“It is logical that the US should do whatever it is able to do to a**ist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without where there can be no political stability and no a**ured peace. Our policy is not directed against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist… any government which is willing to a**ist in the task of recovery will find full co-operation.. on the part of the United States Government.” – Marshal, June 47
