ECONOMIC AID TO EUROPE
CONGRESS AND THE MARSHALL PLAN
ACTION BEFORE JANUARY UNLIKELY (Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.)
(Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON. July 28. “Congress is now on the point of adjourning until next January, and does not expect to take any action on the Marshall proposals until then,” says the Washington correspondent of the “Financial Times.”
“The President, of course, has the right to summon Congress for a special session, but ‘short of a foreign economic crisis,’ this is not expected to be necessary.
“It is not expected in Washington that the results of the Paris discussions and of departmental studies by the Americans of the plan and the European reactions will be reduced to specific proposals until October. The Foreign Affairs Committees of both the House and. the Senate will then re-examine the proposals and prepare specific recommendations for Congress when it meets in January. “There is also a strong feeling that the special meeting of the United Nations Assembly on Palestine in September and the next meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in London in November should be concluded before any new proposals for economic aid to Europe are placed before Congress.”
