The ECA movement, in its efforts both to rehabilitate Europe and to reduce the danger of the spread of Communist ideology in Western Europe, has been a major force in shaping recent history, and to the development and establishment of ECA the American labor movement contributed both support and actual assistance, in part through its specialized press.
