In reply to: Mr. Davis 's message, "Marshall Plan" on Wednesday, January 30, 08:32:16pm

American decision makers felt that the Marshall Plan was a good use of American funds because they feared that if the United States did not come to the aid of the European countries, they were vulnerable to being assisted by communist Russia. Americans feared that this would lead to the spread of communism throughout Europe and that by helping the European countries first they were cutting off the spread of communism. Stamps were on items shipped to the European countries that said, "Strength for the Free World--From the United States of America," which shows the American preoccupation with maintaining democracies in Europe and preventing the spread of communism (http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/marshall/mars12.html).
