Harry S. Truman speaking, "The real threat to our security isn't the danger of bankruptcy, it is the danger of Communist aggression. If Communism is allowed to absorb the free nations, one by one, then we would be isolated from our sources of supply and detached from our friends. Then we would have to take defense measures that might really bankrupt our economy and change our way of life so that we couldn t recognize it as American any longer. That s the very thing we are trying to keep from happening.

June 10, 1950 Address in St. Louis at the Site of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. President Harry Truman speaking In the five years of the past, since the end of the war, we have been confronted with a new, powerful imperialism. We had hoped that our wartime ally, the Soviet Union, would join in the efforts of the whole community of nations to build a peaceful world. Instead, the Soviet leaders have been an obstacle to peace. By means of infiltration, subversion, propaganda, and indirect aggression the rulers of the Soviet Union have sought to extend the boundaries of their totalitarian control. With a cynical disregard for the hopes of mankind, the leaders of the Soviet Union have talked democracy and have set up dictatorships. They have proclaimed national independence but imposed national slavery. They have preached peace but devoted their energies to fomenting aggression and preparing for war.
