Special Situation Gaup Meeting on Poland -- Decq 28
1. State Dept. paper presents accurately the reluctance of
Allies to back drastic actions against Soviet Union now.
2. "IV. Assessment" fails to mention the "Marshall Plan" option
(II. A. 5.). This might be worth taking up with our Allies, if only
to demonstrate US is capable of positive thinking. French themselves-
prior to martial law-had suggested such an option. Germans might
still object that Marshall Plan is provecative (it is), but at least
it would have virtue of smoking out jact whati intentions
are vis-a-vis EE relations with West.
The President, of course, has already alluded to the Marshall
Plan in his initial speech on Poland. It need not be seen as a
"bail-out" of Polish economy (cf. "Cons" under II. A. 5.) if it
is clearly linked to pursuit of economic (and political?) reforms.
