PURCHASES FOR AID PLAN To Be Made By U.S. In Eastern Europe
American Loans Repayment
Washington, May 18.
Mr. Paul G. Hoffman, ERP Administrator, said to- day at a press conference that he planned' "very definitely” to maka purchases in Eastern Europe for the European recovery programme. Mr. Hoffman said the purchases would probably be confined to goods in short supply in the United States, such as coal, wheat and timber. Mr.. Hoffman said it was hoped very shortly to ex- tend to Latin America the Economic Coopera- tion Administration's purchases in the Western Hemisphere which have, so far, been confined to Canada.
