A LETTER From amerICA
Truman Baffles Them All
USSIA'S ́ agreement to support the - United States position on the partition of Pales- Line is an immense relief to Americans; not be- cause they care much about Palestine, but be- cause, Russia has agreed to something.
It checks the spread of the idea that Russia is determined to provoke war.
It suggests there may be something other than sheer contumacy behind the Russian oppo- sition to the Marshall Plan.
Apparently it is true that blundering officials have contrived to give the plan, as Europeans hear it described, certain overtones of coercion that never wore in the minds of the American people.
The Marshall Plan, as the average American understands it, has two objectives, first to pre- vent starvation during winter, and second to bolster the economic recovery of Western Europe to the end that it may be brought back into the › market as a customer for American goods,
There is nothing altruistic in it from the. American standpoint except as a wise business policy is always liberal towards a valuable but temporarily embarrassed customer.
Unfortunately, Truman has an extraordinary.. talent for making himself misunderstood, even by his own countrymen, and apparently he has creat- ed a fantastic misconception of the Marshall Plan even in Great Britain.
