LAD #36: Truman Doctrine

Summary:
He began to say that the government does not want to leave the Greek government alone. The country was not rich and was completely destroyed when liberated from German control. They were let without funds and the government has asked for assistance before they are taken over by Communists. Since the United States does not want this they want to supply that assitance. No other nation has the kind of money the United States has and Britain who had been helpign them was running out. The United Nations were not in the position to help. No government is perfect and the Greek government had been running in chaos. Turkey also needs the United States attention. It is just as important as Greece and has asked for our help which Britian cannot give. It is important to perserve order in the Middle East. One problem is that we need to dicuss this with the United Nations and the poeple of these countries don't want anymore government involvement. We need to give them money or the alternative is much more detramental to the United States on the whole.
