Hardcover and leatherbound copy of Truman’s Address at the Conference on the Japanese Peace Treaty, which he gave on September 4, 1951. Hardcover, 6.5 x 9.5, 12 pages. Sixty copies of this speech were made in this fashion, with this copy being #6, and some were given as Christmas gifts in 1951. Signed and inscribed as president in black ink on the first free end page, “To Hon. John W. Snyder, with every good wish for a happy Christmas, Harry S. Truman, Dec 25, 1951.”
Truman’s ratification of the Japanese Peace Treaty in San Francisco concluded what the president called, “a bitter and costly war.” That historic event was commemorated via this publication, with this exact item given by Truman to Snyder, a longtime friend of who had served with the president during World War I and who was appointed U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in 1946. In that position, Snyder was responsible for establishing a stable economy in the mid-1940s. A desirable World War II-related short-run book presented to one of the post-war architects.
