SV Elizabeth at mike "I know it is never possible to understand country as great as this by visiting only it's Capitol, even such a splendid one as Washington. So much of the history of the United States has been enacted here and so many memorials of you national achievements stand here, that I hope before I leave to see a little deeper into the sources of your great strength. Free men everywhere look towards the United States with affection and with hope. The message which has gone out from this great capital City has brought help and courage to a troubled World. In that other proud capital where I live and in Canada from where I have just come we also are determined to work with all our strength for freedom and for peace.' Applause. SV Truman replies 'I was most happy to hear that the King had recovered so promptly so that you could make this trip. I remember with a great deal of pleasure being presented to the King and Queen when I was a United States Senator. It happened to be my privilege to be presented to him, when they held a reception at the British Embassy here. I also had another very pleasant visit to the King on the "Renown" in Plymouth Harbour when I was on the way home from Potsdam. He had me on the "Renown" for luncheon, then he returned to call to the "Argosta?" and we had a most pleasant conversation on world affairs that affected Great Britain and the United States."
