Soviet Interest in Marshall Plan Draws Aides Hopeful
London dispatch reports the Soviet government is interested in more data on the Marshall Plan for European aid but has received insufficient details to state a position. Tass notes US press mentions billions, but not credit terms or UN relation. Bevin and Bidault discussed the plea in Paris, with Molotov saying Moscow is interested in facts. Ambassador Peterson and Charpentier raised the matter but could not provide fuller information. Hopes for Soviet participation grow amid cautious capitals and a possible British-French-Russian conference.
