Does a similar statement appear
in any English editions of
the _General Theory_?

-----------------------------------
If were going to get into specific quotation from _General Theory_, I might
as well remind people of the most remarkable sentence in Keynes' striking
comments in the foreward to the German edition of 1936:

     Trotzdem kann die Theorie der Production als Ganzes, die den Zweck
     des felgenden Buches bildet, viel leichter den Verhaltnissen eines
     totalen Staates angepasst werden als die Theorie der Erzeugung und
     Verteilung einer gegebenen, unter Bedigungen des freien Wettbewerbes
     und eines grossen Masses von laissez-faire erstellten Produktion.

The translation provided by Beebe, Narjes, and Martin is:

     The theory of aggregate production, which is the point of the
     following book, nevertheless can be much easier adapted to the
     conditions of the totalitarian state than the theory of production
     and distribution of a given production put forth under conditions
     of free competition and a large degree of laissez-faire.
