The Department of State was only one of the Government agencies concerned with the mutual aid program. Any comprehensive treatment of the subject would involve extensive publication of records from the Foreign Economic Administration, the Department of the Treasury, the War Department, and the Department of the Navy. Aside from some supplementary papers, the editors have selected only those papers from the files of the Department of State needed to document the part played by that Department in connection with its responsibilities in the making of policy decisions in this field.
