Title Pres. Harry Truman gives commencement address at University of California-Berkeley and talks about the USSR
Description SOTs President Harry Truman, in academic regalia, speaks from podium at University of California-Berkeley commencement: "American dollars have been invested generously in the cause of peace because we know what peace is worth. This is a record of action in behalf of peace without parallel in history. The refusal of the Soviet Union to work with its wartime allies for world recovery and world peace is the most bitter disappointment of our time." applause is heard and Truman sips water; "We are not engaged in a struggle with the Soviet Union for any territory of for any economic gain. We have no hostile or aggressive designs against the Soviet Union or any other country. We are not waging a Cold War. The cleavage that exists is not between the Soviet Union and the United States. It is between the Soviet Union and the rest of the world." more applause
