British Economist
II alks at Luncheon
IOf Press Women

A partnership in production bea
tween Western Europe and the
United States was called the best
way to realize the Marshall plan in
an address yesterday by Barbara
Ward, youthful British economist.
/ Miss Ward, who at 80 is governor
of the British Broadcasting Corp.
and foreign affairs editor of the Lon
don Economist, spoke before the
Women's National Press Club at a
luncheon at the Mayflower Hotel.
The speaker claimed that Western
Europe has the necessary productive
resources, but that its vitality and
courage must be restored. On the
other hand, she pointed out, the
United States offers a picture of
tremendous vitality, energy and pro,
ductive force.
Here you have triumph Of pro-
duction, not crisis Of production"
she declared. What we lack, you
have in abundance; I mean. in the
sphere of know-how and capacity
to get things done"
She warned. that Western Europe
doesn't like being considered po-
tential battlefield in a United States
Soviet war. For that reason, she
contended, the full potentialities of
the Marshall plan will not be realized
| if it is primarily concerned with
checking communism.
IF however. the United States
and Europe felt they were going to
accomplish something. with ideas
flowing from America to Europe, we
would have the concept of a new
horizon and something for which
these people could look in confidence
and hope" she declared.
Special guests introduced by Ruth
Cowan the club president, included
DR.. Edwin G. Nourse, chairman of
the Council of Economic Advisers to
the President, and DR.. Leon Key
serling, vice chairman.
Among other guests were Mrs.
J. l.. Blair Buck, president OF the
General Federation of Womens
Clubs; the counselor of the British
Embassy and Mrs. w. P. N. Edwards;
DR.. Winfield Reifler, chief economist
with the Herter Committee; Helen
Hill Miller, Washington correspond
ent of the London Economist, and
