WayClear For Arms Allianjce With West Europe Fracticially Assured by Bi-Parti- saii Foreign Policy By John M. Bightower Washington, Oct. 27; (AP) Under Secretary of State Lovett said today that spadework already done will speed action on the proposal to create a north Atlantic defense system. From top diplomatic officials, it was learned that once the formal proposal for such an alliance is received from thei western European ISlpc, the next stop will be to consult with poUtlcal and congressional leaders. This means that state department will seek a ftoal green Ught to push for action after next week's presidential elections.

It also means that It is already laying the iMsis for presentation to the Senate of the prospective, unprecedented peacetime alliance between the TThited States and a group of European nations. DipuimaUc officlaU who have been. Working on preparations for the alliance say they believe it is based on this country's bi-partisan foreign policy and that the project will be carried forward whether President Truman or Gov. Thomas E. Dewey is elected.

in general the alliance Is planned as a regional defense arrangement, under the United Nations charter, along the line of the 1947 Inter- American defense system which provides for common security action in the western hemisphere. ECA Grants Only On Loan Basis Washington, Oct 28. Economic Cooperation Administration announoed today it will-make no new Marshall! plan grants to European coubtrlea unless they have signed, loan agreemenU. Only Brtt- Hn and now have loan agreements. 'J I The action temporarily cuts off new grants, or outright gifts, of recovery aid to France, Italy, Den- malrk, Sweden, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands and These are the countries eligible for ECA ai4 on a repayable loan basis, with whom negotiations have been to progress for Exempted from the cut-offorder are nations whose economic condition is such that ECA is not requiring them to sign up for loans.

These toclude Austria, Greece, Trieste and the allied zones of Germany. The halt to new grants will not stop shipments imder grants already made. The British yesterday signed a loan agreement for $310,000,000 and Iceland also is exempt from the sweeping ECA she concluded a $3,300,000 fisheries credit in the summer. ECA is obliged under the foreign assistance act to use $1,000,000,000 of its Marshall plan approriatlon to making loans which are repayable and which will finance specific Industrial recovery projects. Acting EGA ard Bruce said he did hot beUeve the halt to new granta Vould last long, or that it would affect the over-all program of providing aid under the ECA program." The chief practical effect of the whole move is simply to prod France, Italy, Denmark, i Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands to loan agreements.
