"They were not. I have the resignation of every member of the Government who can resign since I have been President!"

"The cancellation of lend-lease began as soon as the war ceased. It was not a cancellation, it was a readjustment because of the new conditions as they came about due to the collapse of Germany."

"Mr. Wickard's resignation is being accepted, and he is being appointed REA Administrator; and Congressman Clinton P. Anderson of New Mexico is being appointed Secretary of Agriculture."

"With best wishes for continued success and happiness in your work, Very sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN"
