There are a number of sources that would support the fact that the Marshall Plan was 'Altruistic', such as Churchill's claim that, 'It is the most unselfish act in History'. However there are also a number of reasons, and a number of thoughts behind the plan that indeed contradicted it's altruistic counterpart. Such as the fact that Truman himself had a vendetta agains't the Soviets and that the US did not want other countries to fall in the hands of the Russians, by turning to communist regimes. There is also the factor that the US may have been trying to save the Trade Market, so gave money to Europe.
The fact that it is altruistic is plainly upto interpretation.
The Marshall Plan was, indeed a loan. No, the Marshall plan was not a loan. It was aid. There were loans made but they were not part of the Marshall Plan itself.
