We can sympathize. I am sure. with the plight of the citizens of Greece. who endured so much during and after World War II to establish selfgovernment. Tribulations of the more distant past resulted in the immigration of thousands of Greeks to the United States. Many went to my State of Utahprincipally young mento work on railroad construction gangs and in the mines. Substantial sums of money earned through this hard labor were sent back to the homeland to assist needy relatives. Homes. families. and business enterprises were begun. Today. the descendants of these immigrants are among our most respected families and are most active citizens of Utah. It is now 21/2 years since the colonels regime crushed selfgovernment in Greece. During that time. their government has apparently failed to gain even a minority of supporters.
