TRUMAN, HARRY S., President. Typed letter signed as President to Charles H. Silver, Vice President of the American Woolen Co., and a member of the Commission on Internal Security and Individual Rights, the White House, Washington, D.C., 26 October 1951. One page, 4to, on White House stationery, a very good letter, at the height of the McCarthy era: "I am attaching a copy [not present] of a letter I have sent today to Admiral Nimitz, informing him that I have decided with great reluctance to accept the resignations of the members of the Commission on Internal Security and Individual Rights, and not to appoint new members in their stead. The resignation which you submitted to me...is, therefore, accepted as of this date. I wish to express my very deep appreciation for your willingness to serve on the Commiission, and to express my regrets that the work of the Commission cannot go forward as originally planned. However, I am confident that you will continue your own deep interest in the joint issues of the protection of our internal security against subversive activities while at the same time the individual rights of our citizens are fully protected, and that your interest in these matters will continue to be of value and benefit to the Nation."; Typed letter BOLDLY SIGNED as President, to Arthur Tode, President of the Propeller Club of the United States, The White House, Washington, D.C., 7 August l947, page, 4to, on White House stationery, stating that "...the removal of restrictions on international trade is one of the most important steps that any government can take toward promoting good relations among nations through the free and mutually profitable exchange of goods and services. The United States is taking the leadership in this direction in its effort to assist freedom-loving peoples everywhere in making their recovery from the consequences of the recent war. To assert that leadership, and to protect its own interests and support its own economy, the United States should maintain a Merchant Marine adequate to its needs. To that end I have...appointed a committee of citizens to study the present condition of the Merchant Marine and make recommendations....Serious consideration of the future role of American shipping by informed groups will contribute materially...."
