So far, American economic aid to
other nations has been on piece
meal basis" without any guiding
overall program. Secretary OF
State Marshall is changing this. He
emphasized in a speech at Harvard
University last week that future
American assistance should provide
a cure rather than mere pall1a-
tive" for economic deterioration
abroad.
Survey Summarized.
Gen. Marshall invited European
countries to get together and work
out a joint program of what is re-
uuired to put them on their feet
economically, promising United
States support so far as 1t may be
practical" 1t is clear future needs
will involve many more billions OF
dollars. Gen. Marshall has a new
policy planning staff developing
estimates of what more the United
States may be able to do
In the meantime, the State De-
partment's Division of Historical
Policy Research recently completed
a country -by-country survey of the
economic and technical aid supplied
or authorized for other countries
since mid-1945. 1t did not attempt
any definite overall tabulation, be-
cause of such hard to-fgure items
as the value of fixed war installa-
tons turned over to other nations
and the American share of UNRRA
supplies in some cases.
