I entreat them, in church, chapel and synagogue, in their homes and in the busy walks of life, every day and everywhere, to pray for peace.

All I am doing is enforcing it, and I expect to enforce it to the letter.

The Commandant shall not issue a Coast Guard Port Security Card if he is satisfied that the character and habits of life of the applicant therefor are such as to authorize the belief that the presence of such individual on board a vessel…

The security of the United States is endangered by reason of subversive activity.

Evidence of sabotage or subversive activity involving or endangering any vessel, harbor, port, or waterfront facility shall be reported immediately to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and to the captain of the port, or to their…

All agencies and authorities of the Government of the United States shall, and all state and local authorities and all persons are urged to, support, conform to, and assist in the enforcement of these regulations.

We seek no territory or special privilege in Korea or anywhere else.

Now, let no aggressor make any mistake about that.

This remarkable accomplishment should not delude us into any false sense of security.

We have no aggressive designs in Korea or in any other place in the Far East or elsewhere.

We must be better armed and better equipped than we are today if we are to be protected from the dangers which still face us.

We can all be proud of them.

I have just returned from Wake Island, where I had a very satisfactory conference with Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

We are going ahead in dead earnest to build up our defenses.

There is no substitute for personal conversation with the commander in the field who knows the problems there from firsthand experience.

We discussed Japan and the need for an early Japanese peace treaty.

All around the world the free nations have been gaining in strength.

I am confident that these forces will soon restore peace to the whole of Korea.

I have come back from this conference with increased confidence in our long-range ability to maintain world peace.

What we want is a partnership for peace.

For Korea has become the symbol of the resistance of a united humanity against aggression.

The only victory we seek is the victory of peace.

There is no reason why it can't be done.

I am just as sure as I stand here that if the truth could be gotten to these people, there would be peace in the world.

And as the most powerful nation in the world, we have to assume world responsibilities.
