RADIO AND NATIONAL DEFENSE
radio program is no less significant. His support is the very fabric of the American system of broadcasting. His use of broad casting as a sales force has provided the American people with the finet radio programs produced anywhere in the world. His investment of money in radio time has enabled us to give proportionate value to American listeners and to expand and to improve our public service broadcasts.
It is important that no matter what emergency may arise, we maintain this fruitful cooperation; that we continue to give listeners the accustomed program service which has created a vast radio audience and a great radio industry.
TWO MONTHS ago the President of the United States in his eloquent tribute \P the progress of radio in two short decades said:
"Today the need is greater than ever that broadcasting should perform its function as a medium of public information. Factual and accurate news made available to all of our people is a basic essential of democracy. Radio has done its job well in this field."
These are President Roosevelt's words. We of the industry ore grateful for such high praise, but we do not intend that it shall make us complacent.
That broadcasting has performed a real function in this field is evident to every radio listener who has followed events from the theaters of war abroad — events as they happen. To do this radio had to meet a challenge xmprecedented in its history. It met it through the cooperation of overseas newsmen who were enlisted in the service of broadcasting.
Brilliant eye-witness descriptions, and onthe-spot news summaries by American foreign correspondents and wire services, as well as reports from our own staff observers, were broadcast directly from the scene of hostilities and action, over the National Broadcasting Company's coast-to-coast networks. Thus, radio joined the press in keeping the American public better informed than ever before on developments throughout the world.
As the President has stated, the nations of this hemisphere are engaged in a cooperative undertaking to keep war and aggression from our shores. Radio is a powerful medium for carrying our public opinion to the world.
We con broadcast the success story of American democracy to listeners abroad.
