of a sensational and irrespon-
sible character all over the
record and the press without
giving those charged a fair
chance to reply.
What the committees have
so sensationally exposed in
the course of the years are red
plots that either did not exist,
or were manufactured out of
Daily Worker" news, dam
gers to our government that
arose largely out of the imagi-
nation, and c. m m u n m
where only genuine Ameri-
can liberalism was in f a ct
involved.
THE principal effect of the
committees probes has been
unwarranted discrediting of
genuine liberals w h o h v e
been earnestly and sincerely
seeking needed reforms, par
ticularly in the field of labor,
monopolies, and ra &c rela-
tions.
This has been accomplished
by smear methods. innuen-

aqandistic devices reminiscent
of fascist techniques.
Nothing in recent years has
been as un-American as the
conduct of the hearings of the
Congressional Committee on
un-Americanism.

Background

The Marshall Plan was first
set forth in a speech at Har-
ward University on June S.
1916. by Secretary of Stale
George c. Marshall.
On July 26. Congress voted
STA billion for Europe. the
bulk of which was tagged for
Greece and Turkey. Dividing
Europe into two camps, this
bill stipulated that Poland and
Hungary were not TO receive
any of the foreign aid" funds.
On Nov. IL. Truman asked
the special session of Congress
for $597 million "siop-gap aid"
under the plan. Congress ap-
proved on Dec. l. with A Re-
puhlicans and 80 Democrats
voting for-the funds in the Sem
ate.
On Dee. Is. Truman asked
Congress TO approve Marshalrs
four-Year European Recovery
Program" calling for $Is-$2o
billions. This request was re-
newed before the opening of
the new session in January.

when it was delivered. The
principles of self-help, mutual
aid and American support
were the same that l had sug-
gested on many occasions. The
differences now are clear.
They are fatal differences.
When the Marshall Plan
was announced, I declared
that the Truman Doctrine
would have to be strapped to
give it meaning. 1t has not
been scrapped. With the
Truman Doctrine as its core,
the so-called European Recov-
cry Program is plan to in
terfere in the social, economic
and political affairs of coun-
tries receiving aid.
We are saying, eve will
help you if you have our kind
of government and subordin-
ate your economy to ours"
WE HAVE invested $500
million in Greece and Turkey;
81 billion in China and $25
billion for our armed forces
to support a foreign policy
which leads to war, no peace.
We can afford to invest in Eu-
ropean reconstruction, blu t
our policy must not require
billions of dollars for arms,
and millions of men in arms
to back it up.
We can't stop communism
or any other idea in Western

My final decision was made
solely on the basis of giving
the American people a chance
to vote for peace and security.
] fear the die was cast when
Truman came out for military
aid TO Greece and Turkey last
March. Steadily during l947
our help TO foreign lands has
been in the spirit of fighting
Russia. not in the spirit of
helping starving humanity.
STEADILY the military,
the Wall Street press and the
State Department have been
waging psychological war
fare against the American
people to blind them to the
fact that our unilateral help
to Europe intervenes in the
internal politics of n arly
every Western European ma
ton, that the ordinary Euro
pean workers looks on it as
naked Imperialism = or even
worse, in the case of Greece
and that in the end the cold
war will end in bombs and
expeditionary forces across
Canada and the Scandinavian
peninsula.
There are no more tragic
victims of our insane policy,
which will bankrupt us NOR
ally and financially, than the
Greek people. Our first loan
has been spent.
Greek children still cry for
milk, while the American
trained Greek army parades

Europe with military might
or by supporting un-demo-
cratic governments. The BIZ
partisan coalition has allied
the American people with
kings. fascists and reactionar-
les.
The Russians certainly
aren't blameless for the cold
war. But even if we should
accept every charge made
against the Russians, it does
not excuse an American pol
icy which runs contrary to
American principles.
A PRACTICAL policy must
begin with genuine support for
the United Nations. We have
been ignoring the UN.
We circumvented the UN in
the name of emergency" to
send military help to Greece
and Turkey. We killed
UNRRA, which had Europe
on the road to recovery. We
ignored the UN in proposing
the Marshall Plan. We must
reaffirm our faith in the UN.
1t cannot succeed if the most
powerful nation in the world
destroys confidence in the
principle of world organiza-
ton and operates in direct
violation of that principle. We
can't talk the language of one
world and use our economic
and political power to split
that one world in two.
TODAY. when there is al
most unanimous agreement on
the necessity for helping Eu-
rope, is the time to get prac-
teal"
If we reject the Marshall
Plan as it is now proposed to
apply it, this does not mean
that we are without a plan.
We propose a plan based on
world unity and friendship
that will lay the foundation of
peace, not a plan based on
world division and conflict
that sows the seeds of war. We
propose a plan that will eff
fectuate the fine words spoken
by Secretary Marshall at Har-
ward last June = not a plan
whose deeds contradict those
words.
The experience of UNRRA
proved that such plan is en-
inently practical = that such
a plan will work. That expert
ence showed indeed that only
such a plan will work for
peace - not war. d..
