At War45-02-1384What To Do With Germany

Words at war. Middletown, USA, 1985. Listen. It is the sound of marching feet. What does it signify to you, listeners? They're probably soldiers, aren't they? Yeah, what is it? A parade? No, my friends, it is not a parade in the usual sense.

These are not soldiers. The rhythmic tread you hear is being made by slaves. Slave. Did you say slaves in America? The United States of America? Impossible. Ah, but listeners, this is the year 1985. The National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with the Council on Books and War Time presents another Words at War program.

Tonight's book, What to Do with Germany, was written by Louis Neiser, American attorney, orator, and writer. Numerous international statesmen have referred to his book as the Bible for Peace. How well this description is merited was revealed today when from Yohtha came word of what the big three planned to do with Germany.

The seven main points proclaimed by Roosevelt Churchill and Stalin are the identical seven points on which Mr. Nizer has written his book. No program therefore could be more timely than the one you are about to hear.

Our adaptation is a little imaginative, but as you listen, remember this. It is founded on fact. Yes, listener. Incredible as it may seem, this is the fact afforded by fancy. This is America, and these are slaves you hear.

Worker slaves returning from factory to home, marching in close formation under the hawks eye, the watchful storm trooper. Say, what's happened? What kind of America is this? Yeah, what's going on? Patient's friends, here comes the answer to your questions now.

One of the denim clad marchers drops from the formation to enter his home. Let's follow him. Dad? Are you home? Yes, son. Here I am. Oh, I didn't see you sitting there in the dark.
