Council last night.
| “Tg-e main puropse of this meet

Isolationists,

WASHINGTON, (IP)
President Truman, pleading
that world problems be left
out cf politics, said today
that “the old isolationists
have grown bolder” in what
he called a growing attempt
to undermine the United
Nations.
Addressing a delegation of the
National Citizen:* Committee for
United Nations Day in the White
House garden. Mr. Truman said:
“We must withstand the efforts
of those who would play politics
with security and the welfare of
' our nation and the freedom of our
, allies.
“The world problems we face are
not ordinary ones. They are not
—and must not become—questions
of party politics. They involve not
only the fate of our own nation
but the future hopes and aspir
ations of mankind.
Hitting at isolationism, Mr. Tru
man said that despite the great
achievements of the United Na
tions and the hope that it holds
for all mankind. “We face ...
a growing attempt to undermine
it.
GROWING BOLDER
“Since Senator Arthur H. Van
denburg (R-Mich.) died,” he said,
“the old isolationists have grown
bolder.”
He said they “are urging us to
abandon our allies, to pull out of
Europe and out of Korea, to slash
our mutual security program, and
to turn back in our onward march
toward peace.”
he President did .7,-t ! Ser*
“the*old isolationists.” but he saiu
their attack on the United Nations .
“offers us no plan for the future j
and no hope for eventual success.” i
“These enemies of the U. N.,’’ he
said, “tell us one day to pull out
of Korea—and on the next day they |
tell us to extend the conflict even j
| further.”
He accused the “isolationists” of
proposing that defense spending be |
reduced "and - *•— •

risk of total war.”
He said they “lament the loss |
of millions of people to Communist |
enslavement” and yet recommend
“that we should cut off aid to those j
who are still free.”- I

said if the people in Washington
could see the Charlotte crowd they
would realize that someone had
wiped out the debt.
