The situation in Europe is "grave", he said. "And American aid is needed urgently to keep western Europe from going under." Marshall said the alternative is "tragedy for the world" and loss of important freedoms to the American people. He also disclosed that a definite proposal to aid China will be sub- i mitted to congress .later. Marshall appeared before the senate foreign relations committee commit-tee and the house foreign affairs committee to make the administration's adminis-tration's first formal presentation of its European aid programs.
