our military establishments, an

of Western Eurona must tako in

tlement and economic problems
which were firmly founded on
agreement between the great
powers. Tne united Nations,
would, it was planned, go forward
from this start on the basis of
principle and organizatoln which
would bring to the settlement of
international questions the con
science of mankind and the jus
tice of laws and procedures which
dealt equally with the strong and
the weak.
Since that period of high hopes
and particularly in the past year,
there has been a worsening of
conditions, politically and eco
nomically, in western Europe. To
day we face a crisis and a choice
whether to let conditions there
degenerate into chaos or to take
bold steps to help restore the bal
ance in favor of democracy. We
propose to do this in cooperation
with Europe and within the spirit
of the United Nations.
We now have a plan, the Euro
pean Recovery Program, to en
able sixteen nations of Western
Europe again to become self-supporting.
The basis of this program
is not relief but full long-range
recovery.
This program recommends that,
for fifteen months, April 1, 1948,
to June 80, 1949, the United States
government provide $6.8 billion
for recovery among the sixteen
ing of weiners and marsh mallows

President Truman has asked that
this Program be approved by
April 1. Every week the European
Recovery Program is delayed
means a further cut in Europe's
