Sees Need For
New Greek Regime
DENVER — The Greek people
are “living in a state of siege,
caught between the fighting of the
Royalists and the Communists,”
Palmer Hoyt, Jr., declared.
Speaking at the Denver Rotary
club’s luncheon meeting, Hoyt
urged American support be with
drawn from the present rightist
government and given to the for
mation of a liberal government.
Such a government he said, v/ould
include all political elements, and
be implemented by a “real am
nesty’’ for the guerrilla fighters
who have taken to the hills.
“Amnesty is the beginning of re
construction for Greece,” Hoyt de
clared. “There are an estimated
13,000 guerrillas in the mountains
of greece and probably 20 per cent
of them are Communists. The
Communists, for the present at
least, can be written off. But the
other 10,000 Greek guerrillas can
not. They are not to be saved by
flamethrowers, divebombers or
rifle bullets. They are to be saved
by amnesty.”
Hoyt recounted his observations,
during several months in Greece,
of the corruption and cruelty of
the present government, the ter
ror inflicted on citizens by the ac
tions of both rightist and leftist
groups.
“To date, the Americans have
brought UNRRA aid to Greece,” n ■
}>ointed out. “We have given th .»
Greek government one loan which,
was dissipated and now are giv
ing it arms, ammunition, civil sup
plies and a chance to participate
in the Marshall plan. If these
things are to be effective, we must
make them effective ourselves, f ?r
the Maximos-Tsaldaris govern
ment is morally incapable.
“As lung as our policy remains
as it is today, the fighting in
Greece will continue. It is olny
through American-forced reforms
that Greece can become a peace
ful and independent nation.”

the navigation system aboard the
coast guard cutter Wachusett, oni
1 which the Senators will travel, and
added:
“The*Loran system, which now!
is being used in international
trade for both surface and air!
ships, provides navigators with a
modern means of determining lo
cation at all times through bear
ings taken from radio impulses
fanning out from strategically-lo
cated bases of operation.
“Under an international pro
gram for the navigational air sys
tem. the United States coast guard
is charged with the maintenance
| of certain portions of the opera
tional bases both in the Atlantic
and Pacific. The appropriation for
this purpose was the cause for
considerable discussion on the Lo- 1
ran system in the last session of
Congress.”
