ECA Expects Pledges To Be Fulfilled
Paris, July 25-Economic Co-operation (ECA) Adminis trator, Mr Paul Hoffman today. bluntly told Europeans that the American people expected then to carry out a programmo of rent co-ordination for their combined economic recovery.
In his flest formal statement to the Foreign and Economic Ministers of nations participating in the European Recovery Programme, Mr Holman sald fally that the United States is taking Europe at its word in pledges to pool resources for mutual recon- struction.
"Each participating nation", sold Mr. Hoffman, must face up to read- justments to satisfy the requirements of a new world.
There readjustments cannot be made in the course of national action along the old separatist Uncs.
They can only be accomplished if each nation seeks its new goal in terms of the economie capacity and the economic strength of Europe, as a whole.
Mr Hoffman made his statement to a closed meeting of the General Council of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation. Spokcamen for the OFEC reported the session to correspondents following. the meeting-Associated Press.
