Harry Truman: “A free press is just as important as the Bill of Rights, and that is what is contained in the Bill of Rights.”

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.

It would have involved us in all-out war in the Far East, and we have been strenuously trying to avoid that all the time.

The course of action you recommend has my approval.

That is his duty. That is his duty.
