Its burden of truth is not easy to bear. It must explain to a curious and suspicious world what we are. It must tell them of our basic beliefs. It must tell them of a country which is in some ways a rather old country--certainly old as republics go. And yet it must make our ideas alive and new and vital in the high competition which goes on around the world since the end of World War II.” Shot of audience listening in filled auditorium. 1960s Broadcasting; Government propaganda; Agency; NOTE: Sold at per reel rate.
