DEATHS IN GREECE
THE GERMAN ATTITUDE
(Rec. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 23
Admitting that at least 2000 people are dying daily in Athens and the Piraeus, a Berlin spokesman said that Germany is willing to agree to the transport of a consignment of Australian wheat to Greece from Alexandria for which Greeks have paid. Germany thus was not responsible for the present situation in Greece.
He added that the Greeks were not dying of starvation but from illness resulting from under-nourishment/ Epidemics spread like wildfire. The complete lack of coal caused many deaths among under-nourished people in unheated houses.
