ALMEN BOOOTA, Colombia. April 2 (Pi Latin American hopes for large scale United States aid dimmed to day following Secretary Marshall's statement that European recovery Is the prime U. S. objective. Marshall's speech to the Pan American conference yesterday left little doubt. In the minds of dele gates that the United States will be unable to afford blank checks for the economic development of Latin America, although she Is will ing to do as much as her resources permit The American secretary of state told delegates Washington la pre pared to Increase aid to needy hem. isphere neighbors but that the Eu ropean recovery program must take precedence. He asked Latin American nations to sacrifice some of their demands for aid in the Interests of world peace. Marshall's direct language on the economic phase ot the conference came as a surprise to many dele gates, who had considered United States aid a primary objective of this ninth International conference of American states. The secretary of state said the European recovery program would help bring more dollars to Latin American producers of prime ma terials. He added, however, that there was little chance that the hemis phere nations would receive any Increase in the way of tteel and heavy machinery, since U. S, pro ducers themselves are short. There were some tlgnt of resent ment to Marshall's blunt declara tion that he felt there was a "very limited understanding of the tre mendous responsibilities and equal-'- tremendous burden that the gov ernment of the United States hoi been compelled to assume." In general, however, the reaction to his statement was favorable.
