Truman Inauguration
MS President HARRY TRUMAN continuing Inaugural Address: "It is fitting, therefore, that we take this occasion to proclaim to the world the essential principles of the faith by which we live, and to declare our aims to all peoples." "In the pursuit of these aims, the United States & other likeminded nations find themselves directly opposed by a regime with contrary aims & a totally different concept of life. That regime adheres to a false philosophy which purports to offer freedom, security, & greater opportunity to mankind. Misled by this philosophy, many peoples have sacrificed their liberties only to learn to their sorrow that deceit & mockery, poverty & tyranny, are their reward. That false philosophy is communism. Communism is based on the belief that man is so weak & inadequate that he is unable to govern himself, and therefore requires the rule of strong masters. Democracy is based on the conviction that man has the moral and intellectual capacity, as well as the inalienable right, to govern himself with reason and justice."

We are ready to undertake new projects to strengthen the free world." TLS/LSs crowd. "Steadfast in our faith in the Almighty, we will advance toward a world where man's freedom is secure. To that end we will devote our strength, our resources, and our firmness of resolve. With God's help, the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice, harmony, and peace."
