Most Critical Month Since Armistice
(Recd. 12.15 p.m.) . LONDON, March 14. British and other-Western Ministers agree that, with the opening of the Marshall Plan conference, Western Europe is entering its most critical month since the armistice, says The Times’ diplomatic correspondent. The month will end with the Italian elections in midApril. What happens within, that period will .decide whether Western security and reconstruction can be placed on firm foundations. The Communists, knowing that, will redouble their efforts to create confusion and make the Marshall Plan ineffective. The correspondent adds that a Communist majority, in the Italian elections would be one of Russia’s greatest gains since the war, but the latest reports indicate that a Communist success is unlikely.
