Harry Truman: “I hope that they will take a position as soon as they possibly can.”

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.

We have learned that the mark of a well-managed land lies in the care a Nation gives to its rivers.

Of course I would. I wouldn't be discourteous to anybody. I never have been.

That is his duty. That is his duty.
