This Changing World
Marshall Plan Now Appears From Here
To Be Just What Europe Needed

rope concerns principally the stimu-
lation Of trade between the Mar
shall Plan countries themselves and
this, in turn, concerns the estab-
lishment of freedom Of monetary
exchange which has not yet been
achieved.
The currency problems left in the
wake of World War II in Europe
are gargantuan in scope simply as
domestic problems. When the at
tempt is made to reconcile these
currencies. making them inter-
changeable on the widest possible
scale as a basis for multilateral
trade, the problem grows almost
in geometric proportion to the num-
Der of countries involved. Some
surpluses appear to be piling up in
those countries which specialize in
their production, but their avail
ability for use in the rest of Europe
is severely hampered by the in
ability OF potential buyers to finance
their purchase.
AS far as trade with Eastern and
Southern Europe is concerned, some
Polish coal and timber will be avail
able while Czechoslovakia will be
able to provide some industrial pro-
ducts, in spite of the absolute Com
munist control now fastened on the
country.
Yhgoslavia Ready to Trade.
But more important than either
of these is the growing likelihood
that as the result OF Marshal Tito's
ex communication by the COMM
form Yugoslavia will be more ready
and willing to trade with Western
Europe. Yugoslavia could provide
not only agricultural products, Of
which she Is capable of producing
considerable surplus II collectivism
is not forced on the country, but
also certain industrial minerals.
The best recent indication that
Tito might be willing to 60 along
with the Marshall Plan is the state
ment he made to former Gov. Cul-
bert L. Olson of California, that
Yugoslavia would welcome a trade
agreement so long as it carried no
political connections. II Tito is will
ing to trade with the United States
the products so purchased could
be thrown into Europe's recovery.
1t is entirely possible that direct
trade can be revived between Yugo-
slavia and the countries of western
Europe.
But that is just one facet of this
global program for economic re-
covery. Over it all stands the
wstchful eye of the American ad-
minstrator of the ECA, Mr.. Hoff-
man, and he is doing his best to
impress on the beneficiary countries
the sense of urgency which is neces-
sary for them to get their. economies
going by 1852, when the United
States pulls out.
The Marshall Plan is costing the
American taxpayer lot of money,
and it is pretty difficult sometimes
to understand some of the curious
effects it produces. But on the
whole 1t looks from here to be just
what Europe needed. IT It's promises
are fulfilled, the American people
will have ample reason to be very
happy.

selves.
Considerable improvement has
occurred in Europe's economy since
the Marshall Plan was first ex-
pounded, and much OF the credit
goes. to the confidence in the future
engendered by the United States
farsighted policy OF putting lts
shoulder to Europe's wheel IN a
time of dire distress.
Whether the Marshall Plan was
entirely responsible Is immaterial
but since the Marshall Plan was
born the tide of Communist expan-
sion in Europe has been pretty
definitely contained, and the Soviet
has been forced to seek new sue
cesses by Tightening its hold on
countries which already were clearly
within its sphere of influence.
Still Long Way to Go.
European recovery still has a long
way to go before 1852 when, Mr..
Hoffman has warned Europe, the
United States intends definitely to
step out and put the continent on
its own resources. When the United
States called for a blueprint OF the
ERP countries needs and abilities to
help themselves these countries
representatives met in Paris and
provided an elaborate balance sheet
for our guidance.
Their first requests were pared
down, not sharply but drastically
in the belief that more of the SUBJ
stance of recovery must come from
their own efforts and their own
resources. Particularly, it was be-
/ lieved, must there be healthy re-
vival of trade between Western
! Europe and the countries behind
the Iron Curtain.
/ 1t is pretty clear that European
production has been stimulated, the
sDral of imitation has been retarded
if not completely checked and ths
Communist influence has been rele'
gated to minorities unrepresentec
in the established governments
This is not to say that the Com
munists have lost their Importance
by any means. But it is to say tina
they do not carry on their work O.

position of cabinet posts.

voiced misgivings.
Candidates Divided.
Few are willing to predict what
will actually happen. The Senate
policy-makers who met Immediately
following the Presidents address
invited Senators standing for re-
election to attend, figuring this
group had been home and would
have the latest word from the grass
roots.
But the candidates divided like
the rest of the Senate. Some wanted
L to adjourn Immediately, others
urged action on civil rights, prices
and housing, the rest advocated
staying in session but going slow
on legislation. Several frankly said
the public didn't seem to know the
answers any better than Congress
did.
No Official adtice from the candi-
date Governor Dewey, was re-
ported to the Senate group. though
several Senators said he~had indi-
Gated to them that they ought tc
move slowly for the present.
Yesterdays angry conformation
of the President and his worst
Congress was more like a bullfight
than Joint session.
The President waved his red flag
OF hated recommendations and Con-
gress paved the ground. Only force
of tradition and respect for the
Presidency kept them from charg-
