Read this passage from a 1947 speech to Congress:
Collapse of free institutions and loss of independence
would be disastrous not only for them but for the world.
I therefore ask the Congress to provide authority for
assistance to Greece and Turkey in the amount of
$400,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1948. ... The
seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and
want. They spread and grow in the evil soil of poverty and
strife. They reach their full growth when the hope of a
people for a better life has died. We must keep that hope
alive. 1
