...export earnings. Meanwhile despite restrictive government policies and tight credit, imports remain high and the trade gap is running at $220 million for the second consecutive year. Unemployment has gone up (2.5% of the work force), production has fallen, and investment is at a virtual standstill. Forest products-including paper and pulp-which employ over 20% of the work force and account for two-thirds of Finnish exports, are badly squeezed. Timber owners, mostly small farmers, are holding out for higher prices. Some mills closed down this year, others are working at insignificant margins or at a loss. "Against this...

Its analyses of politicians and their motives, its editorial comments, and its careful chronologies, are strikingly absent in American newspapers. The New York Time's lack of perspective on crucial matters, such as the King's interests, is never so apparent as after reading The Hellenic-American. The paper includes literary reviews and mood articles on Greek scenes, but this writing is generally feeble. The superb editorial page and foreign coverage, provided by correspondents and travelers in Greece...
