Harry Truman: “We do not want to conquer any people, or to dominate them.”

It was suggested, and I decided that it wouldn't serve any good purpose, it would be just a piece of demagoguery; and that is what it turned out to be.

The people of the United States have a very great asset in this force.

I have great faith and confidence in our civil servants.

The course of action you recommend has my approval.
