Washington Merry-Go-Round recalls how the Marshall plan traced to Dean Acheson stepping in for President Truman in Mississippi when Senator Bilbo lay ill. The White House saw revitalizing Europe as accidental and explosive, with Truman postponing a Cleveland speech.
Acheson arranged broad cabinet review of Henry Wallace’s Russia speech to avoid Senate scrutiny.

Scotty Reston queried if it marked a new US policy, to which Acheson pointed to the White House.
At a White House briefing Reston posed a carefully worded query about whether the Cleveland Mississippi address echoed Acheson’s view of administration policy. Truman affirmed the speech represented official policy, recalling Army and Navy approval. Acheson responded days later.
