PRESIDENT TRUMAN QUOTES CONFIDENT MACARTHUR MESSAGE
WASHINGTON, July 19 (Recd. 68 p.m.)—Speaking to the American people over the radio and television networks, President Truman quoted a personal report which he had received from General MacArthur a few hours previously in which General MacArthur said:
“The issue of the battle is now fully joined and will proceed along lines of action in which we will not be without choice. Our hold upon the southern part of Korea represents a secure base and our strength will continually increase, while that of the enemy will relatively decrease. His supply line is insecure. He has had his groat chance but failed to exploit it. We are now in Korea in force and with God's help we are there to stay until the constitutional authority of the Republic is fully restored.”
