Mr. Chairman. when in Athens last summer I went through one of the large Greek settlements where refugees have been brought back from Turkey. About 1.400.000 Greeks in all were brought back. and something over $50.000.000 to date .expended by the commission. To show how coincidences may occur. within an hour I received a letter from the president of the conunfission. Mr. Charles B. Eddy. the first communication I have had from him for six months. in which he says that they have had a settlement in Geneva of the American claims with Greece and that $12.000.000 additional has been loaned by the American Government for the use of Greek refugees. It is not possible for all Members of Congress to visit countries of Europe that are still suffering from the effects of tile World War or from general economic depression. It is equally impossible at long range fully to comprehend conditions in those countries. both internal and external.
