Perth Greeks Fear Athens Shifting Sway Amid War News
In Perth on Tuesday, Greeks of the Venizelist faction grew nervous as reports in the Daily News suggested Athens tilted against the Allies and blood had been shed. A large soldier crowd appeared, prompting strong guards and closing of several Greek fish shops. Local figures including Lieut Freddy Frost and Premier Wilson’s travel plans drew attention as wheat prices and naval events loomed, with analysts predicting 4s 6d to 58s 6d per bushel if the war prolongs. The piece mixes wartime sentiment, economic worry, and local commentary on politics and taxation.
