Meanwhile, from Germany itself last week came a news picture showing Germans gathering up potatoes left over by a potato-digging machine (see cut). That picture epitomized the current waste of Europe's most productive workers; the Marshall approach could not work until such Germans were making agricultural machines instead of gleaning potatoes...
...continue empire trade preference and to protect dwindling dollar balances by restrictions on the convertibility of sterling into dollars. At best, such concessions could only relieve, not cure, Britain's economic ills. The circle of economic conferences came back to Paris' Grand Palais and the Marshall approach because of one appalling fact about the postwar world economy: Britain and other nations last year bought $21 billion worth of goods in the U.S.; the U.S. bought from them only $8 billion worth.

She could hope for European purchases, to be paid for in dollars, if the "Marshall approach" got under way. But that was a matter beyond Canada's control. The remaining alternatives were a U.S. loan, or a cut in U.S. imports...
