We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

M ost of us have concluded from the events of 1945 that it is imperative that foreign hates and suspicions must be supplanted by trust and understanding if life in the future is to be worth living. Television holds the promise of being the medium that can bring the peoples of far places emotionally face to face with one another’s manners, customs and problems and thus make them understand that they are all essentially human. The first realization of this design depends on the establishment of national networks to gather the peaceful spirit of America and international net¬ works to send it world-wide. Probably no one can at present accurately predict the ultimate physical means of accomplishing these national and international objectives and bringing to realization television’s “one world” possibilities. Any facilities which may be developed and any technique which showmen may know must be available to our statesmen, churchmen and educators to carry that message to the world. ^Jc/c via ion C/> reduction/) Jnc. 2
