Marshall, George C.

19??-1949

"As Secretary of State he gave his name to the Marshall Plan"

"The European Recovery Plan, which became known as the Marshall Plan, would help Europe quickly rebuild and modernize its economy on American lines. Truman wanted to call the plan the Truman Plan, but was warned that the plan would sink before it took off if named that. Truman thought of the idea to call it the Marshall Plan." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Marshall

Mason, Edward S.

MASON:...I also represented the OSS on the joint intelligence staff of the Army, Navy, Air Force, State Department, etc. I also represented the OSS on the Strategic Bombing Survey. So, those were my governmental connections before I moved to the State Department in December, 1944, to be deputy to Will Clayton, who was Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs.

MCKINZIE: Had you known Will Clayton before this?

MASON: Just briefly, I hadn't known him very well. I had been on a few committees in which he was present. But I didn't know him particularly well.

MCKINZIE: You were, of course, aware of his views about economics?

MASON: Yes, and I had a tremendous admiration for Will Clayton. He's one of the really remarkable people I've met in the course of my life. And there's one episode during the six or seven months when I was his deputy that I remember very well. It was three or four days after Roosevelt's death that Clayton had an opportunity of talking with President Truman and I remember his coming back and telling me, "I think this fellow is going to be all Right...." continues at:

Streit, Clarence K.

"In 1939, Clarence Streit, a New York Times correspondent at the League of Nations, published his work Union Now. A proposal for a federal union of the leading democracies, Union Now advocated the gradual growth of a democratic world federation as a means of forestalling the possibility of future wars. In 1940, a year later, Streit founded the Association to Unite the Democracies, then called Federal Union, Inc., a non-profit membership organization committed to the burgeoning federalist movement influenced by his timely book...In early 1949, AUD spawned the Atlantic Union Committee, with former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts as Chairman, former Under-Secretary of State Will Clayton and former Secretary of War Robert Patterson as Vice Chairman, in an intensive nationwide campaign for Atlantic integration." http://www.iaud.org/history.html#BRIEF
