NEW YORK, Oct. 27-Warn-
ing against a breakdown in Al
lied unity, President Truman
today proclaimed to the world a
12-point foreign policy based on
the use of military power to
preserve peace while hoping
eventually to outlaw the atomic
bomb.
Loss of faith in the effectiveness
Of international organization" is the
great threat to peace, the President
declared, adding solemnly: "In an
atomic age it Would be nothing short
of disastrous"
Until world cooperation reaches
the state where atomic methods of
destructione can be definitely and
effectively <outlawed forever" he
said, the United States will hold
the secret of the atomic weapon as
q sacred trtst."
Speaking to vast audience in
Central Park as he prepared to re-
view the American Fleet, anchored
in the Hudson River, in a spectac-
ular climax to a Navy day celebra-
ton, Mr.. Truman admitted that
I'VE are now passing through a
difficult phase of international re-
lations."
Emphasizes Allied Unity.
Unfortunately it has always been
true after past wars, that the unity
among Allies, forged by their COM
mon peril, has tended to wear out
as the danger passes" he asserted.
"The world cannot afford any
letdown in the united determination
of the Allies in this war to ac-
complish lasting peace. The
world cannot afford to let the CO.
operative spirit of the Allies in
this war disintegrate."
Mr.. Truman's reference patiently
was to the troubled relationship
with Russia. but he called on "the
people in the United States, in
Russia, and Britain, in France and
China" to join with other peace
loving nations to take the course
of current history into their own
hands and mould it in a new direc-
tion-the direction of continued CO.
operation"
1T was a common danger which
united Us before victory Let 1t be
common hope which continues to
draw us together in the years to
come" he said.
Mr.. Truman asserted that the
differences" between nations to-
day "are not hopeless or irrecon-
cilable," but he stressed that to
work them out will require a COM
bination of forebearance, and firm
ness" and willingness to find some
common ground on which to meet.
Praises Roosevelt in Talk.
Before the President addressed the
Central Park throng he had spoken
briefly at the commissioning of the
aircraft carrier Franklin D. Roose-
welt at the navy yard in Brooklyn
and headed a motorcade through
Brooklyn and Manhattan, where he
was making his first appearance
since entering the White House.
In his brief speech at the navy
yard Mr.. Truman paid tribute to
the man whom he succeeded in the
White House, saying that 'if any
one can be called the father of the
new American Navy, which is typi-
fled by this magnificent vessel it
Is Mr.. Roosevelt.
The President said Mr.. Roosevelt
gave his life" in seeking to obtain
the goals of abundance at home and
peace in the world and that now
the American people are determined
to carry on after him"
Mr.. Truman described the new
carrier as "a symbol of our commit
ments to the United Nations organ
1zatlon to reach out anywhere in the
world and to help the peace loving
nations of the world to stop any in
ternational gangster."
Outlines Foreign Policy.
The Presidents admonition on
the need for continued Allied CO.
operation high-Hghted the Central
Park speech in which he outlined at
some length the basic principles of
American foreign policy, which he
summed up as "a policy of friendly
partnership with all peaceful ma
tlons, and of full support for the
United Nations organizations"
In reasserting the Governments
intention not to disclose the atomic
bomb secret, the President declared: !:
I'm our possession of this new
weapon, as in our possession of other
new weapons, there is no threat to
any nation. The world, which has
seen the United States in two great
recent wars, knows that full well.
The possession in our hands of this
new power of destruction, we re-
gard as sacred trust. Because of
our love of peace, the thoughtful
people Of the world know that trust
will not be violated, that it will be
faithfully executed"
At the outset, President Truman
reiterated the determination of this
Government to maintain powerful
military force-not for conquest, but
for peace.
I'VE seek to use our military
strength solely to preserve the peace
of the world he declared. For we
know that is the only sure way to
make our freedom secure"
This, then, he continued, Is the
cornerstone of American foreign
policy.
The foreign policy of the United
States is based firmly on fun
damental principles of Righteousness
and justice" he amplified I'm
carrying out those principles, we
shall firmly adhere to what we
believe to be right, and we shall not
