and to be returned ultimately to the
Treasury of the United States in such
small payments and over such term
OF years that the business OF the coun-
try shall not be deranged.
The plan calls for: First-An act OF
lofty generosity by the United States to
raise Its prestige high among the nations.
Second-The utilization OF this prestige
to secure conference OF nations to
formulate methods of restoring Europe's
well being. Third-The cooperation Of
the United States with the other nations
in the safeguarding Of the common well
fare
Mr.. Alley in presenting 1t said
'iIt is true that this plan involves
sacrifices on the part Of the United
States.
'"rhe world has, or had, in embryonic
form, the habit of subordinating national
violence to the common welfare as de-
fined by the constituted authorities.
Embryonic though the habit is it has,
by means of conference or arbitration,
prevented many wars and 1t gave us a
period OF almost fifty years during
which there was no war between first
rate European Powers.
THE preservation and development OF
this habit Is the object of the course TO
which your committee would pledge the
United States, and so incalculable is the
value of this habit to- the United States
and the world that we do not hesitate to
declare the strengthening Of 1t to be an
adequate return for such sacrifices as
our plan may ask OF the United States.
FINALLY, the committees plan will
free the United States from that innocu-
Gus formula to which it is at present
committed by Congress. ! view vtth no
