Acheson Scuttles Plan To Rearm West Germany
General George C. Marshall told Congress that arming Europe alone risks both psychology and strategy. He supported Truman’s request for 1.2225 billion for a second year of mutual defense aid to non Communist nations but warned, though unlikely, Russia could seize a window for rapid victory if defenses stay weak. He argued calculated risk reduces long term perils and that inaction would aid Soviet aims.
