+From Washington Archibald McLeish reads a letter from the president of the United States during World War II Franklin D Roosevelt expressing the seriousness of the war and his thoughts to the courageous people of the USA. This program was presented in the hope that it would carry across our continent from one shore to the other as the president has put it, a fuller comprehension of the nature of the war in which the United States was engaged.
