All for One and One for All {Address over Radio Station WINS, New Yor\, of which 200 transcriptions were ordered by motion picture exhibitors for local radio use during United Nations Wee\, January 14-20, 1943.) The motion picture theatres of this city and of the entire nation have designated the period January 14th to 20th as United Nations Week, in order to focus the attention of our friends and patrons upon the importance of our remaining united — yes, united to win the war, and united to save the peace and to make that peace secure for ourselves and our children. We Americans have learned through the bitter experiences of the past twenty-five years that we cannot "live alone and like it." We know now that we can neither live in peace nor win in a world war without the help of the other fellow. Hence, a good motto for United Nations Week — indeed a perfect motto for the United Nations — is that of Dumas' Three Musketeers — "All for one and one for all!" Since the American motion picture industry has drawn upon the literature and music of all the world and has welcomed to Hollywood great artists from many countries, it can be said truthfully that we do recognize the universality of art, the international impact of modern scientific inventions and the interdependence of all nations and races and creeds of mankind. 28
