Marshall Plan Benefit Not Full, Baruch Discovers NEW YORK. July 27. " Bernard Baruch said Tuesday on arriving from Europe that the Marshall plan has been effect ive "but not as effective as it should have been." The white-haired financier aln said he believed Britain was spending too much time on na tionalization and "not devoting sufficient energy to developing their country and Its production. Baruch was asked, "do you think the European countries would help themselves more if we help them less?" "There's a heap of sense In that." he answered. Asked his opinion of U. S. business conditions, the financier said "I do not agree with those people who claim we have a slump here In America and that we are looking more toward the left than to the right. No nation ever adopted communism volun tarily. "If we happen to lose a little money, and we've suffered thia before, we'll tighten our belts and go ahead as we have done." He commented that this coun try is spending billions "gird ing itself for defense." In reply to a question as to whether this is necessary, he said: "Unfortunately, yes."
