C. FOR I1,KDIATE RELEASE February 25, 1948 YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS Ralph W. Gwinn, M.C. 27th New York District THE NEW PLAN FOR EUROPEAN RECOVERY I am proposing below a new plan for European Recovery with the hope that it will be the Republican Plan. It is built upon the prin- ciple of actual cooperation by each and every natioh in Western Europe, South and North America in the financing of the Recovery Program. The principles of the plan to be worked abroad are none other than the principles of freedom on which we work here at home. They must be the same. For to finance a socialist economy abroad is to finance scarcity and more starvation instead of recovery. The New Deal planned economy at home was stopped at the election in November, 1946. But the State Department continues to operate the New Deal planned economy in foreign affairs because the administrative branch of the government has not yet been subjected to a national election, and by a fantastic propaganda program, the administration has deceived and frightened the people with threats of communism overtaking Europe. At the same time, it has financed the forces of socialism already in power, committing the very wrongs feared most. When I felt compelled to vote against the so-called Interim Aid to Europe in the Special Session, December, 1947, I had earlier voted both for the British gift of $3,750,000,000 and for the gifts of $400,000,000 to Greece and Turkey. Our party voted for these immense gifts, because it was sincerely hoped that these billions, together with all the other billions of dollars previously given, would provide these nations with still another breathing spell. They needed it in order to recover their own freedom from the groups of political and economic tyranny found in power when the armed forces returned to their own homes after fighting tyranny a- broad or in the underground. No such recovery has happened. Socialist cabinets are actually in control of every Western European country except Holland, Belgium, Portugal and Switzerland. Their whole national economy is now a con- trolled statism, operated according to the false and pernicious Bible of Karl Marx. What sense is there in making fine distinctions between their socialism and outright communism.
