Little Marshall Plan for Korea Proposed to Contain Communism
Foreign Aid Administrator Paul G Hoffman urged a three year program to aid Korea as a counter to communism. Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Hoffman argued for recovery aid totaling 150 million for the year starting July 1, saying relief alone makes little sense and that the plan could lead to self sufficiency and economic independence from the northern Russian held zone. He stressed the aim of a united self governing Korea eligible for United Nations membership.
