harry s. truman: "the truman doctrine"
mr. president, mr. speaker, members of the congress of the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />united states:
the gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the congress. the foreign policy and the national security of this country are involved. one aspect of the present situation, which i present to you at this time for your consideration and decision, concerns greece and turkey. the united states has received from the greek government an urgent appeal for financial and economic assistance. preliminary reports from the american economic mission now in greece and reports from the american ambassador in greece corroborate the statement of the greek government that assistance is imperative if greece is to survive as a free nation.
i do not believe that the american people and the congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the greek government. greece is not a rich country. lack of sufficient natural resources has always forced the greek people to work hard to make both ends meet. since 1940, this industrious, peace loving country has suffered invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal strife.
when forces of liberation entered greece they found that the retreating germans had destroyed virtually all the railways, roads, port facilities, communications, and merchant marine. more than a thousand villages had been burned. eighty-five per cent of the children were tubercular. livestock, poultry, and draft animals had almost disappeared. inflation had wiped out practically all savings. as a result of these tragic conditions, a militant minority, exploiting human want and misery, was able to create political chaos which, until now, has made economic recovery impossible.
greece is today without funds to finance the importation of those goods which are essential to bare subsistence. under these circumstances, the people of greece cannot make progress in solving their problems of reconstruction. greece is in desperate need of financial and economic assistance to enable it to resume purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and seeds. these are indispensable for the subsistence of its people and are obtainable only from abroad. greece must have help to import the goods necessary to restore internal order and security, so essential for economic and political recovery. the greek government has also asked for the assistance of experienced american administrators, economists, and technicians to insure that the financial and other aid given to greece shall be used effectively in creating a stable and self-sustaining economy and in improving its public administration.
the very existence of the greek state is today threatened by the terrorist activities of sever ……此处隐藏1045个字……edoms
in the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
the first is freedom of speech and expression everywhere in the world.
the second is freedom of every person to worship(崇拜) god in his own way everywhere in the world.
the third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime (平时)life for its inhabitants everywhere in the world.
the fourth is freedom from fear--which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduction of armaments(军备) to such a point and in such a thorough (彻底)fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor--anywhere in the world.
that is no vision of a distant thorough. it is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable (实现)in our own time and our generation. that kind of world is the very antithesis(对立) of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators (独裁者)seek to create with the crash of a bomb.(炸弹爆炸)
to that new order we oppose the greater conception--the moral(道德) order. a good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.
since the beginning of our american history, we have been engaged in danger--in a perpetual(永久的) peaceful revolution--a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions--without the concentration camp (露营)or the quicklime in the ditch.(沟) the world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
this nation has placed its destiny (命运)in the hands and hearts of its millions of free men and women, and its faith in freedom under the guidance of god. freedom means the supremacy(霸权) of human rights everywhere. our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. our strength is in our unity (统一)of purpose. to that high concept there can be no end save victory.
