The National Broadcasting Company and its affiliated independent stations present the Pacific story. This is the story of the Pacific. The drama of the millions of people who live around this greatest sea, where the United States is now committed to a long-term policy of securing the peace.
This is the background story of the events in the Pacific, and their meaning to us and to the generations to come. Tonight's specific story comes to you with drama of the past and present and commentary by Roy F. Hendrickson, Deputy Director General of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration who has just returned from a tour of China.
For China's millions. I remind you, it's made up. All of us have suffered together.
Let us not suffer more, needlessly. He is right. Perhaps he has not been away as long as we know. I speak to him. I'm not going to be able to speak to him. I'm not going to be able to speak to him.
I'm not going to be able to speak to him. I'm not going to be able to speak to him. I speak to you as one of you. Hear me. We have lived through the war. Let us not throw away our lives now.
Listen to me this one. What is this one? We have been away a long time. Nearly eight years since the enemy swarmed over our coastal plains. And all of us walked out here into the interior.
But we here in Zichuan must realize that sixty or seventy million of us migrated out here into the west. We must realize that the cities and farms we left have been blasted and burned. The carts are still picking up the dead off the streets of Luqiao and Canton.
