Text Truman Address on Conference With Macarthur at Wake Island

that it acknowledges no barriers Of
race, OF nation, or creed. We know
that it means progress for all men.
The international Communist
movement, far from being revo'u-
tionary, is the most reactionary
movement in the world today. 1t Is
violently opposed to the freedom Of
the individual, because in that Com
munist system the state is supreme.
1t is equally opposed to the fee
dom of other nations, because in
that Communist system 1t is Soviet
Russia which must be supreme.
When Gen. Macarthur and I
discussed the whole problem of
peace in the Far East, we recog-
nized that this is far more than a
military problem.
Today, the peoples of the Far
East, as well as peoples in other
parts of the world, are struggling
with the false revolution of COM
munism. Soviet communism makes
the false claim to these peoples
that it stands for progress and
human achievement. Actually, it
seeks to turn them into the colonial
slaves of a new imperialism. In this
time of crisis, we ask the peoples
of the Far East to understand us
as we try to understand them. We
are not trying to push blueprints
upon them as ready-made answers
for all their complicated problems.
Every people must develop according
to its own particular genius and
must express its own moral and
cultural values in its own way.
Have Much in Common with Asia.
We believe that we have much
in common with the peoples of the
Far East. Their older civilizations
have much to teach us. We hope our
new developments may be helpful
to them.
We know that the peoples of
Asia cherish their freedom and in
dependence. We sympathize with
that desire and will help them to at
tain and defend their independence.
Our entire history proclaims our
policy on that point. Our men are
fighting now in Asia to help secure
the freedom and independence of a
small nation which was brutally
attacked.
We know that the peoples of Asia
have problems of social injustice
to solve. They want their farmers
to own their own land and to enjoy
the fruits of their own toll. This
is one of our great national prin-
ciples also. We believe in the family
size farm. That is the basis of our
agriculture and has strongly in
f1uenced our form of government.
| We know that the peoples of Asia
want their industrial workers to
have their full measure of freedom
and rising standards of living. So
do we. That is the basis of our in
dustrial society in this country.
/ We know that the peoples of Asia
have problems of production; they
need to produce more food and
clothing and shelter. It is in this
field that we can make a special
contribution by sharing with others
the productive techniques which we
have discovered in our own expert
ence.

word peace. So long as they persist
in maintaining these forces and in
using them to intimidate other
countries, the free men of the world
have but one choice If they are to
remain free. They must oppose
strength with strength.
Task for All Free Nations.
This is not a task for the United
States alone. 1t is a task for the
free nations to undertake together.
And the free nations are undertak-
ing it together.
In the United Nations, Secretary
of State Acheson has proposed a
plan for uniting for peace" to
make 1t possible for the General
Assembly to act quickly and effec-
lively in case of any further out
break of aggression.
In our own country, and in CO.
operation with other countries, we
are continuing to build armed forces
strong enough to make it clear that
aggression will not pay.
Our military establishment moved
the necessary men and supplies into
Korea. 5000 miles away, in an
amazingly brief period of time This
remarkable accomplishment should
not delude us into any false sense
of security. We must be better
armed and equipped than we are
today if we are to be protected from
the dangers which still face us.
We must continue to increase our
production for military purposes.
We must continue to increase the
strength of our armed forces-Army,
Navy, and Air Force. We must de-
vote more of our resources to mill
tary purposes, and less to civilian
consumption.
All this will be difficult, and 1t
will exact many sacrifices. But we

missionaries, doctors, teachers, trad
ers and businessmen have knit
many ties of friendship between us
If we can be of help, we are ready
to offer it-but only to those who
want it. Through the Economic Co.
operation Administration, Point
Four, and in many other ways we
are trying to help the peoples OF
other countries to improve Their
living standards. We will continue
these programs in cooperation with
the United Nations. Even as we
undertake the necessary burdens OF
defense against aggression, we will
help to expand the work of aiding
human progress. Otherwise, meas
ures of defense alone will have little
value.
We seek full partnership with the
peoples of Asia, as with all other
peoples, in the defense and support
of the ideals which we and they
have written into the Charter of the
United Nations. This is the part
nership of peace.
I have spoken to you tonight
about some of the things which all
of us are thinking about as we press
ahead to finish our job in Korea.
At time when our forces under
Gen. Macarthur are locked in COM
bat with a stubborn enemy, it is
essential for us to understand what
our broad purposes are and see
clearly the kind of world we seek
to build. AS your President, I realize
what it means to the homes of
America to have the youth of our
land called to meet aggression
These are the most solemn decisions
and impose the heaviest respon-
sibility upon those who must make
them. I have told you tonight why
we must do what we are doing. We
hate war, but we love our liberties
We will not see them destroyed
We want peace but it must be, a
peace founded upon justice That
American policy is as old as our
republic, and it is stronger today
than ever before in our history. We
intend to keep it that way.

are aware OF the dangers we face
We are going to be prepared tx
meet them. Let no aggressor make
any mistake about that. We value
our independence and our free way
of life in this country and we will
give all that we have to preserve
them. We are going ahead in deac
earnest to build up our defenses
There will be no let-down because
of the successes achieved in Korea
Must Prove Desire for Peace.
AS we go forward, let us re-
member that we are not increasing
our armed strength because we want
to. We are increasing our armed
strength because Soviet policies
leave us no other choice. The Soviet
Union can change this situation. It
has only to give concrete and posi-
tive proof of its intention to work
for peace. If the Soviet Union really
wants peace, it must prove it-not
by glittering promises and false
propaganda, but by living up to the
principles of the United Nations
Charter.
If the Soviet Union really wants
peace, it can prove it-and could
have proved it on any day since
last June 25-by joining the rest
of the United Nations in calling or
the North Koreans to lay down then
arms at once.
If the Soviet Union really wants
peace, it can prove 1t by lifting the
Iron Curtain and permitting the
free exchange of information and
ideas. If the Soviet Union really
wants peace, 1t can prove it by
joining in the efforts of the United
Nations to establish a workable sys-
tenn of collective security-a system
which will permit the elimination OF
the atomic bomb and the drastic
reduction and regulation OF all other
arms and armed forces.
But until the Soviet Union does
these things, until it gives real
proof of peaceful intentions, we are
determined to build up the common
defensive strength of the free world
This is the choice we have made
We have made it firmly and reso-
lutely. But it is not choice we
have made gladly. We are not a
militaristic nation. We have no de-
sire for conquest or military glory
| Freedom Means Strength.
Our national history began with
a revolutionary idea-the idea o1
human freedom and political equal
ity. We have been guided by the
! light of that idea down to this day
The forces of Communist imperial
ism dread this revolutionary idea
because it produces an lntolerable
contrast to their own system They
know that our strength comes from,
the freedom and the Well-being OF
our citizens We are strong because
We never stop working for better
education for all our people, for
fair wages and better living condi-
tionS, for more opportunities fol-
business and better lives for our
farmers. We are strong because OF
our social security system, because
of our labor unions, because of our
agricultural program. We are strong
because we use our democratic in
stiutions continually to achieve a
better life for all the people of our
country.
This is the source Of our strength
And this idea-this endlessly revolu-
tionary idea of human freedom and
political equality-is what we held
out TO all nations as the answer tc
the tyranny of international COM
munism. We have seen this idea
work in OUR own country. We know

In the first place, learn the safest
way to and from school and follow
that route every day When you
are walking, be sure to stop at the
curb, look both ways and for turn

walk-don't run across the street.
Obey traffic officers, school cross
ing guards, school safety patrols
md all traffic signs and signals
along the way. And here's some
more advice from the Council to
protect you during after-school
play hours: Play en- Fairgrounds,
yards or vacant lots-never in the
streets. Roller skate only en- side
walks and never roller skate or
coast from driveways or alleys into
the street. Never try to ''hitchv 4

VOTE IN NOVEMBER

An event of Importance second only to
the war in Korea is soon to take place in
this countryside November general cleo
tions. And if precedent is any portent,
about half the eligible voters will stay home
on election day. If that happens, it will
simply mean that the best organized and
most aggressive minority can impose its will
upon the American people The danger be-
comes greater as the government becomes
larger and more powerful. Regardless of the
party label of the Administration, politi-
clans will try to stay III Office. AS the activi-
ties of government expand the evil of pa
tronage expands in direct proportion. In a
thousand ways pressure is brought to bear
upon larger and larger groups Of voters
job promises, funds for local projects, legis-
lative faVOrS. If Congressman or Senator
resists these abuses of trust as matter of
principle he is hooted down by the "real-
lists" A few months ago that very thing
happened when Senator Paul Douglas flu
tilely offered amendments to cut some of the
wasteful patronage out Of the 81 ,565, 100000
rivers and harbors bill In the words of a
press report, Each amendment was greet
ed with raucous laughtere Each was howled
down, and some of the loudest shouts were
from those Republican and Southern Demo-
Gratis who moan most about economy be-
tween appropriations bills. Only one voice
was raised in support of Douglas-by Demo
cratic Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia
who pointed out that, unless whitfield down,
the rivers and harbOr bills eventually would
cost the nation 30,000,000,O00 :"
1t Is easy to see, in the light of an event
of this nature, why the general elections
this fall are of grave importance. The vested
interest in big government has reached the
point where nothing but record turnout IF
public spirited voters can alter the trend.
There is encouraging evidence thu 4 UNI
precedented effort is being made yet out

are taking part in nation-wi1e .,et-out-the-

Dor and business groups are working to

questioning other businessmen and finding
that over One-third we're not even registered
voters, launched his own get-Out-the-vOte
project. This illustrates curious phenO-
menon that accounts for the long tenure of
so many irresponsible Office holders. Millions
of Americans who bear the major tax bur-
den of supporting government show the least
interest in going to the polls Their default
is the principle reason why an aggressive
minority may decide the fate of the nation
in years to come.

All Of our business activities are

creased factory output, the steel

Time and again the National In
dustries News Service has been
asked to say whether or not there
will be another World War. No
one can give an opinion on that
question. Therefore, when a cool,

are new problems to face. The Uni
ted Nations has become ineffective.

1t cannot be made worse than it

The Duty of the Individual
Facts are not what they used to
be. Thousands of Poor Guesses and
Fair Guesses and very few Sure
Guesses are contradicting one an
other-and the news in the daily
papers is necessarily largely a
question, of guess work. The United
States Government believed that
the United Nations would help es-
tablish World Peace. But see what
happened to prophecies along that
line. The war in Korea may be-
come a big war with Russia and
other Communist Nations.
