Lord general manager Winnipeg tuesday july 8, 1952 from Harvard to Bonn five years ago general Marshall announced at Harvard University the plan of european reconstruction which bears his name the Marshall plan succeeded beyond All expectation in its purpose of restoring the productive capacity of Western Europe. But from the perspective of five years it is Clear that it did not succeed in its larger objective of making Western Europe militarily and politically Safe. The original assumptions on which the plan was based have been destroyed by the expansionist policies of russian communism. The present situation in Europe is to be understood it is necessary to recall the series of grim anniversaries All of them standing like sign posts on the March of communism in .1945.

Two Vears later in 1950, the free world was confronted by first outright military aggression in Korea test to save or destroy the United nations. In that test the t nit re nations did not fail. In 1052 this sombre struggle has entered another critical , with the decision of the Western governments to re Arm Western Germany As virtually a full fledged member of the North Atlantic defence Community despite Russia s threat to resist this policy. On this record it can be seen that general Marshall s As it the world crisis an assessment shared by All the governments unhappily underestimated the Power determination and the ingenuity of russian com mums a general Marshall declared that a seism put.
