“SLAVERY WORSE THAN WAR”
Speech by President Truman WASHINGTON, March 29. The United States would talk peace with any country, but it would not see the liberties of any countries debauched, said President Truman to-night. Mr Truman, who was addressing a large audience of Greek Americans celebrating the one hundred and twenty-seventh anniversary of Greek independence, continued: “This country does not want and has never wanted war, but there are several things worse than war, including slavery. We were faced with slavery in 1940 and 1941. We are faced with almost exactly the same situation to-day.”
