MR TRUMAN ON U.S. DEFENCE
MESSAGE TO LEGION CONVENTION
“WAR REMAINS DREAD POSSIBILITY ” (Rec. 9 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. President Truman, in a message to* the American Legion convention in New York to-day, said: “We must be so strong that no aggressor, however rash, can persuade himself that we are open to conquest. “Against the possibility of total war we must have the certainty of total defence, using every resource of our being in the effort. Only universal training can assure that sufficient forces will be available in the critical phase of another emergency.” Mr Truman added that war remained “a dread possibility.”
