ABSTRACT
Chapter 1 consists of excerpts from a memorandum written in the economic side of the Department of State in May 1947-though dated 12 June 1947, one week after Secretary of State George C. Marshall’s speech at Harvard University because of typing delays-by Harold van B.Cleveland of the Division of Investment and Economic Development, Ben T.Moore of the Division of Commercial Policy, and me, who was in the Division of German and Austrian Economic Affairs. The copy I have been able to get hold of lacks a title-page, and a title. The Introduction states that it was “prepared primarily for the consideration of the Policy Planning Staff, [but] it is hoped that it will evoke general discussion and criticism in the Department.”
