The cabinet menitier address-
Ing the annual state ' dinner jot
I
the governor's ' conference said
dais country now stands at !1
"turning point'! its relations
'i with the test of the world
"There is no hlihking the fact"
he said "that this country now
stands at a turning point in its
relations to its traditional friends
among the nations - of the old
world"
- Calling on the governors for
thiir supportiot the economic re-'
habilitation plan he has proposed
for Europe Marshall did not
mention Russia by name in his
address
Must Finish Task
But he told the state execu-I
tives' gathering that either the
United States must "finish the
task" of helping European coun-
tries get on their feet again or
"reconcile" itself to a drift in
government among those nations
atvay from principles comilstent
with democracy
He said the rehabilitation pro-
gram which is exlected to be pro-
poscd late this year for congres-
sional consideration in January
would be "fully consistent with
- our own national Interests and
yet equally considerate of the in-
calculable stake which this coun
try has in the preservation of
European civilization"
The secretary said that many
contended that previous efforts
to aid European countries were
"ptece-meal and certainly not
fully effective"
Calling attention to the efforts
of 16 nations to draft an econom
It blueprint at the current Paris
conference the secretary of state
- -said he hopes Americans—can
"avoid prejudiced viewpoints" in
their judgments on the proposals
to be forthcoming
He called for a "keen and sym-
pathetic understanding for the
efforts now under way in Europe'
to overcome the limitations of
national barriers In the approach
to a solution for common econom-
ic problems"
- - Asks Public Help
'
Marshall made no specific pro-
posals for Germany a point on
which Moscow has been acridly
critical The Soviets have charged
that any effort to include the
Ruhr in what they have called a
"western bloc" economic unit
would involve a violation of the
Potsdam agreement
Outlining the difficulties which
have confronted him id the tur-
bulent diplomatic exchanges in
the last few months- Marshall
urged the governors to help form
public opinion behind the na-
tion's foreign policy

that immediately following a
previous talk the commissioner
got in touch with his division ed-
gineer about the bridge across the
North Canadian river between

fort to comply with Johnson'fi re-
quest that steps be taken to ef-
fect its completion
"McDonald" Johnson said "in-
formed me today thdt the project
will be cleared for advertisement
for bids for the superstructure
He pointed out---towever that
considerable difficulty is being
experienced in receiving bids for
bridges involving steel at reason-
able prices and with firm sched-
ules for delivery of steel
"He pointed out that the ques-
tion of awarding a contract for
the construction of the super-
structure can only be determined
after the bids are received and it
Is ascertained whether there is
assurance of prompt delivery of
the necessary materials
"It is encouraging to me to
know that the public roads ad-
ministration is going to advertise
for bids on this project and I
am hopeful that actual work on
the bridge may be commenced
in the not too distant future"
Johnson said
