Aid program choice hinges on European recovery plan
Army Secretary Royall warned Congress that the United States faces a choice between the Marshall plan for European recovery and an immediate peacetime draft to rebuild forces. He said voluntary enlistments and current spending would not avert Communist collapse in Europe. Defense Secretary Forrestal echoed that rejection of the Marshall plan could require 17 billion dollars annually for arms and that the alliance's aim is to deter war, not dominate others. If Europe goes Communist, the services would seek a 25 to 50 percent budget increase to restore strength and modernize equipment and weapons.
