ADDITIONAL FINANCE
EUROPEAN RECOVERY APPEAL BY TRUMAN WASHINGTON, March 11 President Truman today asked Congress for an additional 55,000,000 dollars to help tide Western Europe over until the European recovery programme is enacted. Congress voted 540,000.000 dollars as a temporary aid last autumn, including 18,000,000 dollars for China. It was expected then that this money would last until tho Marshall Plan was passed, but in a letter to the House of Representatives Mr. Truman said: — “Events which have taken place in Europe in recent weeks do not permit us with safety or prudence to risk a break in the supply flow at this moment. I therefore, hope that Congress will find it possible to make available the needed funds before April 1.”
