AVe face dark days united in dignity and patience.” The newspaper Rpoini thus typifies the proud courage of the Greeks hi their hour of agony.

Now we arm our hearts with patience.” Asyrmatos says: “We face our adversity. We stay here because we are masters of this bind sanctified by the blood of our forefathers, our brothers and our children.” Estia says: “Cruel days await Greece. We are all convinced that these sufferings will not be for long.” The Athens radio said: “Hold Greece in your hearts. Greece will revive. Greece will be great again.”
