George Marshall, "Our policy is against hunger, desperation and chaos", Cambridge, MA, June 5, 1947, Twentieth-Century Speeches, 1992, 148.
Our policy is directed not 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 emergenc of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist. Such assistance, I am convinced, must not be a piecemeal basis as various crises develop. Any assistance that this Government may render in the future should provide a cure than a mere palliative.
