Greek Woes
Complicated
Says Keller
(Exclusive to tlie Dally NobraHknn)
Americans tend to over-simr
plify the troubles of Greece and
therefore are likely to be disap
pointed in the accomplishments
of the American Mission for Aid
to Greece.
This opinion
was expressed

six months in
Greece. He was Lincoln Journal.
press- o f f i c er Keller,
for the American Mission.
"Before I left for Greece," Kel
ler said, "I heard a good deal
about the task of 'rehabilitating
Greece. Much was said about the
damage and suffering caused dur
ing the war years. I concluded
that the job of the mission was
primarily one of repairing war
damage and erasing the marks of
war suffering, so far as possible.
'I came away, from Greece con
vinced that the problem is not one
of 'rehabilitation. It is one of
building anew. The ills of Greece
are not rooted in the war years.
They run deep into generations of
sub-marginal existence. It's opti
mistic to the point of absurdity to
expect a group of strangers to
dissolve such troubles in one or
two years."
Keller gave these examples of
deeply rooted troubles:
1. Though 65 percent of the 7,
000,000 Greek population is en
gaged in agriculture, the nation
for years has been unable to sup
ply all its own food.
2. Not just since the war, but
for many years, Greece has been
unable to establish a stable, en
during government.
3. Though the war shattered
Greece's educational system, the
system before the war was doing
little, if anything at all, toward
equipping young people for a
realistic and productive life in
Greece.
4. By nature, the Greeks are a
proud people but the necessity of
accepting help from others for
generations has weakened sadly
their ability to produce leader
ship. 5. Understandably, the Greeks
have no confidence in their own
currency hence Greek wealth is
not put to work but kept as liquid
(usually in gold) as possible,
ready for flight.
' These gloomy observations, Kel
ler said, have failed to convince
him that American efforts in
Greece are hopeless.
"You still can t escape the real
ization that without the American
Mission's existence, Greece would
be a Communist satelite today,"
Keller said. "And you know, after
visiting Greece and looking at
mission records, that had it not
been for American aid, starvation
in Greece would be acute.
"If those two things are im
portant in t' eyes of Americans,"
he added, "then in less than nine
months, the mission has done
some good."
