Marshall Plan Reaches Halfway
THE HALFWAY MARK OF THE FOUR-YEAR EUROPEAN RECOVERY PROGRAMME, known as the Marshall Plan in honour of its originator, General George C. Marshall, was observed in ceremonies in Washington on April 3. General Marshall, who first proposed the programme in June, 1947, when he was Secretary of State, was the principal speaker. Addressing an audience of 1200 persons, General Marshall cited European recovery progress as a “near miracle” and asserted that “we must cary this battle to the finish.” The photogaph shows General Marshall (right) being presented with an anniversary album titled “The Marshall Plan at the Mid-Mark,” by Secretary of State, Mr Dean Acheson (left) and Mr Paul Hoffman (Economic Co-operation Administrator) during the ceremonies.
