"Marshall Aid, 1948" [HFR0104], 1948
In 1947, the American Secretary of State, George Marshall, proposed his European Recovery Programme, later known as the Marshall Plan, to rebuild a war-shattered Europe. Marshall offered financial aid from the USA for a programme of European economic recovery. In April 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed the first appropriation bill authorizing $5,300,000,000 for the first year. The European Recovery Program came to an end on 31 December, 1951. In its three year existence, the ERP spent almost $12,500,000,000, with Britain receiving the largest share of any European nation.
This article by Stanley Evans MP from the August 1948 Birmingham Trades Council Journal outlines the arguments around the acceptance of Marshall Aid in Britain. |
