He estimated an additional 00,000,000 will -be needed in the 15 months starting) then. | Eventually, Marshall told a joint meetng of the Senate and House' Foreign Committees, long range, European recovery costs will mnge: between $16,000,000,000 and $20,- 000,000,000. i Putting Eviope back in good nealth, Marshall said, is the goal | of all the majcr Allies except Rus- | sia. Bluntly, he said, “the Soviet | Union does not for its own l'\"fl~: sons share this aim.” 1 Marshall’s caleulation of the (0-; tal cost of long range aid is con- siderably higher than the estimate submitted to President Truman by a 19-man Citizens Committee head- | ed by Secretary of Commerce Har-, riman, On Sa‘turcay this group had placed the crst of the four-year, self help proeiam at 512,000‘000‘0()0' to $17,000,000.030. I However, Marshall said it is im-{ possible to compute the amount with accuracy ut the present times. The Secretary said that the $597,- | 000000 in storgap funds ls neces- to meet a “real” and “ur- need in France, Italy and Austria. | After that emergency period he stimated that $1,500,000,000 will be | equired fromi March 31 until the’ end of the fiscal year June 30, and | an wdditional $6,000,000,000 for the full year beginning July 1 | ‘While Marshall confined his re-! port largely to Europe, he said lhel situation in China “continues to cause us deer concern” and "W i should extend to the govemmem’ | and peonle certain economic aid and assistance.” Republican Jleaders have insisted that China ! should be included in any stopgap i aid program. Marshall said its a definite propo- ! jy submission. And, he said, the United States and all other world powers ~ recoznize the national government of Generalissimo Chi- ang Kai-shek as the “sole legal government ot China.” i This was the first indication from any top govenment authority ot‘ America’s future policy toward Chi- na.
