How Stalin Can Help Greece

New York, Mar. 25.

Mr Herbert Hoover, former U.S. President, told at a Greek war relief dinner to-night that a large part of the chaos and misery in Greece could be lifted "by one man in the world, if he is willing."

He added: "That man is Marshal Josef Stalin."

The former President continued: "It is within his power to stop the nggressive wor in the form of guerilia raids from Yugo-Slavian, Bulgarian and Albanian territories.

"It is within his power to see that the Communist bands in Greece stop killing and abide by constitutional means to express their views. That would bring peace to Greeee.
