The American cartoon likely portrays the Marshall Plan as a positive step for European recovery and independence from Soviet influence, reflecting the U.S. perspective of providing aid to rebuild European economies and prevent the spread of communism. The Soviet cartoon probably criticizes the Marshall Plan as a tool for the U.S. to extend its economic and political control over Europe, reflecting the Soviet view of the plan as an imperialist strategy.
