Son Dick Higgins, now living in Evanston with his pretty wife, Betts, wrote his Dad not long ago requesting a frank, onâ€"theâ€"spot statement of Mr. Higgins‘ impresâ€" sion of the Marshall Plan to date. "Belgium," Mr. Higgins continâ€" ues, "received the help she needed at the proper time to ward off a Communist threat and today finds If you have car trouble, pull off to the side of the road.

From my recent trip through that country I found that there is still a 30% communist vote in most of her heavy industry. One of the signs inside the zone, my friends report, reads like this: Well, the Higgins are now with the ECA in Paris. "However, the country as a whole now registers not more than a 10% Communist vote. "This credit goes to the Mar shall Plan. HOW ABOUT GERMANY? .. "Western Germany is making tremendous strides to rehabilitate herself industrially, Her machine tool industry this year will turn out 66 million dollars worth of goods versus 33 million dollars last year. . . ." Mr. Higgins continues: "One of the great assets I personally count is the effect the Marshall Plan has had on the morale of all of these people from the farmer to the banker, Subscription rates: $1.50 per year; 5 cents per single copy. $3.00 per year outside of Lake County, lllinois, After being kicked around for four years of occupation they sudâ€" denly found a strong friend by THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS Entered as second class matter March 1, 1911, at the Post Office at Highland Park, lllinois.

This is one of the greatest activities the U.S.A. has ever undertaken, Anything of this magnitude is bound to be critiâ€" cised, but 30 to 50 years from today the world will realize what a forward step it was in its relief to all mankind." PARTING THOUGHT ... | PURNELL and WILSON An interesting report from a talented American who is in the front lines of the Marshall Plan. Remember! Men, like steel, should be well tempered! "It must be remembered," Mr. Higgins adds, "that the manufacâ€" turer or the farmer has received nothing as a gift from the Marâ€" shall Plan. He has paid through counterpart funds (in the currency of the country) for everything he has received from the Plan. This total aid has amounted to approxâ€" imately 5% of the national anâ€" nual income of these countries."
