Communist aggression. and the earthquake of the lonion Islands in 1953. in Volos and Thessalia in 1955. Achaias in 1956 and only recently in Dodecanese Islands. brought about a total destruction in Greek ports. railways. bridges. and rolling stock. not mentioning the destruction in agriculture. Greek merchant marine and industry. Thanks to the valuable and great American moral and financial assistance. the deplorable conditions and suffering were alleviated. The refugee program of 1953 accepted the earthquaked victims to immigate to the United States of America. The problem of Greece in some respect was temporarily solved. A great number of these homeless povertystricken victims. found refuge in this land of opportunity and justice for all.
