BY the Asseeiotsd Prsss
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-William
L. Clayton, former Undersecretary
Of State, today urged that the ma
tions aided by the Marshall plan
commit themselves to restore pro-
duction to, and in some cases above
prewar levels, with stated annual
goals; make money sound again;
lower trade barriers"
Mr.. Clayton told . luncheon Of
the Committee for the Marshall
Plan to aid European recovery that
Western Europe could recover under
the program, but added: I'VE will
hold in our hands at all times, the
powerful sanction Of discontinuance
of aid If, contrary to our expecta-
ton, any country fails to live up
to its agreement"
The former undersecretary said
Western European nations should
execute "a multilateral agreement"
among themselves on sound money,
production and trade as well as q
bilateral agreement with the United
States on the same subjects.
This bilateral agreement should
clearly set forth all the conditions
under which aid is given, relating
principally to production, sound
money and lowering Of trade bar
riers," he said.
Describing the Communists as
"waging a desperate battle to pre-
vent" adoption Of success Of the
plan, Mr.. Clayton said that without
aid from the United States "the
iron curtain would move westward
at least to the English Channel"
The people of Western Europe, he
said, "hate communism, but If they
must resist 1t under conditions of
economic Illustration, cold and
hunger, they will lose the fight"
