...second part is a tentative suggestion of policies which may implement the new creed. These policies reflect a British point of view, but are equally applicable to the other United Nations. Professor Carr has wisely avoided the trap of laying down iron-bound organizational rules at the present time; instead, he has described the task to be faced and one way of getting at it. Few of these proposals can be termed startlingly new, but the manner of presentation is one of the few cogent and complete systems of reconstruction yet devised...

What had really happened was that the committee had bluntly told Henry Morgenthau to get ready for sales taxes...
