The entire region of Grevena, in Western Mace
donia, was reported to be under the control of guerillas, In despatches published by the Athens Press yesterday. One report stated that only four of the 104 villages were still controlled by the Greek authorities. Grevena Itself, (from which the despatches originated) was still controlled by the Government. Grevena is the headquarters of the Governor- General of Western Macedonia, Anastassios Dalipis. This is in the area where the gueril- las are said to be creating an independent *state.

We recommend that save in the matter of rent, express provision be made for contracting out of legislation. There may be numer ous cases in which landlords, may of be prepared to let their premises for a limited period only on cer- tain, conditions, such as that they may recover them for purposes of sale, and to prohibit such free-. dom of contract would not be con- ducive to improving the situation in regard to the housing short- äge.
