The ECA said western Europe will double its military goods output in the coming year, after already doubling in the two years since the North Atlantic treaty.

Authorizations total $430.1 million for the quarter, with Germany, France, Italy, and Austria receiving significant shares. Britain, Ireland, Sweden, and Portugal are moving toward less or no Marshall Plan aid.
