ECA Gets Tougher With Free Riders
Target Dote in 1852
Still Means End
Of Present Deal

policy on the part of ECA is some
thing capricious nor that a ma
jority of ECA countries are drag
ging their heels" BY the terminal
date in 1852 the Marshall Plan
will have had four years of OPP
Grafton and circumstances respon-
sible for its conception and for
whatever continuation may be
needed have changed greatly.
To the immediate postwar prob
lens of recovery and the dollar
gap have been added new and
great ones of rearmament, infla-
tlonary forces, maintenance or
further raising of consumption
levels, of export production and of
continuing encouragement of CAPT.
tai investment. Many of the
countries involved will be facing
distressing problems of resources
in terms of raw materials, of labor,
of productive capacity and the
accompanying strains of attempt
ing to have guns and butter at
the same time. 1t is against
this change in the overall picture
that Ambassador Katz feels there
should be a fresh evaluation and
legislative definition of American
policy.
The Ambassadors present eval-
uation of the priority jobs facing
ECA and American policy is as
follows:
/. To re-establish the military
strength of Western Europe. itself
a part of the broader task of re-
establishing Western Europe as a
political force.
2. To re-establish Germany, or
at least Western Germany, as a
dependabel member of the West
ern community of nations.
3. To hold or gain control of
the labor sector of the Western
European nations. Communism is
still the dominant force of French
and italian labor and a dangerous
potential in Germany. Labor
control in the hands of the
enemy" is an obviously danger
Gus situation.
Imperative Point
4. To keep before Europe a vi
sion of a future which does not
automatically accept the inevi-
liability of war. There must be an
assured feeling in these countries
which have learned much more
than we of the destruction and
literal horrors of war that we are
jointly engaged in an effort to
prevent war, not merely to pre-
pare for another one.
To Ambassador Katz the fourth
point is a basic must" Since
June. 1948, he believes there has
been progress toward it's fulfill
ment, interrupted irregularly and
disturbed most seriously perhaps
with the outbreak of Korean hos
tilities. He believes, however,
that the promptness of American
decision at that time carried
great assurance to Western Eu-
rope, that our national behavior
has had great moral and psyche
logical value in Western Europe
and that the eventual turn in the
tide in Korea was as comforting
here as at home.

Greece and ItoIy
Told to Clean Up
Economic Disorder
BY John c, Henry

The transition of American eco
nomic aid to Europe from purely
recovery program as conceived and
applied in the Marshall Plan to a
combination emphasis on defense
and continuing recovery calls for
a new legislative definition of the
entire effort.
| AS such, ECA is scheduled to
terminate by June 30. 1852, or
sooner. American administrators
of the program in Europe, notable
among them Ambassador Milton
KATE. are holding firmly and pub
licly to this target date and are
being tougher rather than easier
on the beneficiary nations and
their utilization of ECA funds. In
recent weeks, both Greece and
Italy have been given some plain
talk about setting their economic
houses in better order and cur
failing has been announced for
disbursement of funds in Greece.
In a recent interview in Paris,
Mr.. Katz, who succeeded w.
Averell Hartman as United States
special representative in Europe,
was most precise in expressing his
own opinion that any continuance
of economic aid should be ex-
tended under a newly constructed
program, freshly conceived in the
light OF circumstances prevailing
as the ECA terminal date ap-
proaches. A clean break with the
Marshall Plan. he indicated, would
be more fair to the American
public and more clearly under
stood and appreciated by the
European participants.
Not Disappointed
BY implications at least he sug-
geSts that any such new program
should contain a quid pro quo
understanding, perhaps on both
military and economic grounds.
In any case, he said specifically
that he believes absence of such
understanding could be blamed
for much of our trouble in Asia
and that such understanding
should be clear in any rapproche-
ment with Spain.
Mr.. Katz limited at least at his
own support for new economic
aid by remarking that it would
seem logical to back up military
expenditures of many billions
with a modest amount of non
military support. Former ECA
Administrator Paul Hoffman, just
returned from a swing around
Europe, expressed a similar view
here during the past week.
Ambassador Katz's point of view
does not by any means reflect a
disappointment in the results of
the Marshall Plan or a dissatis-
faction with the attitude of Euro
pean countries toward the opera
ton of the plan. On the contrary,
he feels most vigorously that we
have been winning the cold war
in Europe even while we have
been suffering losses in Asia. His
attitude is consistent, however,
with the determination of the
present administrators of ECA
that increased attention to re-
armament OF the free world, par
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1950-10-29

ticularly Western Europe, should
not provide an easy excuse for
sloughing off the recovery effort
and a free ride" on an indefi-
nitely continuing ECA ticket.
In dollars this philosophy may
not make a great difference in the
ultimate cost of the international
effort in which we are now en-
gagged. In psychology, in efficiency
with relation to what we are at
tempting to accomplish, in integ-
rity of intent and in discipline of
relationships, it may mean a great
deal.
A case in point is the recent
Juror over curtailment of aid to
Greece. Announcement by ECA
Administrator Paul r. Porter in
Athens that next years ECA con-
tribution to Greece would be cur
tailed because of certain dissatis-
factions over Greek utilization of
the program raised storm of dis
believing protest in the Greek
capital. The Athens press, with
passive if not active encourage
ment of the government, portrayed
the decision as arbitrary, irrespon-
sible and unjustified. Like man
whistling at night in a cemetery
they assured themselves that it
was a one man decision made in
pique and sure to collapse. Am
bassador John Peurifoy assured
them otherwise but they still
hoped to prevail on former ECA
Administrator Paul Hoffman for a
counterruling.
In so many words one Greek
official told me during the war of
words that, in the light of new
armament plans and Greece's new
status as member of the joint
defense program, he was conf
dent all would be well. Meanwhile,
the Greek government promised
to meet all the conditions laid
down by Mr.. Porter for more eff
fective use of their curtailed funds.
Then Mr.. Hoffman came to Athens
and backed up both of his col
leagues. 1t was a hard blow but
one that seems fully justified.
A reversal would be extremely
damaging to the prestige and con-
troll powers of American ECA Of
ficials in Athens and there seems
no chance whatever that fur
Their appeal by Prime Minister
Venizelos to Washington will re-
suit in such reversal.
Citing the Greek case is not
meant to imply that a get tough

somebody was careless enough
or sufficiently scared-to leave
these documents intact.
The end of the Korean war was
expected to take place sometime
before October Is, when we were
supposed to be thrown into the
sea at Pusan. This operation was
to be followed by others in the
following order:
A large-scale rebellion in the
Philippines, with the Communist
Hukbalahaps taking over the gov
eminent. This was to be a short
operation, lasting less than a
month.
Meanwhile. the preliminary Of

for a major assault on the French

South China were ready for

Campaign in Full Swing
Following these two main oper-
atoms, which would have placed
the U. S. S. R. in control of the
South Pacific, Burma and Tibet
were to be taken over. In the
master plan it was noted that
these were not to be con-
sidered serious military OBJ
jectives. The stage for the in
corporation of the two last-named
countries into the Soviet system
had been worked out for some
time. Neither has an effective
military establishment to oppose
the coups which had been planned
on the basis of using native
sympathizers.
The stamina Of the American
and Allied forces and the strategic
genius of Gen. Macarthur have
upset the apple cart. temporarily,
at least. The crushing defeat of
the North Koreans, who less than
two months ago seemed to have
victory in the palm of their hand,
caused the Russians to revise their
plans. Only the war in Indo-
China is proceeding according to
schedule. because there the Krem-
lin has found a soft spot, possibly
softer spot than they had in
Korea when the aggression was
launched June Is.

declared:
ITO maintain the peace, the

facts about any threat of aggres-
sion.
Next, it must be able to call
quickly upon the member nations
if the threat becomes serious.
above all, the peace loving
nations must have. the military
strength available, when calico
upon, to act decisively TO put
down aggression"
The U. N. cannot now be sure
it will be able to do any of these
things in the event of aggression

adviser in the State Department
and a delegate to the U. N. Gen.
eral Assembly. recently pointed
out. U. N. action on the Korean
crisis has been magnificent" Mr.
Dulles said, but it was possible
only because of "a series of &C
cidents."
If the Soviet representative
had not been taking a walk as
far as the Security Council wa.
concerned. he would have been
there to veto it," Mr.. Dulles de-
clared. Then there would have
been no action.
If there hadn't been a commits
sion in Korea which was sent out
there three years ago for another
purpose, there would have beer
nobody to make a report on which
they could act as to who was the
aggressor.
And in the third place, if the
United States hadn't happened to
have had some troops nearby ir
Japan who were policing the Jap

been no troops to go there quickly -

these in future cases of aggression.
The American plan is designed to
make the organization independ-
ent Of such accidents, and to en-
able it to deal more effectively
with aggression in future than it is
able to do as now constituted.
The plan is now before the
full General Assembly. Best judg-
ment here is that the American
proposals will be adopted by a
substantial majority vote over
Communist opposition.
This, then. is the principal les
son which the Korean crisis ha.
taught. and these are the prin-
cipal methods by which the fret
world is trying to apply thai

The lesson is that the fret
