Marshall plan, to which 16 countries
finally subscribed
Gen. Marshall said that at the
start of negotiations there were Is,
including Czechoslovakia and Po-
land. He said the Czechs accepted
the plan, but later had to with
draw" Poland indicated it would
take part, but never submitted de-
tailed plans, he added.
HAS the Soviet Union categor-
ically declared cold war on the
plan?" Senator Vandenberg asked.
Gen. Marshall said it has done so,
in effect. The public statements Of
responsible officials of the Soviet,
he said, have indicated "antagonism
and hostility" to the program.
Despite Gen. Marshall's vigorous
pleading, however, all signs point to
long battle, accompanied by strong
efforts to hold down the first in
stallment and to divorce the aid
program from the State Depart
ment.
During the next 10 days the Sec
retary will be followed to the stand
by dozen other Government off,
cials to unfold details Of the plan
which has for its goal the checking
of communism and the insuring of
peace. Lewis w. Douglas, Ambas-
sador to Great Britain was sched-
uled to follow Gen. Marshall.
Seeks April 1 Deadline.
Gen. Marshall stressed the i'm
portance Of getting the plan which
bears his name through by April J.,
when the stopgap aid program runs
out, but even the ardent hackers Of
administration foreign policy at the
Capitol have little hope Of such
early accomplishment
Gen. Marshall minced no words
as he told the Senators this project
would be difficult enough to carry
out in a normal international clim-
ate, but must be carried to success
against the avowed determination
of the Soviet Union and the Com
munist Party to oppose and sabo-
tage it at every turn"
He also conceded frankly that this
unprecedented endeavor of the new
world to help the old is neither sure
nor easy"
1T is calculated risk" he went
on, "but there can be no doubts
as to the alternatives. The way of
life that we have known is literally
in balance.

sour country is now faced with a
momentous decision If we decide
that the United States is unable or
unwilling effectively to assist in the

Secretary Marshall called atten-
ton to the administrations recent
decision to drop the overall cost
estimate of $17,O00,000,000 in the
four-year enabling bill, in recogni-
ton Of the fact that even If it were
included, this Congress could not
bind its successors to that amount.
The Secretary said total estimated
cost is now placed at between $l5,-
100 900, 600 and $17,800, 0,000,0 900, but
agreed that it is not capable OF pre-
