Mr. Clayton spent four and Bhalf months In Europe lay- ing the groundwork for ald programme for Mr. George Marshall, who has estimated the cost nt between $16,000,- 000,000 and $20,000,000,000,

"This Mr. Clayton said: great outlay will not be just a bookkeeping transaction, it will represent continuing strain on our economy and certain sacri. fico on the part of individual Americans. We will need n combination of understanding, firmness and tact, and we must insist on certain wise but tough | conditions and stand firm for| their observance."
