Harry Truman

We believe that all men have the same rights, and that these rights must be respected.

If we permit its use, our constitutional form of government can be destroyed.

We are glad that you are about to join us.

It is a pleasure to do that in this case.

I know that many of you here are educators and teachers, and that you are working night and day to explain to our young people what our Government stands for and how it works.

For 7 long years I have spent my time and every effort of which I am capable to attain peace in the world.

I want to congratulate the services on the way they are handling the women in the services.

I said it would not bring peace.

I am glad Ike is perfectly willing to take some of the principal planks in the Democratic platform and try to stand on them.

I don't give a 'hoot' what they say on the editorial pages if they will just give me a fair deal in the news.

Yes--isolationist Congress.

I don't think that's true.
