The program was created in January 1955,[1] immediately upon the transfer of its remaining direct influence over the State of Vietnam to the chief of state, former Emperor Bao Dai and his Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem. What does this mean? Can this be rephrased for clarity? The meaning is not clear. Done
The method used for the program was import subsidisation. As part of the program, the United Stated pumped US dollars into the treasury of the South Vietnamese government, and the regime sold the US dollars to South Vietnamese businesspeople who had licenses that they could use to import American goods. Simpler and clear would be something like, "The program used import subsidies to pump US dollars into the South Vietnamese treasury. The regimes sold these dollars to business people who held licences to import American goods." {[done}}
The businessmen mostly used the import subsidies to purchase consumer goods such as water boats... "water boats"? What other type are there? Done
The word program is overused. Please find alternatives. Done
One of the political impacts of the injecting... Clumsy Done
As the program allowed those with licenses to import goods at half price, it was regarded as effectively a guarantee of business success, regardless of entrepreneurial skill, and as such was highly-prized. Really this prose is very poor. Please get someone to copy-edit thoroughly. Done
I feel that the history section needs a little bit more context about the two states that existed in Vietnam, also some sourced comments about the fact that this was a deliberate US program to counter communism (I assume taht this was the real inetent). Done
As it stands the article not reasonably well written. It needs a thorough copy-edit and it needs a little more context for those unfamiliar with the post second world war history of Vietanme and its role in US geo-politics. On hold for seven days.
