President Truman Speech on Atomic Energy
President Truman Speech on Atomic Energy President Harry S. Truman delivers speech regarding atomic energy at rally: "All mankind now stands in the doorway to destruction or upon the threshold upon the greatest age in history & I prefer to face that great age.

MacArthur Asks Nations Renounce War MSs General DOUGLAS MACARTHUR arriving to take the chair of the first meeting of the Allied control council for Japan in Tokyo. MSs Chinese & Soviet delegates. TLS/MSs General Douglas MacArthur speechifying: "I desire especially to mention that provision dealing with the renunciation of war. Such a renunciation, while in some respects a logical sequence to the destruction of Japan's war-making potential, goes yet further in its surrender of the sovereign right of resort to arms in the international sphere. I therefore commend Japan's proposal for the renunciation of war. It points the way. The UNO, admirable in its purpose, great and noble, can only survive to achieve that purpose & those aims if it accomplishes just what Japan proposes unilaterally."
