American commander in the Far
East will confer both before and
after luncheon. They will depart
after issuing a communique.
Pausing yesterday at Hickam
Field, Mr.. Truman told a luncheon
group of ocffiers and others:
IT aim not one of those who
thinks that another war is in
evitable. I am just as sure as I
stand here that the people behind
the iron curtain are just as anx-
ious for peace as am.
II am just as sure as I stand
here that if the truth be gotten to
these people there would be peace
in the world, and we are going to
get the truth to those people, and
we won't have to do it with guns,
I am sure"
Basis for Speeches Indicated.
Mr.. Truman at the same time
gave an idea of how he proposes
to use the Macarthur conference
as the basis for important foreign
policy talks in San Francisco
Tuesday night and before the
United Nations General Assembly
in New York, October "a.
He said that at San Francisco
he will tell the world what our
policy is as it affects the world
and world peace"
And before the U. N, he will
''try to drive the matter home in
such a way that we may begin to
arrive at a situation where we can
have world peace and not world
war. That is my sole ambition"
Mr.. Truman hopes to dramatic
by rehabilitation and reconstruc-
ton of Korea and by refusing
United States military installa-
tions there that Russia's charges
of American aggression" cannot
be subStantiated.
At some points his remarks ap-
peared to be directed at opponents
in Congress, who, he has said,
he fears may block increased
spending for defense once peace
has been restored in Korea.
Peace, he said, cannot be main
tanned with sticks and stones"
adding that he hoped II can
drive this message home to the
Congress and the people in the
United States" 3D.
Indo- China May Be Discussed.
He likely will talk with Gen.
Macarthur too about the new
danger spot in Indo- China and a
wide range of other critical prob
lens in the Far East.
Gen. Macarthur himself chose
Wake Island as the site for the
conference after Mr.. Truman,
who initiated it, suggested either
Honolulu or Wake.
Presidential Secretary Charles
G. Ross said the general preferred
Wake because it was closer to his
operations headquarters and
would take less of his time away
from his post.
After day of activity at Homo
lulu, the President went into a.
long conference with his top mill
tary and official advisers last night
on the conference agenda.
He had seen virtually all the
military installations there and
was tired like any other tourist
when he got back to his quarters
at the home of Admiral Radford.
So he took a hot bath and a
brief nap before dinner
He'll be back in Honolulu to
spend his second Sunday Ha-
waiian time) in two days. He
plans another tour, a dip in the
Pacific and work on his San Fran
cisco speech. He takes off from
Hickam Monday for San Fran
cisco.
The general looked confident
and vigorous as he affably said
good-by to key assistants in Tokyo.
He wore his campaign uniform
the faded braid cap. a suntan uni
form without decorations and a
somewhat worn leather jacket
with one word of Identification
over the left jacket. 1t said
Macarthur.
Fresh oranges, a sort of Mac
Arthur trade mark; milk, cola and
beer were loaded on the Constella-
ton transport.
A commercial airliner yesterday
took a case of bonded bourbon,
fresh flowers, fresh apples and
additional food from Tokyo to
Wake Island.
