COOPERATION IN EUROPE Expected To Last After Marshall Plan:
Passport Office Scandal
U.S. Ambassador Gives Views
Washington, Jan. 12.
If the Marshall plan succeeds, the cooperation among the 16 countries taking part in the European recovery plan may be expected to continue afterwards, Mr. Lewis Douglas, Unit- ed. States Ambassador to Britain, told the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate to- day.
LONDON, JAN. 12. DETECTIVES FROM SCOT. LAND YARD WERE TODAY FOLLOWING UP CLUES WHICH WERE EXPECTED Mr. TO LEAD TO DISCLOSURE OF A LARGE-SCALE PLOT TO SMUGGLE ALIENS INTO CANADA.
The Foreign Office has refus- ed to comment on the reports that two officials of the Pass- port Office had been suspended| during the investigation.
Douglas, who was giving evidence for the third day in succession, was closely question- ed by Senator Henry Cabot (Republican of Massachusetts) on the possibility that after 1952, when the plan ends, the 16 countries would return to their old conception of na- tionalism and that this might lead to the pOS- sibility of yet another European war, "If America cun help bring about the hoped-far measure of

In fact, United States exports in 1040 were expected to decline, by 8000.000,000 to an annual total of $18,000,000,000.
It was hoped that imports would Increase. by $300,000,000 to a total of $8,300,000,000.
