Honorary citizenship has been conferred by the Athens City Council on Henry Morgenthau, former United States Ambassador to Turkey. In further recognition of Mr. Morgenthau’s efforts in behalf of Greek Refugees, the city Council has changed the name of a prominent Athens Street to America Street.
Mr. Morgenthau a few days ago announced a contribution of $5,000 for relief work among the Greek refugees with the understanding that wealthy Greeks raise nine times as much. A committee to raise the stipulated amount was appointed at once.
