Effects.
The State Department issued a
new warning on May 14 of a possi
ble Eussian attack on Western Eu
rope despite a relaxation of “cold
war” tension after the lifting of the
Berlin blockade.
The department stated that a new
power balance must be created in
Europe because the present M’estern
defenses are weak enough to “invite
military aggressions.” The warning
came as the first complete official
statement of plans for rearming
western Europe under the provisions
of the Atlantic Pact; it climaxed a
State Department series of papers
ropean recovery and other major
developments in foreign policy. It
also outlined a six-point military aid
plan for western European and other
non-Comniunist nations as recom
mended by I’resident Truman.
The department declared that the
peoples of western Europe have been
greatly reassured by the xVtlantic
Pact, but that they are still worried
about the dangers of invasion; the
United States must assist the coun
tries to develop the power needed to
resist this threat.
