the fact that each period of the
history of the United States has had
its special challenges and he added:
To-day marks the beginning, not
only Of a new administration, but
Of a period that will be eventful,
perhaps decisive, for us and for the
world"
Contrasts PHILOSOPHERS.
Having stated the desires OF the
American people for world at
peace, the President went directly
to discussion Of Russia and Com
munism.
Contrasting Communism with
democracy, he said that the former
is based on a conviction that man
is so weak he is unable to govern
himself and must rely on the rule
of strong masters. Democracy, on
the other hand, Is based on the
conviction that man has the moral
and intellectual capacity to govern
himself with reason and justice, Mr..
Truman declared.
He listed as other differences that
Communism fails to regard the
rights of the individual, while de-
mocracy upholds them; that Com
munism holds that social wrongs
can be corrected only by violence,
and democracy has shown that
such wrongs can be corrected
through peaceful change; that Com
munism holds the world is so deep
ly divided into opposing classes that
war is inevitable, while democracy
asserts that free nations can settle
differences justly and maintain a
lasting peace.
The President pointed to the
dangers arising from the actions
which have grown out of the Com
munist philosophy. declaring them
a threat to the efforts of the free
nations to bring about world re-
covery and peace.
Cites Duty Of Leadership.
No other President of the United
States, neither woodrow Wilson nor
Franklin D. Roosevelt, went so
far in proclaiming the need and
duty of the United States to exer-
else a leadership for peace and
freedom throughout the world. Mr.,
Truman made it clear America is
seeking no world domination for it
slef.
I'VE have sought no territory, and
we have imposed our will on none,
he declared I'VE have asked no
privileges we would not extend to
Others"
The efforts which this country
has made to bring recovery, the
President asserted, have brought
new hope to all mankind
I'VE have beaten back despair and
defeatism,' he said I'VE have
saved a number of countries from
losing their liberty. Hundreds of
millions of people all over the woJd
now agree with us, that we need
not have war-that we can have
peace"
Discussing the plans for joint de-
fense agreements, particularly in the
North Atlantic area, Mr.. Truman
emphasized that the primary pur-
pose of these agreements "is to pro-
