Harry Truman: “We are not surrendering these rights by terminating the state of war.”

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.

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.

The experience of this early period of public action showed that constant vigilance and competent professional guidance are essential to prevent irreparable losses.

That is his duty. That is his duty.
