Harry S. Truman: Inaugural Address

( 1949 ) Commentary by Tom Lansford, University of Southern Mississippi

“The peoples of the earth face the future with grave uncertainty, composed almost equally of great hopes and great fears. In this time of doubt, they look to the United States as never before for good will, strength, and wise leadership.” - Inaugural Address
“Communism holds that the world is so deeply divided into opposing classes that war is inevitable. Democracy holds that free nations can settle differences justly and maintain lasting peace.” - Inaugural Address
