Defends Policies Of Sixteen Notions
WASHINGTON, Fri. (11.30 a.m.) Defence of 16 western European nations against Congressional accusations of inefficiency and bungling in the handling of their own recovery plans, was made today by Mr Lewis Douglas, United States Ambassador to Britain, who has been mentioned as the probable administrator of the European Aid Plan. He told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: “It is easy for us to view policies and what appear to be the vacillations and timidity of some of these countries with distant criticism, but I venture to say that if we had the same troubles we would do little better than they have done.” He repeated the warning _Mr Marshall gave this week that rejection or reducton of the aid programme would bring dictatorship throughout Europe and compel the United States to become an "armed camp.”
