Marshall Plan
European Recovery Programme (ERP)
In his speech on June 5, 1947, the Secretary of State of America, George Marshall told the audience of Harvard University that in Europe “United States should assist in the return of normal economic health in the world.”
He further said that the policy of America was “against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the U.S.A. ”
He then assured that it would be the policy of the American government to assist the European countries in recovery of their economy in manner that a political and social conditions could develop in which the free institutions would exist. He told that they would not cooperate with such governments and parties (reference to communist parties and countries) which did not allow the development of free institutions (for him, the development of democracies.) He further told that the European governments would have to develop a consensus about the role and part they would play in recovery of their economies and the political institutions they would work through. He insisted that the economic designs would not be planned by the American government but the European governments would themselves decide upon the model to be adopted. In other words, he suggested that they would have to develop a critical view the communist form of economic model. He said, “The initiative must come from Europe.”
The government of United States of America then participated in the recovery of the economies of the European governments for next four years and that cooperation or the contribution in form of financial and technical support was called European Recovery Programme.
The American government evaluated that if the European governments did not improve in European economies, then they could not continue to buy from America for long. It would not be in benefit of American economy. Then, with shattered economies they could fall in the camp of Communist USSR. Therefore, for the benefit of the American economy and to stop the spread of Communism in the world, America came up with European Recovery Programme.
