Harry Truman: “Nothing in this Executive order shall affect the validity or force of anything heretofore done under the said Executive…”

I can't see any good purpose to be served by that.

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.

This ceremony could be no more than a magnificent burial.

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