EISENHOWER PLEADS FOR OVERSEAS NET TO AID VOICE OF AMERICA
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, wartime commander of Allied Forces in Europe, speaking from Denver last Monday, Sept. 4, on a nation¬ wide broadcast launching the Crusade for Freedom, asked Americans to contribute funds (anything from $1 up) for a network of European radio stations to counteract Russian propaganda, the network to supplement the “Voice of America".
General Eisenhower said:
“We need powerful radio stations abroad, operated with¬ out Government restrictions, to tell in vivid and convincing form about the decency and essential fairness of democracy. These sta¬ tions must tell of our aspirations for peace, our hatred of war, our support of the United Nations, and our constant readiness to cooperate with any and all who have these same desires.
"Only then can we counteract the Communist deceits that are being spread with every weather, crop and news report.
“One such private station Radio Free Europe is now in operation in Western Germany. It daily brings a message of hope and encouragement to a small part of the masses of Europe.
“The Crusade for Freedom will provide for the expansion of Radio Free Europe into a network of stations. They will be giv¬ en the simplest, clearest charter in the world: “Tell the truth."
For it is certain that all the surface-bright, but core-rotten, promises of Communism to the needy, the unhappy, the frustrated, the down-trodden, cannot stand against the proven record of demo¬ cracy and its day-by-day progress in the betterment of all mankind. The tones of the Freedom Bell, symbol of the crusade, will echo through vast areas now under blackout."
