What we want is a partnership for peace.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

We can all be proud of them.

There are men in the Congress who do not yet realize that we are an international nation now, and not just a Republic bounded on the east by the Atlantic and on the west by the Pacific.

It is necessary, after our conference with General MacArthur on the situation in Korea and Japan, for me to immediately return to San Francisco and tell the world what our policy is as it affects the world and world peace.

There was not a single man there who did not feel that he was making the proper sacrifice for his country.

I am just as sure as I stand here that the people behind the Iron Curtain are just as anxious for peace as I am.

I am sincerely sorry about the casualties, but somebody has to meet these situations; they can't be met with sticks and stones--somebody is bound to get hurt.
