Book excerpt: Excerpt from Survey of the Hospitals of Greece, 1919 The view that the Greek hospitals did not need our help has cost much suffering and many lives, and is a good example of the disaster which may follow when the opinions of responsible persons, based on insufficient data, are given currency. The same argument made against aiding Greek hos pitals would have applied equally well in France. These countries were not appealing to the American Red Cross as paupers and suppliants, but as our Allies engaged in the greatest struggle of history against the most desper ate and unscrupulous combination of enemies ever met by the soldiers of peace-loving nations. It was just as much our duty to aid brave little Greece as brave big France. Both were prosperous and rich, and in normal times able to meet their civic obligations. There was one difference: France had had many years of peace in which to develop her resources, while Greece had been almost constantly at war since 1912, and in addition had been torn asunder by internal dissension and revolution, result ing from the disagreements of a pro-german king and a pro-ally people. This struggle between the Venizelists and the Royalists was as much a part of the whole struggle of'the Allies with Germany as the battle of the Marne.
