Hoffman Warns
West Europeto
ifyEcononny
Single Market Needed
To Achieve Recovery
Under ECA, He Says
BY the Associated Press

MONTREAL, Oct. 27.-Paul G..
Hoffman today called on Western
Europe to unity its economy If
it hopes to achieve recovery I'M
der the Marshall Plan.
The Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministrator declared the CONT
nent must create single market
of all countries west of the Soviet
Iron Curtain to reach financial
self-sufhciency.
In an address before the Cana
dian Chamber Of Commerce, the
American foreign aid director also
asserted that Europe this year
will earn $4,000, 900, 900 less than
it must spend to buy necessary
imports.
En- Route to Paris.
Mr.. Hoffman stopped here en-
route to Paris where next week he
will participate in top-level dis
cussions with officials of the 10
nations participating in the Mar
shall Plan.
Mr.. Hoffman said the progress
Of Marshall Plan countries toward
increasing industrial and agricul-
tural output is ahead of schedule.
But heavier output of commodities
Is not enough, he went on, to put
Western Europe on its economic
feet.
Europe must in its own in
terest achieve without undue de-
lay an economic unification which
will create single market of 275,-
100000 consumers for whom Eu-
ropean industry and agriculture
can produce economically and to
whom European manufacturers
and farmers can sell freely" the
ECA administrator stated.
Problem to Sell Goods.
The recovery director pointed
out that European productivity
has increased to a point where
the problem now is to sell rather
than turn out goods. He called on
Europe to lower or remove trade
barriers between nations and
asked that the United States and
Canada refrain from imposing re-
strictions which would retard
flow of imports to the Western
Hemisphere.
Mr.. Hoffman dwelt at length on
the role American foreign aid has
played in stemming the advance
of Communism in Europe.
II believe If we remain strong
and if Europe becomes strong. and
if we remain united, the evil plans
of the men of the Kremlin will
fail and. in time. they will fail
so utterly that Russia herself will
cease to be a slave state. Mr.. Hoff =
