|3-Point Plan Urged
by Marshall 10 Win
Cold War With Reds
BY The Asseeiafsd Press

PORTLAND. Greg. May 20
Secretary Of State Marshall laid
before the country today his for
Tmula for winning the cold war with
Russia.
It calls for:
/. A continued f1rm policy toward
Russia.
2. A consistent United States for
Ieign policy to convince European
countries they can rely on it.
3. Wariness Of deliberate, Gym
ical propaganda" issued by the Rus
slams to play on the Western de-
mocraeies' hope for some agree
ment to wipe out the fear of war."
Warns Of "Trustful Actions"
Gen. Marshall told the closing
session of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs convention last
night that the desire for peace
could lead to "ill-advised and trust
full actions which hazard the future
of this country"
Il feel certain" he said, that the
continuation of the firm course we
have been following will lead to the
solution of the worst of our dificul-
ties and will eventually clear the
way to a sound basis for peace.
Il am absolutely certain that only
such a firm and determined course
can save the situation for the de-
mccracies," he added.
The Secretary asserted that the
discussion in this country over how
to treat Russia was "a discussion
which largely ignores the fact that
we are faced with deliberate, Gym
ical propaganda campaign to offset
a sincere effort on our part to es-
tablish a basis for profitable nego-
tiations and agreements leading to
a stabilization OF the world
situation"
The clubwomen, ending a week Of
discussion on the problems OF peace,
also heard DR.. Ting Fu-tsing,
Chinese representative to the United
Nations Security Council, and Eric
johnson. president of the Motion
Picture Association of America.
The Chinese U. N. representative
told the women the best chance for
peace lay in advocates of Commu-
nism and free enterprise learning
Ito acquire respect for the sovereign
equality of ideologies."
Mr.. Johnston urged United States
military guarantees to Western Eu-
ropean countries in case of "aggres-
sion from any source. = There
is ample reason to believe that had
America made such a commitment
before the two World Wars, they
might have been stopped before
they happened"
