RADIO VARIETIES — MARCH
RADIO AND NATIONAL DEFENSE
We can srtengthen the democratic determination of other peoples. We hove tried it. We believe it is working.
The International Division of the National Broadcasting Company is presenting short wave broadcasts sixteen hours a day, carrying a simply told, truthful story of our ideals, our way of life, to peoples everywhere.
Programs in German, French, English, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish ore devoted to subjects of interest to the worldwide audience with particular emphasis on the "good neighbor" policy of our government. Thus, radio is performing a service for democracy.
In South America, and in parts of Europe, there is group listening which is not foiind in the United States. These listeners ore people who cannot afford radio sets, but who listen to short wove broadcasts from the United States over community-owned, all-wave receivers. Radio broadcasting is a most important service in certain of these countries, where many people do not read or write and can be reached only through the spoken word.
Through its international programs radio has provided American listeners with ringside seats dt world-shaking events. It is thus that broadcasting has kept faith with the public.
As we go forward into this comparatively new year, we are aware that it is a year of destiny. It will be filled with uncertainty and peril. However, we can face the future with confidence because we face it with faith — faith in our democratic institutions and fcdth in the strength of our people.
American broadcasting will help to fortify our confidence, more so because radio has the assurance of freedom. President Roosevelt in his memorable statement made on November 25th last, declared: "Your government has no wish to interfere or hinder the continued development of the American system of broadcasting. Radio was born and developed in the real American way and its future must continue on that basis."
With his assurance we shall continue to serve the country's interests fully, wholeheartedly, and patriotically. We shall continue to contribute to the high morale of our people, and to our unity of spirit and action.
Together we shall preserve that freedom which is America's tradition, America's way of life, America's strength and shield against aggressors. Whatever the future brings to our great land, radio stands prepared to do its part.
