SOURCE 1A
From a speech by General Marshall in 1947, announcing the Marshall Plan.
We propose a plan of European recovery, open to all nations which co-operate in such a plan, based upon a strong production effort, the
expansion of foreign trade, the creation of internal financial stability, and the development of economic co-operation. Our policy is not directed
against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Governments, political parties or groups which seek to
perpetuate human misery in order to profit politically will encounter the opposition of the United States.
