Henry F. Grady

Henry Francis Grady (February 12, 1882 – September 14, 1957) was an American economist, businessman and diplomat. He was a dean at the University of California (1928–1937), and a business executive (1941–1947). He became the first U.S. Ambassador to India (1947–1948), followed by Ambassador to Greece (1948–1950), and Ambassador to Iran (1950–1951). He was against British colonialism in India and Iran. He worked with British diplomats in 1946 to devise a plan for continued British control of Palestine, but the Morrison–Grady Plan was rejected by both Arabs and Jews.
