Our third major move was the joint action of the
United States, Great Britain and France in establishing a working,
but by no means final, economic organization for the Western Zones
of Germany, under Allied military control. This step was under-
taken to encourage the economic revival of Germany, under proper
safeguards, so as to aid the recovery of all Western Europe and
promote stability.
These major bipartisan moves in the field of foreign
policy have had as their goal the peace of the world. Naturally,
this country was at the same time protecting its own interests.
No
nation can afford to disregard self-interest.
But I think it is fair to say that American policy has
revealed an unusual degree of enlightenment. We have taken
any
it as a first principle that our interest is bound up with
the peace and economic recovery of the rest of the world.
Accordingly, we have worked for all three together -- world
peace, world economic recovery, and the welfare of our own
nation.
