Archivists today announced the discovery of a diary kept in 1947 by President Harry S. Truman that details his willingness to yield the 1948 Democratic presidential nomination to then-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower if Gen. Douglas MacArthur sought the Republican nomination.
On July 25, 1947, Truman and Eisenhower had a conversation about MacArthur's prospects:
"Ike & I think MacArthur expects to make a Roman Triumphal return to the U.S. a short time before the Republican Convention meets in Philadelphia. I told Ike that if he did that that he (Ike) should announce for the nomination for President on the Democratic ticket and that I'd be glad to be in second place, or Vice President. I like the Senate anyway. Ike & I could be elected and my family & myself would be happy outside this great white jail, known as the White House.
"Ike won't quot [sic] me & I won't quote him."
The entry came years before Truman's famous firing of MacArthur during the Korean war.
Truman handwrote 42 entries in the diary book, which bears the title 1947 Diary and Manual of The Real Estate Board of New York, Inc. and includes 160 pages of advertisements and information about the board. A librarian at the Truman Library in Independence, Mo., happened upon the book, which stood for almost 40 years on a shelf with a number of blank journals.
Other notable passages describe the resignation of James F. Byrnes as secretary of state and the appointment of George Marshall to succeed him; the death of Truman's mother; and a number of anti-Semitic observations about the Jews displaced during World War II.
In a loose-leaf entry dated July 21, Truman wrote:
"The Jews, I find are very, very selfish. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as D[isplaced] P[ersons] as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the under dog. Put an underdog on top and it makes no difference whether his name is Russian, Jewish, Negro, Management, Labor, Mormon, Baptist he goes haywire. I've found very, very few who remember their past condition when prosperity comes."
