Despite the efforts of UNRRA, millions of Greeks are starving today. Thanks to the inefficiency of the government, Greece has no income tax, no rationing, and no price controls. The violent fighting between the rightist X-ites and the leftist EAM, if allowed to break out into full-scale civil war would mean the final tragedy for a whole people, whose heroism in the war against the Axis is excelled by no other.
