[Headed] A shield in American colours saying FOR EUROPEAN RECOVERY supplied by the United States of America, Economic Cooperation Administration. Special Mission to the United Kingdom, 9 May 1949.~Two pages, sm. folio, good condition. Text; As I said to you the other day at the Ackermans, I do not think that 'The Economist's' figures contradict what we said in Spain. [...] He goes on to compare taxes per capita in the States and UK, giving figures for total tax, population, and tax per person (about $100 les per person in the UK). He continues, I agree however that per capita figures are by no means the only criterion because of the great national income per person in the United States[...] He then quotes 'The Economist' giving percentages of the tax burden.~65~AUTOGRAPH ECONOMICS ECONOMIC COOPERATION ADMINISTRATION~ ~0~RF2~ ~ ~ ~ ~
