Economic growth is the force that drives almost all aspects of American society. For over half a century, CED has advocated business and public policies that would enhance the opportunities for all Americans to improve their lives. In addressing a broad range of policy issues, CED has argued that economic growth and economic opportunity are usually complementary. Without growth, resources will be unavailable to widen opportunity. Without broadly available opportunity, we will fail to fulfill the democratic charge of the nation's founders and may reduce our potential for economic growth as well.

We believe that American cooperation is needed to accomplish two things: 1) Relief to tide Western Europe over its present distress and allow it time to accomplish the necessary expansion of production; 2) Help in the rebuilding and development necessary to reknit the economic fabric of Europe...."
