Speeches of Harry S. Truman
March 6th, 1952. Excerpt of Radio and Television Address to the American People on the Mutual Security Program. President HARRY TRUMAN delivering a national address regarding Communism: "The real threat to our security isn't the danger of bankruptcy; it is the danger of communist aggression. If communism is allowed to absorb the free nation one by one, then we will be isolated from our source of supply and detached from our friends. Then we would have to take defense measures which might really bankrupt our economy, and change our way of life so that we wouldn't recognize it as American any longer. That's the very thing we're trying to keep from happening."

June 10th, 1950. Excerpt of Address in St. Louis at the Site of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. MSs Mr. Truman, JOSEPH STALIN & WINSTON CHURCHILL meeting at Potsdam Conference, 1945. Mr. Truman speaking at outdoor rally. "In the 5 years that have passed since the end of the war, we have been confronted with a new, powerful imperialism. We had hoped that our wartime ally, the Soviet Union, would join in the efforts of the whole community of nations to build a peaceful world. Instead, the Soviet leaders have been an obstacle to 'peace. By means of infiltration, subversion, propaganda, and indirect aggression the rulers of the Soviet Union have sought to extend the boundaries of their totalitarian control. With a cynical disregard for the hopes of mankind, the leaders of the Soviet Union have talked democracy and have set up dictatorships. They have proclaimed national independence but imposed national slavery. They have preached peace but devoted their energies to fomenting aggression and preparing for war." C/As of MAO TSE-TUNG (ZEDONG) meeting with Red Chinese soldiers and officers in field. MS of soldiers marching
