I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby request the observance of Sunday, May 8, 1949, as Mother's Day

We went into the United Nations in earnest, and we have endeavored ever since we have been in that organization to make it work, and we shall continue to try to make it work.

I wish you would inform yourselves completely on these matters.

The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State are available to discuss these matters with you, and can give you the details if you want them, because they are not secret, they are a part of the foreign policy of the United States…

I hope you gentlemen will completely inform yourselves on these matters before you come to any conclusion as to what your policy should be with regard to the policy of the United States.

I felt it my duty to bring to your attention that the expenditures that are being made for peace are in the hope that we won't have to make a war expenditure, and that they have to be made unless we want to begin to prepare for war.

The matter is under consideration, and is still under consideration.

I can't tell you yet.

I go because I want to go and because I think I ought to go, and not for the purpose of making a show.

I can't comment on that at the present time.

Oh yes, the matter will have to be finally submitted to me, and I will make the decision on it whenever it comes up, as I always do.

I can't answer that, because I really don't anticipate any serious change--any further major changes immediately.

We believe in freedom of expression, in freedom of worship, and the right to go where we please, if it does not injure anybody else when we do that.

Dr. Bacher has submitted his resignation, yes.

No--and the only comment on the thing is right here now.

I will answer that question when I get ready to send the request to the Senate.

I cannot comment on any leaks.

We are working for permanent peace in the world.
