The National Broadcasting Company and its affiliated stations present the Pacific story. In the mounting fury of world conflict, events in the Pacific are taking on ever greater importance. Here is the story of the Pacific and the millions of people who live around this greater sea.
The drama of the peoples whose destiny is at stake in the Pacific War. Here as another public service is the tale of the war in the Pacific and its meaning to us and to the generations to come.
Formerly, Prophet of the Pacific. I am a dying man. I can do nothing more for either of our two great conscience.
I have warned America in my books. I now warn you Chinese in words. China's enemies are its historic pacifisms. It's political corruption and Japan. We Americans have the same free enemies. Your new republic, China, like ours, can only be preserved in its beauty and freedom by vigilant swords.
It is frightening how clearly this crippled little American sees our dangers. I have never been able to understand why it kills so much about China's cause. No, when he is so cruelly American... Look, Dr Sun Yershin is talking with him now.
Homily has fought for our new Chinese Republic, and now at last he has seen his friend, Dr Sun, inaugurated as our first president. Look how they talk. Dr Sun and generally your deep friends. I must strike Dr. Sun to the heart to seem so ill.
He knows he can do nothing to help him. And homily knows that too. They say he and his wife will go back to America soon. He is so ill. So ill. Such a frail little hunchback.
