<<< The way in which the policy process and the ideology process differ, even though the same organizations are at the center of both, is shown clearly in the work of the War and Peace study groups of the Council on Foreign Relations. Although those groups concentrated on formulating a set of policies to integrate a postwar international economy dominated by the United States, they also concerned themselves with the problem of how to generate public support for these programs. As one of the groups wrote in July, 1941, the "formulation of a statement of war aims for propaganda purposes is very different from formulation of one defining the true national interest." The same group prepared the following statement for government officials: "If war aims are stated which seem to be concerned solely with Anglo-American imperialism, they will offer little to people in the rest of the world, and will be vulnerable to Nazi counterpromises. Such aims would also strengthen the most reactionary elements in the United States and the British Empire. The interests of other peoples should be stressed, not only those of Europe, but also of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This would have a better propaganda effect. " >>> thirdworldtraveler.com
