MS Truman seated at desk holding speech for radio broadcast 10pm 03Jan46. SOF: “1946 is our Year of Decision. This year we lay the foundation of our economic structure which will have to serve for generations. This year we must decide whether or not we shall devote our strength to reaching the goal of full production & full employment. This year we will have to make the decisions which will determine whether or not we gain that great future at home & abroad which we fought so valiantly to achieve. CU There are voices of defeat, dismay, timidity among us. These I challenge. They do not speak in the tradition that made this country great & kept it free. They will not guide us to success, these men of little faith. We can not shirk leadership in the post-war world. The problems of economy will not be solved by timid men mistrustful of each other. We cannot face 1946 in a spirit of drift & irresolution. The men & women who made this country great & kept it free were plain people, w/ courage & faith. Let us justify this heritage.” Presidential Address; New Year’s Announcement; Radio Message; Post-WW2; Economic Aid; Anti-Communism; Propaganda; Anniversaries; Jewish Refugees; Celebration; NOTE: This is a portion of the radio address.
