Transcript

Words at War. This is a dedication to those politicians, statesmen, and leaders of the world who either actively brought on this war or passively failed to raise a finger to prevent it. To those financiers, bankers, and industrialists who armed fascist Japan while she was in the very act of crushing China and who now in the midst of war

are still engaged in their slimy imperialist game of obtaining materials for the next war. To those leaders and their henchmen who have twisted this war into what it should not have been, and who today are both consciously and unconsciously betraying the democratic will of the enslaved people of Europe and Asia, in hate and to the soldiers of all nations,

for lying on the once good but now mangled and bloodied earth, striving to get at each others' throats, who are staring up at the stars at night, recalling their lost youth in the forgotten days of peace, who are consumed not so much with mutual hatred for each other, as with their united hatred for war.

In love, this program is dedicated. No broadcasting company in cooperation with the Council on Books and War Time presents another of the most widely discussed programs in America, Words at War, grammatizing the most representative books to come out of this great world conflict. Tonight, still time to die as told by foreign correspondent Jack Bell. Seven months ago I was wounded in Italy

and I'm only just now recovering from my wounds. After the long and tormented years of war it was like a dream fulfilled to lie in a hospital bed. For days there was the wonderful thrill of tasting and filling up on such simple things as eggs and milk and fruit.
