Greece, Turkey are Anchors
Of Ring Around Communism
By The Ainocialtd Pre
Orcece and Turkey, the new part
ners in the North Atlantio Pact,
re southern anchors of the mas
live defensive ring being forged in
Europe against the threat of Soviet
aggression.
Their strategic Importance has
long been recognized by Hussla and
the western democratic world.
Turkey, astride the Dardanelles,
bottles up Russia Inside the Black
Sea, Just short of the Mediterran
ean. For years Moscow has sought
warm water ports. One of the
Kremlin's main objectives has been
an agreement with Ankara giving
Russia use of the straits and near
by bases. This, the Turkish govern
ment always refused.
Orcece blocks oif the satellites
from access to the Mcdlteranean.
The Greek border Is between Bul
garia and the Aegean Sea. And
with Tito's defection in Yugoslavia,
the Red sphere was cut off from
the Adriatic Sea which empties into
the Mediterranean. Tito's break
with Moscow also Isolated Albania,
weakest of the little buffer statr.s.
Immediately after World War II.
Greece was torn by Red-Inspired
revolts. Many guerrilla attacks
were mounted from Romania. Al
bania and the then subservient Yu
goslavia. American aid began to pour into
both Greece and Turkey In 1947
under the Truman Doctrine. It has
continued without interruption.
Greece has had something under
$2,000,000,000 In aid and Turkey
around (400,000,000.
Both Greece and Turkey are
small and comparatively poor coun
tries but they are not military nvir-
mles. They can muster 2.600,000
troops and they fight well. Greece
Is about the size of Alabama: Tur
key is a little larger than Texas.
Greece has 7,600,000 people; Tur
key 20,934,000.
Neither nation Is self-sufficient.
Both must import goods to live. So
both must sell.
Greece has been having a partic
ularly hard time because Commu
nist Guerrillas dragged out the ag
ony of World War II destruction.
Bridges, roads and ports were in
ruins. Thousands of villages were
burned over twice. Livestock was
killed, and farm tools were de
stroyed or stolen. At one point 750.
000 refugees from the farming sec
tions were living in tin shacks
around Alliens to escape the Com
munists. Finally the Ouerrillas were
defeated in September. 1949. Farm
ers moved back to their wrecked
fields.
The farmers' return was basic to
the economy. Only a fourth of
Greece's land can be tilled for
crops, yet 75 percent of the w orkers
are farmers.
Greece is still far from paying
her own way in world markets,
but production is creeping upward.
In the year ending June, 1951,
Greece Imported goods worth $434,
000,000 and sold goods worth $95,-
000,000.
Food from abroad is one of the
big Greek expenses. Bcioro World
iWar 11, she produced only 70 per
cent of the food she ate. That
diuinpca uttaiy miring ana just alt
er the war. But now it is up to
77 per cent. For the first time
Greece is producing all the rice and
cotton she needs.
The U. S. helped on that. U. S.
aid furnished fertilizers, farm Im
plements, mules, horses, cows and
technical advisers. Some land Is be
ing drained, to add to the produc
tive area.
Qrecces top exports arc tobacco
and traits. Tins past year she ex
ported some cement for the first
time since the wur.
She has some low grade coal de
posits which arc opened up with
the U. S. aid, and soma small fac
tories are being built close by. In
two years technicians say the coal
deposits will be going well enough
to produce all the fuel Greece
needs which means one mere ba
sic item they won t have to spend
foreign exchange on.
Turkey stayed out of World War
II. So she escaped the destruction
Greece suffered. But she keeps a
large army which Is a drain on the
rest of the economy.
However, for the calendar year
she came very near to footing her
own bills In world markets. She
bought goods worth J393.800.000 and
sold goods worth $312,200,000. Her
largest exports were tobacco, cot-
