FAMINE IN GREECE
THOUSANDS DYING DAILY IN ATHENS AND PIRAEUS. RESPONSIBILITY DENIED. BY NAZIS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) STOCKHOLM, February 23. Admitting that at least 2,000 persons are dying daily in Athens and Piraeus a Berlin spokesman said Germany was willing to agree to the transport of a consignment of Australian wheat to Greece from Alexandria, for which the Greeks would pay. Germany thus was not responsible for the present situation in Greece. He added: “The Greeks are not dying from starvation, but from illness resulting from undernourishment. Epidemics spread like wildfire. A complete lack of coal has caused many deaths among undernourished people in unheated houses.”
