Arrive

IN some areas there has been too
much rainfall, with resulting ILL
effect on crops, while In other areas
drought menaces production.
Most Of the early vegetables have
been destroyed, except in few parts
Of the country. Excessive rainfall
has damaged production In the ia
nous tobacco regions Of Xanthi, Sa-
lonika and Kayalla. Seventy per
cent OF the potato crop has been de-
stroyed, while the vineyards have
suffered damage estimated at be-
tween 40 and 100 per cent. Cattle
breeding also has been hampered,
with serious effects on dairy pro-
duction.
Fighting Uphill Battle.
All these factors contribute to the
lowering Of morale Of the Greek
soldiers, who receive letters from
their people back home complaining
about the growing shortage Of food.
The Greek Army has been fighting
an uphill battle ever since liberia
tion. It is gradually firing out. The
government appeals to its pa
triotism, but the Indifferent results
Of the two widely publicized Of
fensives, which were supposed to
smash guerrilla resistance in the
northern mountains, lead many
soldiers to doubt the army's ability
to end the campaign quickly. There
is nothing more demoralizing for
an army than to have to fight an
almost invisible enemy without
joining In a major encounter.
The morale Of the Greek soldiers
has been further affected by the
fact that the investigating commits
sion sent by the UN has departed.
To these men, who are not aware
of the intricacies Of high interna-
tional politics, the commissions fall
ure to stop the fighting was a seri-
Gus blow. They believed that the
and highly advertised UN
commission would be able to end
their ordeal, permitting them to re-
turn to their homes.
The Macedonian high COM
mand" is aware of these difficulties
Of the Greek Army and is reported
to have decided to take advantage
of the situation. According to avail
able reports, 1t is determined to
launch a major offensive within the
next few weeks, before American
