Government program nets profit for Marshall plan stay
NEA Washington correspondent Peter Edson discusses a small part of the Marshall plan administered by the Economic Cooperation Administration and later the Mutual Security Agency. He notes that dollar guarantees on foreign sales of American magazines books and films yielded a profit of 190000 for the U S Treasury, while outlining the program mechanics and participating publishers and studios. The piece emphasizes the profit came from converting foreign earnings into dollars and that payments totaled five million despite broader criticisms of the aid program.
