Speech #680178637

I will answer the gentleman from Illinois by saying that while I was in Athens I met there a number of engineers--waterworks engineerswho were trying to get the Government to establish a new water plant in Athens. The water plant in Athens was built 1.600 years ago. and they need a new one. They do not use much water inside or out in Europe. but they are thinking seriously of putting in a new plant in Athens. and the engineers from America were there. and I met them in the offlices of the attache. and while I was there the contracts were made I will say further to the gentleman from Illinois that while I was in Athens the Government of England furnished the Greek Government with $10.000.0@0 to help the refugees from Turkey residing in Greece. And a part of tIme fund was made available for horses and cows. so that the refugees could establish themselves on farm land. Horses and cows are higher in Greece than in the United States. and the day this fund was made available I saw an American commercial attach6 cable New Orleans. St.
