MARSHALL PLAN RETARDED

The Marshall Plan not only fall ed to do more than nibble at this problem, it actually retarded badly needed reforms.
 Italy, for instance, will never be anywhere near self-supporting un- til the great landed estates of South Italy are broken up and re- clamation projects created to pro- tect the land from drought.
 But when the De Gasperi gov ernment approached this, Marshall Plan Administrator James Zeller- bach raised his hands in holy hor- TOT. The U. s. Congress. he said, wouldn't approve. Breaking up It. aly's big estates was socialism. The result might be, he warned, that Italys Marshall Plan money would be cut off.
 Mir. Zellerbach's family are effl- cient manufacturers of paper. But his ignorance about European re- construction only substantiates Count Sforza's prediction that the Marshall Plan would be only a chapter in Europe's struggle for a sound economy-a pleasant chapter, but a passing one

CAUSES OF CRISIS

An earlier column dealt with the causes of the British monetary co.- lapse-which also extends in vary ing degree to other West European countries. Briefly those causes are failure to s-oduce as much as Eu- rope eats, which is induced, in turn, by lack of labor efficiency outmcded machinery and the loss of Asiatic colonies.
 There is also another important factor-failure of the Marshall Plan to cope with Europe's basic problem of economic barriers.
 When this writer was in Europe with the Friendship Train, far sighted Italian Foreign Minister Count Carlo S1orza remarked.
 Our only salvation is United States of Europe We can never be economically supporting as long as we are cut up by national istic boundaries. Moreover, we will never abolish war until we banish nationalism.
 And we won't banish national ism by ourselves. We can only do it if you put the pressure on. You can do it through the Marshall Plan. You are the only people who can make us set up United States of Europe But you will have to be tough. Otherwise the Marshall Plan will be only a chapter - a pleasant chapter. but passing one"

Marshall Plan was working and 1t would be wise for the Kremlin to he conciliatory.
 Then two things happened:
 During the few brief weeks be- tween the preliminary talks in Ap- Til and May and the calling of the Paris conference in June, ap- Iea.ed the first cracks Of economic depression. British business began to slump. American unemployment rose.
 Immediately Russian policy snitt- ed At Paris, Vishinsky was polite hut obstinate. The Paris confer ence was a failure. In Berlin, the Blockade was only partly lifted. Thus 1t looked as if the Russians figured the big break they had been looking for-depression-had arrived. Also they probably figured the more sabre-rattling in Moscow the more money spent on arma- ment in Washington, with more re- sultant industrial activity and busi- ness prosperity Likewise the less military activity behind the Iron curtain, the more chance of econo- mic doldums outside the Iron Curtain.
 But whatever the Russians figur-
 
 none of us have to do any figuring to know also that what Moscow has wanted most is world wide de- pression-a which she could go around picking up the remaining pieces Of the capitalist system.

Plan is going to be a pleasant passing chapter-pleasant for Flu rope, but not for the American taxpayer
 Marshall Plan administrators have tried to get goods exchanged between European countries; and in a minor way they have succeed ed. But they have not been tough, They have broks.l down re zeal barriers
 One reason is that we rrr the cart before the horse. We put the Marshall Plan before the Atlantic Pact
 For instance, it is impossible to persuade France that she does not reed her own exclusive steel indus try, and that Belgium could better manufacture steel for her, as long as there is no political alliance in Western Europe guaranteeing steel to France in case of war.
 Now that Belgium and France are aligned under the North At lantic Factor better still in some future United States of Europe then the need of each little coun- try to have its own industrial steel industry is not so vital
 The same might be true Of Italy's Fiat automobiles. If European trade barriers and political boun- diaries were broken down, one or two auto factories could supply all Europe's needs Because of boun- diaries, the Fiat plant in Italy has only a skinny, impoverished mar ket; likewise the Renault auto plant in France, the Austin in England. and so on. Their mar kets, hemmed in by nationalist barriers. in the eyes of a Detroit manufacturer, aren't worth sneez- ing at.
 Yet each country is determined to keep up its motor production, partly because automobile plants can be turned into tank and air
 ane factories With the North Atlantic Pact, this is less necessary With United States of Europe,
