Harry Truman: “We have succeeded in getting that far. But don't upset the applecart.”

I do not. General MacArthur is in the Army, and on active duty, and if he has anything that is of use to the Defense Department, he ought to tell them so they can make use of it.

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 Constitution belongs to no one group of people and to no single branch of the Government.

That is his duty. That is his duty.
