Affirmative and Creative
Foreign Policy Developed

The foreign policy we have de-
veloped in these last seven years
is not a negative one. 1t is not
simply a design to resist Com
munism. It is much more. It
is a program of going forward,
overcoming want and poverty.
and enlarging freedom. Behind
the shield of defensive alliances
and military strength, it is our
purpose to help people to i'm
prove their conditions Of life-to
create q world in which democ-
racy and freedom can flourish.
This is a part of our total policy
which is uppermost in my con-
Germ. 1t is affirmative. creative
and constructive.
Through the point-four pro-
gram. through measures Of eco
nomic development. we are
moving to bring modern tech
biological progress into the reach
of other peoples, so that they
can help themselves to raise
their standard of living.
This kind Of activity comes
naturally to us. It Is close to the
helping-hand tradition of the
American frontier. But today
1t has a new significance. For
the majority of the people Of the
world live in what are called
''underdeveloped areas" These
people are determined to con-
quer poverty and disease and
misery. We can show them how
to do it. With patience and
understanding, we can help
them adapt the methods of
modern science to their own
needs.
Our programs of technical
corporations, our information
programs, our exchanges of
books and people. all are in
tended to broaden the horizons
of freedom and progress in the
world. Furthermore, they are a
vital weapon against Communist
imperialism. They show that the
genuine road to progress is the
way Of freedom. They show that
the deeds Of free men are better
than the false promises Of Com
munism.
In carrying out all these steps
I have been describing we have
experienced both successes and
failures. In this great world
struggle there have been some
burdens we could not undertake
because our resources were not
unlimited.
China was one of those. With
all our material help, and it was
very large, the Government of
China was not able to save it.

ance. I believe they will say that
never in history did q great ma
ton respond so effectively and
promptly to new and unaccus-
toned problems as did this Ma
ton in the past seven years: and
never was a greater or more en-
lightened effort expended for a
nobler purpose-the aim of
world peace.
One OF our greatest dangers
today Is the danger of impa-
thence. It is the danger that
we will sell ourselves short
that we will underrate our own
accomplishments. It is the dam
ger that we will break away
from the best path. just because
1t is long and stony and because
there are times when we cannot
see over the top of the hill. It
Is the danger that we will take
hasty or cratic action, and
thereby sacrifice the very real
and impressive achievements al
ready in our hands.
What we need in this coming
period is faith in ourselves,
courage to do the difficult and
distasteful things. consideration
and forbearance for cur allies,
without whose confidence and
help our purpose will not be ac-
complished.
To guide us on this path will
soon be the responsibility Of
new people. No statesmen have
ever had a heavier responsible
ity than these men will have.
Let us see that they are given
the type of support they need to
do their work. Let us tell them
frankly when we think they are
wrong. But let us support
them Fundamentally when they
are right. Let us work with
them for peace and freedom in
the world, and for progress and
security for our country.
If we do these things, am
sure we can continue to move
forward, with Gods help, to a
better and safer world.

Text of Trumons Address Defending Foreign Policies

Here is the teri OF President
Truman's address today at the
National War College:
You men are engaged in one
Of the most important studies
that Americans can engage in
today. You are studying our
national policy in its broadcast
sense. Our national policy is
not simply our foreign policy or
our military policy or our do
nestle policy. It is a combina-
ton of all three. The internal
domestic policies which a ma
ton follows are the foundations
of its foreign policy and it's
military policy. What we can
do and ought to do abroad de-
ponds upon the kind of nation
we are at home.
We are, above all else, q
peaceful nation, and what we
want most in the world is peace,
a just and lasting peace, that
will release the constructive and
creative energies of mankind.
and increase the happiness Of
men and women everywhere.
Our national policy. the policy
you are studying, in all its
aspects. is simply a policy de-
signed to reach that objective.
It is a policy for peace.
You who are privileged to
study here have an opportunity
that is available nowhere else
in our country. You are given
facts that cannot be generally
publicized. You can look at the
problems confronting the United
States in the world today
clearly. steadily and as a whole.
I am sure you appreciate this
opportunity and understand
how important this background
will be in the positions of high
responsibility you will occupy
when you leave here.

Pointed Out Need of
Strong Armed Forces

A little more than seven years
ago. in a speech which I made
in New York on October q,
1945. I pointed out that we
needed to continue to have
strong armed forces, and a uni
verSal training program. said
that we needed these things in
order to enforce the terms of the
peace, to fulfill the military
obligations which we were un-
dertaking as a member Of the
United Nations, and to protect
the United States and the West
ern Hemisphere.
To many people these state
mentS sounded like strange talk
in 1945. In those days few of
us realized that we would need
strong defenses and trained
manpower. Some people still
don't see why we have to have
universal military training.
But the. intervening years
have proved that this was the
right position to take in 1945.
A new danger was then Begin
ming to appear-a danger which
has since become quite familiar.
That was the refusal of one of
our former Allies to cooperate
In the efforts of the free ma
lions to build a peaceful world.
That nation-that former ally
set out to expand it's own power
by taking advantage of the
WEAKNESS and yearning for
peace that were prevalent
throughout the world in the
chaotic aftermath of the war.
This threat was global. It was
sustained and persistent. It in
cluded political subversion, eco
monte strategems, and military
and diplomatic pressure. It was
aimed at all free nations,
wherever weakness might ap-
pear, and most particularly at
the nations in Europe and Asia
bordering on the territory
dominated by the Soviet Union.
To meet this threat, we had
to devise new plans and pro-
grams.
We had to develop measures
that were new, that went beyond
many Of our traditions and ex-
periences. I think that we have
met this problem, and on the
whole we have met it success
fully. The American people did
develop new measures to meet
this postwar threat to freedom.
These measures have by now be-
come so familiar to us that
many of us tend to forget what
they are designed to do.

munist domination, to demoral-
lie the resistance of the free ma
tions to Communism, and to pre-
pare the way for attacks else
where. And the Communists
have failed to achieve this end.
But our aim. which was to repel
the attack, to support the Char
ter of the United Nations, and
to prevent the piecemeal con-
quest Of other free nations
this aim has been achieved.
This conflict has taken tragic
sacrifices. It has caused impa-
thence. and disagreements among
us. But in spite Of this, we
have stood firm.
BY every possible means we
have been trying to restore
peace and security in Korea.
The Communists have refused
the opportunity we offered for
an honorable end to the fighting.
The result u a terrible and a
serious problem. But while we
deal with this problem. let us
not lose sight of how much we
have already accomplished by
fighting in Korea.
If the attack had been allowed
to succeed, the United Nations
would have been shattered, and
all our hopes of building up a
collective security system for
the free nations would have been
destroyed. If we had failed to
meet the test there. the free
world today might well be in
retreat before Communism on q
dozen other fronts.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The news
that her son had won in the 40
