Washington, Nov. B.—America is the nation most beloved in the Near East. The unseliish reties work for the Arme- nians and Greeks has not only won the love of these peoples but has also e: roed the respect and admiration of the Turks, according to the Rev. Samuel McCrea “avert, one of the two ceneral secreta- ries of the Federal Council of Churches, who spent several wecks in the Near East studying relief measures. Return- ing from Athens he says: “Wherc ver one travels in the Near Fast today he meets most eloquent tes- tiz.ony to the superb service rendered by the American people through the Near East Relief. Most vivid of all is the evideice of thousands of orphaned children, now safe and happy in well- kept orphanages, and of other thousands of penniless but grateful Armenian and Greek retugees, most of whom would to- day be in unknown graves but for the mercifu! work of the Near East Re- lief. ““‘Almost equally moving is the open gratitude of the Greek nation as a whole, and of what would be tsday the Arme- nian nation execept for the fragic injus- tice of recent history. The affection of a whol2 people for Anerica as a result of what has been done, one may ob erve anywhere, in low guarters or high. “*I sat in a train beside a Greek farm- er who could speak only broken words of English. ‘You American? America good to us.” The simple fact that I was an A nerican interested in religious and philanthropiec work opened doors to the most irfluential cireies in Greece. The Archbishop of the Orthodox Greek Church, Prime Minister Gonatas, Col. Plastiras, the Caietf of the so-called Re- volution, and even His Majesty,. King GGeorge, spoke to me, as the main sub- ject of conversation, of their apbpreeia- tion of what the Awmerican people. had done for Greeece. His Graee the Arvch- bisLop declared that he saw in the work ; of the Near East Relief a great indica- “ tion of the spiritual power and vitality . of the American Churches. The King - said: ‘Tell your people we shzll not ~ forget how they helped us in our hour of terrible need.’ ‘“Aunique demonstration of this grati- tude oceurred at the time of President Harding’s death, while I was in Athens. In spite of the faet that the Govern- ment of the United States and the Gov- ernment of Greece are still in a techni- . cal state of severed diplomtic relations the Greek refugees with the help of the - Government and their Church plunned a memorial serviee to our Piesident as ' an expression of their grief for the loss . of one who was the symbol of American - {friendship. “It was a memorable sight. Packed . into the Catbedral were tho:sands of '+ reverent refugees, while other thou- sands of refugees and orphans thronged the square outside. One wonders whe- ther amdd all the notiable memorial services held throuzhout the world any ' would have been more gratifying to the . President than this spontaneous tribute | in the liturgy of a foreign chureh, of . affection for the people of whom he was . the head. | ““Even up>n the Turkish nation the work of the Near East felief has not been without its est :¢t. In spite of oeea- -8 onal anvoying vestrictions, the impres- siun of unselfisa humanitarian servie» made by the Near Kast Relief has been so strong that during ail these months of fermz2nt and turmoil the organizition has been able to maintain its eentral office in Constantinople and to ecarry -n there its program of saving the victims of Turkish policies. On my last even- ing in Constantinople tbe lurkish High Commissioner, Adnin Boy, eame to din- ner with a group of the Near East Re- lief personnel and so far as a stranger could judge showed no other (feeiing than that of appreeiative recognition of the spirit of its work.
