ADVANCED CAN BE PAID BACK (Special to The Citizen) ' NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 23.—! An outline of a four-point pro- | gram for European Recovery was issued today by the committee for the Marshall Plan. The committee's statement wai its first public announcement on the‘ essential principles of the Marshall Plan, and was released ; simultaneously in New York and, Washington by Robert P. Patter- son, former Secretary of War, | who is chairman of the executive * committee, and Dean Acheson, former Under Secretary of State, and, member of the executive committee. cl “The committee for the Mar-' shall Plan believes that a sv cessful ‘program must include these basic ele- ments,” Mr. Patterson state 1. Effective aid is prompt aid. 2. Effective aid is aid to do the | whole job. 3. Effective aid’ is based on mutual respect and honor. i 4. Effective aid is aid which will bring recovery and self-! support and not a hopeless load! of debt. 1 The committee for the Mar- | shall Plan believes that it is ap- © propriatéeto list’and describe the elements that will make an cf- fective European recovery pr gram. The committee _ believes { that the people and the congress can judge proposals for Eur pean aid by the following guide: The*European recovery pro- gram must go into effect on April 1, 1948. The new interim aid law will meet the minimum needs of France, Italy, and Aus- tria only to March 31. After that date, they, and by that time oth- | er European countries, will be unable to pay for their essential imports. Any gap between the end of the interim aid and the beginning of the European re- covery program will prevent an effective start on recovery dur- ing 1948. It would be a set-back | for the whole program. Completion of the European aid program + will come when these countries become self-sup porting. They will always need large imports because their na- tural resources will not support their population of 270 million | people. They must earn the mon- | ey to pay for these imports by exporting goods that they make. | They cannot at the same time accomplish recovery and provide | for the needs of their own peo- ple and also earn enough by their exports to pay for their imports and pay off a heavy load of debt as well.

Queer Malady Spreading Fast In Los Angeles (Ry ‘The Ascncinted Presed LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23. —An_ unidentified malady, except for the designation "Virus X,” is sweeping through this city. It has stricken 200,000 of the city’s 2,000,000 population. Dectors said the sickness is similar to flu, though it is not that disease. But the symptoms are similar. Vic- tims suffer with chills, fever, cramps, nausea and pain. Remedies, used against flu, have not proved effec- tive. “Virus X" first mani- fests itself with a cold, but its development is much faster than the ordinary cold or flu.
