LONDON, Feb. ga Foreign
Office spokesman said today it is
quite wrong to assume that Brit
ain no longer needs Marshal
Plan aid.
The Foreign Office got its views
on record at a news conference
after the Foreign Relations Com
mittee of the United States Sen
ate decided to review Britain's alo
needs.
The committees action followed
a statement by Christopher May
hew, 33-year-old British Foreign
Undersecretary, that the Labor
government had long passed
the stage of talking recovery and
was busy with social experiments
Mr.. MayheWs remark was made
this week before the United Ma
tions Social and Economic Coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Mayhem did not mean to
imply that Britain can get along
without the European Recovery
Program, the Foreign Office
Spokesman said. He added:
The idea of ERP is that within
a definite time limit European
countries getting American assist
ance should establish themselves
so that further aid is unnecessary
In Britain this vital American
assistance is assisting progress to-
ward the goal. ERP is accom-
plishing here what it set out to
do, but any impression that Brit
ain no longer needs help would be
q mistake "
