fluence." So ...
There was" no mention of Russia
by name, or of the Russian satel
lites In the Balkans.
Greek communist guerrilla forces
reportedly have drawn ajd from
Greece's communist - dominated
neighbors.
Mr. Truman said economic as
sistance can be given Greece un
der the proposed European recovery
program.
He added:
No .Military Aid
"Tlie European recovery program
w ill not provide, however, tor any
additional military assistance re
quired for Greece and Turkey,
which will, at the appropriate time,
be sought from the congress under
public law 75."
Public law 75 Is the one under
which Greek-Turkish aid funds
were voted last year.
The president said of the situa
tion in Greece:
"It is signilirant that the guer
rilla warfare is directed not against
the Greek army but against the
people of Greece. The deliberate
and wanton destruction of Greek
villages dors not result from mili
tary engagements. It is determined
and ruthless destruction intended
to render people homeless and
drive them from the soil; to force
them into overcrowded urban cen
ters where they become charges of
an already overburdened state; and
to create for them conditions of
misery and hardship in the hope
that this will make them suscept
ible lo political agitation."
Mr. Truman snld the guerrilla
bands "which traffic in human
misery and chaos'' are too small
to be "truly representative" of any
large part of the Greek popula
tion. He said they total about 20,000
and a large proportion of these
were forced into "the guerrilla
ranks under threat of death to
themselves and their families."
He said, however, that the com
munist policy "Is sapping the eco
nomic strength" of Oreece while
the American mission for aid to
that country Is seeking to build
it up.
