GREECE
1953
SUSTAINED
progress toward the international enactment of calendar reform
was reported at the Seventh Annual Meeting 15 January
1954 of The World Calendar
Association, International, held in the International Building,
New York City. Published highlights (JCR Vol. 24, April
1954) for GREECE:
Since
1937, Greece has been included among the governments which
actively support calendar reform at al international meetings.
The official position remains exactly as it was expressed
in its communication to the League of Nations in August 1937:
"The Greek government is in principle favorable to calendar
reform." Coupled with this long-standing support is the
declaration of the Greek Orthodox Church, dating back to 1931,
when the Oecumenical Patriarchate declared itself in agreement
with The World Calendar plan, a position which has been repeatedly
re-stated since that time.
