FOBSTBK Profaseor ot agricultural economics, -State College Although the MfijtelT Plan is de signed to am WtMh*?- Europe, it will in fact save American agricul ture from a postwar collapse. Under the Marshall Flan, American dollars will preside the parchaainr pow with which Europe can buy*American iarm products. This is of special in terest to the South where die two ehief crops, cotton and tobacco, are en an export basis. There would be no need of a Mar thai) Plan if all of our 2am and fac tory products wen consumed or wed in our own markets. In each a ease we would need a plan, but it would be called aa American Plan. But,*ince other countries depend up on the United States both for manu factured goods and for some of our agricultural products, the Marshall Plan is necessary and would have bees necessary even if there had bees no war. World War II simply; made the plea aeon urgent. Now this kind of reasoning may be confusing to many people. K is dif ficult to make clear why we, as 'a nation, should provide sqck large sums of American doilan fer west ern Europe ooantries. The reason most often given is that this money is to defeat pommunism or to pro "tect these foreign countries from Communism. The economic reason is much harder'to state. - , Over the years die United States, because of its, material resources, skills and sciences, has built up a vast (jomnstir and fpmign trade. People, both at house and abroad, have come to dspsad do much upon American Iwbltolf and agriedlture that they Ippa bean willing to fight for a faiy abase of its enormous out put.

This trade provides the means of using the world's sources to the best advantage. Many myths have sprung sg> about hoar international trade should be carried on. One of these myths (one of the greatest conceived by the hu man mind) is tariff. Tariff is a de vice by which one nation attempts to gat more ot the world's goods is entitled to. The Urdted States has of the leading exponents of this device. The United States has been saying to the rest of the world these many yean: Ton take our exports on a free basis, but wo will take your exports w a is strictad basis." The United States has erected and maintained one of the highest tariff walls in the his tory of the .world. Tariff has been the device by which the United States has made an "over-charge" en international i tor to buy our exports. In of. things this "over . distributed to of the United States.
