A Congressional commltteee
today will hear Secretary of
State Marshall explain “the
Marshall Plan" for helping na
tions that are willing to help
themselves.
The plan involves spending
billions and has a tw'o-fold
purpose. One is a strictly hu
mitarian purpose—keeping peo
ple from starving. The other
has a practical purpose—keep
ing communism from crowding
democracy out of the picture
in foreign lands.
Tire committee will prepare a
report to be submitted to Con
gress next Monday morning,
when a special session opens.
Whatever action is taken will
have round-the-world effect—
and that effect will live for
years to come.
Good Evening believes in
feeding the hungry and cloth
ing the naked. He also believes
in combating communism in
every practical way.
He believes the Marshall
Plan’” is a wise one and believes
Congress will forget, in part,
political party tfines and back
the plan.
But while considering the
Marshall Plan lets not let an
organized campaign make saps
out of us individually.
What does Good Evening
mean?
Well America has been flood
ed with pathetic letters from
Germany, Italy and even
France, in which “poor old
grandmothers" or “orphan
children" appeal for help—
help from the individual.
The letters are masterpieces.
One cannot read a one of them
and have dry eyes.
But investigations have led to
the discovery that fully 90 per
cent of those letters are “fakes."
The person who writes them
Is not a "poor grandmother" or
an "orphan.” The letters are
turned out wholesale by organ
ized groups, out to get every
thing they can get from a sym
pathetic American people.
Much of the clothing that has
been sent ln response to these
appeals finds its way into the
black market. Little. If any, of
it reaches people who are in
dire need.
If one wants to help the de
serving neople of Europe they
can contact such orgahiza
tions as ’’Care"—"The Coopera
tive for American Remittance to

For Slop-Gap Aid,
Secretary Declares
The Fight For Peace
WASHINGTON — (JPy— Secretary
of State Marshall asked Congress
'oday to provide $591,000,000 for em
ergency aid in Europe until .March
31.
He estimated an additional $7,-
500,000.000 will be needed in the 15
months starting then.
Eventually, Marshall told a joint
meeting of the Senate and House
foreign Committees, long range Eu
ropean recovery costs will range
Between $16,000,000,000 and $20 -
# 00 . 000 , 000 .
Putting Europe back in good
health, Marshall said, is the goal of
all the major allies except Russia.
Bluntly, he said, "the Soviet Union
does not for its own reasons share
this aim."
Declaring it to be of “cardinal
importance" that an able and ef
fective administration manage the
aid funds, Marshall said four prin
ciples should be followed:
1. The operation must accord
nd!v with American foMgn policy.
2. The organization must have
the widest practical flexibility.
3. Full use should be made of ex
isting govermental agencies in car
rvlng out parts of the program fall

ont activities. : T;
4. Unity of command is need
