SPEECH DELIVERED BY SENATOR HARRY S. TRUMAN TO THE
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT WOMEN'S CLUB OF SPRINGFIELD AT NOON,
AND
RECORDS
APRIL 12, 1938
:
SERVICE"
Ladies of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Women's Club of Springfield and all
other good people who are here:-
It is a very great pleasure to be with you today. I have a very kindly
feeling for this section of Missouri, probably because I am more familiar with
it than with other parts of the State. I've always come to this part of the
State for vacations, for rest and recreation and also because I have so many
good friends in Springfield and adjoining counties. I came to this part of the
State very soon after I had been nominated for the Senate and while you seemed
to prefer that very able and genial Congressman from St. Louis, John J. Cochran,
you treated me just as cordially as if I had been your choice in the primary.
I am very sure you would have given your native son a Republican ajority over
Mr. Cochran just about as large as you did over me. I have tried always to
be a public servant after election and there are never any political scars on
me.
I am also very fond of your able and distinguished Congressman, the
Honorable
Rüben
T.
Wood. He has been a consistent Administration supporter and
has very capably represented the great Sixth District of Missouri in the House
of Representatives at Washington.

I believe that the good women of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Club are very
much interested in peace abroad and safety and security at home. It is a set
policy of these United States to stay out of foreign entanglements and I am
very happy that is the policy under present conditions abroad. That policy
was inaugurated with Washington, continued under Jefferson and is our policy
to this day.
