Overxposed Truman Speech
Overxposed Truman Speech Overexposed MS President Harry S. Truman delivering national address regarding inflation & vetoed Congressional price control bill: "I wanted to sign a price control bill. I gave this bill long & careful study. I came ot the conclusion that the bill the Congress sent to me was no price control bill at all. It gave you no protection against higher & higher price. Therefore, I call upon every businessman, every producer, & every landlord to adhere to existing regulations even though they may not have the effective law. It would be contrary to their own interests to embark upon a reckless plan of inflation. It is to their own interest to exercise self-restraint until some action can be obtained from the Congress. And finally, my fellow citizens, I say to you, that we as a nation have within our hands to make this post-war period an era of the greatest opportunity & prosperity in our nation's history. But if shortsightedness & impatience, if partisanship & greed, are allowed to triumph over efforts to maintain economic stability this grand opportunity will have been sacrificed. That must not happen."
