Editorial Note
On August 29 a special mission, headed by Wayne C. Taylor, assistant to the ECA Administrator Hoffman, submitted to ECA its “Report of the Economic Cooperation Administration–Department of Commerce Mission on Increasing Dollar Earnings of Western Europe”. Beginning in May 1949 the group had investigated the possibilities for increased sales of European products in the Western Hemisphere in order to augment dollar imports into Western Europe. The report was made public by ECA in October 1949. For excerpts, see Documents on American Foreign Relations, Volume XI, 1949, edited by Raymond Dennett and Robert K. Turner and published for World Peace Foundation by Princeton University Press (Princeton, 1950), page 224.
