There is a special feature about the situation of Greece. Greece is a very siaall country. It has an area of about 24.000 square miles and a population at the latest estimate of 4.500.000. and of that number l.300.000. or 28 per cent. are refugees. Greece can barely support her own people. In fact there is a constant emigration from Greece. There have been forced uw)on her these 1.300.000 refugees. chiefly from. Smyrna. who hve been driven out of Turkey In Asia and forced to take refuge in a country of their racial. origin. the country which I am sure appeals. by its extraordinary history. to everybody. ]:It is not the fault of Greece. They have not failed in supporting their own people. but it is a tremendous burden to put upon such a small county to care for such a vast number of refugees. Much has beemn (lone by other countries through private clhrities. In the resolution of the Senator from Oregon is also included the case of Armenia.
