This article presents various developments in the world politics. One thing is clear as the attack in the U.S. Congress against the Marshall Plan, for economic recovery in Europe, begins to take shape: no one is going to try to defeat it outright. Even the most isolationist Republicans in both houses are directing their strategy to various changes designed to pare it down, or bring it under an independent agency, or insure hard-boiled "business" control of the funds after they are allocated. The danger is that just enough of these amendments will be voted to ruin the value of the program, while no comparable changes will be made to guard against its use for reactionary ends here and abroad.
