Athens, Feb. 23.
A sharp reply to Italian wireless allegations that British help to Greece is insufficient is made by the newspaper "Estia." The paper says Greece did not undertake the struggle against the aggressor to ask for or receive British help.
"We are grateful to Great Britain for her help and the Italians more than anyone else are in a position to know how much has been given since lit is they who received the blows dealt by the British Fleet and the RAF, at Taranto, in Sicily, the Dodecanese and Albania.
"But British material help, while of prime importance in our struggle, is not the only help we have received. Help has come from the United States," Egypt, Canada, Australia, Argentina,)Dutch East Indies and every part of the world where free men breathe.
"Greece is very grateful to all countries for the help given her. One country alone is incapable of realizing the significance and very great moral importance of this help—that country is Italy, covered with shame. humiliated and made ridiculous by her own action."—Reuter.
