Which is the real Harry Trumanâ€"the man who reads noble sentiments written for him by someone else or the man who makes statements and writes letters that proclaim him to be an intemperate little man? The man who says we must tax till it hurts, or the man who had Congress vote him an extra TAX FREE fifty thousand dollars a year? The man who ys we must face realities, or the man who still inâ€" fis on promising the people something for nothing? Reading from carefully edited and prepared manâ€" uscripts, Harry Truman has on various ocassions voiced noble and inspiring thoughts; speaking "off the cuff," he has called the Marine Corps "the Navy‘s police force," has said he "wouldn‘t hire John L. Lewis as dogcatcher," and â€"has resented a music critic‘s estiâ€" mate of his daughter‘s singing in terms that can‘t be printed for transmission through the mails. Had Harry Truman ardently desired to give his political opponentsâ€"Democratic as well as Republiâ€" canâ€"ammunition to use against him, he could have done no better than he did in his budget message. Harry‘s bitterest enemies could find little to criticize (at this late date) in his call for funds for increased armament, but dragging in his discredited "free" health service program and the repudiated Brannan farm "plan",â€"reâ€"labeling them as "defense measâ€" ures," bespeaks either a gross overestimation of whatâ€" ever blind haste there may be to rearm, or a colossal contempt for the intelligence of Congress and the people of the country in general.
