This distinction between the "Marshall Proposal" and the E.R.P. has recently been noticed by the Harvard-Radcliffe Committee to Save the Marshall Plan. The Harvard Committee for Wallace supports, and has supported, the Marshall Proposal, but feels compelled to oppose the European Recovery Plan. The E.R.P., instead of carrying out the original suggestion, rather, effectively distorts it into an extension of the Truman Doctrine, (which has tended to confuse Fascism with Democracy.)

One of the "Save ERP" Committee's points "reconstruction not relief"--is still in decided danger from such influential Congressmen as Senators Taft and Ball, who want to slice the program drastically, for reasons of "economy." If this ill-advised scissoring succeeds in turning the recovery program into a parsimonious dole for Europe's needy...
