In Two Years' Time THE FUNNIEST
Washington, Feb. 22.—The Marshall Plan chief, Mr Paul Hoffman, said today that both the British Foreign Secretary, Mr Ernest Bevin, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Stafford Cripps, had told him that they expect Britain to be on a self-supporting basis by 1952 when the Mar. shall Plan ends.
Mr Hoffman was giving evidence in the Senate on his request for a' new appropriation of $2,950,000,000 for the third year of European re- covery aid.
His statement was made in response to a question from the Chair- man of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Mr Tom Connally, who asked whether the nations of Europe truly realised that aid would end in
1952.
