Elliott Blasts Palestine Plan, Endorses Marshall Program

William Yandell Elliott, Leroy B. Williams Professor of Government, last night assailed "red-fascism" as the menace to be watched in both the Marshall Plan and the Palestine partition program. He addressed a gathering of 200 at an open meeting of the United Nations Council in Littauer Auditorium.

Speaking as "an academic irresponsible," the staff director of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs asserted that the United States "can build up the industrial might of Germany without antagonizing" the other nations of Europe. But this cannot be done "if Russia controls Germany."

Convinced that U. S. support of the partition plan for Palestine was a "bad decision," Professor Elliott thought it would "work out peacefully but under a regime celebrating the virtues of Allah, on one hand, and Marx, on the other." It would be dangerous, he claimed to "let 100,000 Jews enter Palestine from carefully indoctrinated countries." In this game, "the Jews and Arabs are merely pawns."
