OCR Page 1 of 16SPEECH OF HONORABLE HARRY S. TRUMAN
Democratic Candidate for Vice-President
Never before in the history of our country have we so fully
mobilized our tremendous productive resources as during the past
four years. With speed, efficiency, and daring, we have applied
all of our manpower and skills, all of our natural resources and
existing and new machinery and equipment to the production of
munitions of war. What we have done wi 11 be recorded in history
as a glorious achievement. It is evidence of the strength of a
free America and it is conclusive proof that we need never again
think in terms of an economy of scarcity.
The productive capacity of these United States is certainly
adequate to provide a decent standard of living for all of our
people. No longer must, nor can we, justify poverty and slums. No
longer can we resign ourselves to any substantial portion of our
people being wi thout adequate housing or sufficient clothing, food,
medical care, recreation and all of the other things which give
comfort and enjoyment to life. We have the means to erase
NARA
and to insure decent standards of living for every American.
