Truman Utters A Sombre Warning
Kansas City, Mo., June 7.
President Truman warned Americans In a specch here tonight that the disintegration of the United States military forces since the surren- der of Germany and Japan was an "encourage- ment to nations to regard weakness on the part of peace loving nations as an invitation' to aggression."
"If this happens," he said, addressing a reunion of
the regiment in which he served in the first World War, "the countries whose peoples share our ideals and who look to us for leader- ship but who are weak in resources or man- power will lose faith in our ability to support the principles for which we stand."
