Next on American History tvs reel america, a look back to 1946 with seeds of destiny, a 20minute War Department film depicting the situation faced by millions of orphaned and homeless children. The graphic scenes of traumatized, hungry and poorly clothed children recorded by the u. S. Signature corps helped get millions of dollars for war efforts. This film contains scenes that may be disturbing to some viewers. Children. The human raw material of each shattered nations tomorrow. Each nations preview in flesh and blood of its future. Pillars of a brave new world. Pillars of a brave new world ages from three to six and not even able to stand. Rickets. Age nine. Mother tortured, father burned alive. Age ten, lost her senses when shells swept her dutch village. Age eight, mother, father, sister and brother killed all around him in deliberate shell fire because they refused to leave the shelter of the ravine. Himself wounded. Age eight, she didnt know her strange new toy was a grenade. Ages 10 to 14. Age three. Stunted and warped by nutritional deficiencies. Pillars of a brave new world separated from parents whose names they dont even remember. Roaming like wolf packs, stealing, begging, education neglected. All normal influence gone. Living in filth. And millions more like them from which will emerge new leaders, new leaders who also will bear the burden of keeping the peace together. For here, too, as well as in more fortunate nations, are makers of tomorrow. Will there be new einsteins, tuscaninis, or new hitlers, mussolinis . A legacy meant to drag down into one common ruin, jeopardizing the next generation for the next round. For germany in particular, it had long practice at ripping the entire fabric of a nations life so that a state of enduring weakness could be assured, liberation or not. Liberated leader chain. The Czech Village that once filled this entire valley and then was wiped so completely off the face of the earth that not even rubble remained. All the women were sent to concentration camps of which these are one of the surviving few. Where all the men and boys of the village were shot and buried in one common grave. And all the little children sold for 50 marks apiece to various german families and perhaps lost forever. The effects of which will linger long after men like these captured s. S. Men who destroyed lead leaderche have been tried and condemned. And their big shot counterparts who created a greater degree a destruction that made leaderche a design of all civilization, a design detailed by hitler himself in the last days of the third richt as he stated in essence we shall leave an inheritance of ruins, stone heaps, rats, epidemics, hunger and death and therein western civilization shall decline. Rebirth through ruins. Twisting whole countries into economic cripples, weakness that will last for decades. Rebirth through stone heaps. Reducing human living to animal level. Rebirth through rats, epidemics. Nothing reduces population like plague. Rebirth through hunger. A starved nation cannot be a sturdy one, and malnutrition leaves a lingering mark. Rebirth through death. Reducing and withering the mass population of all countries within reach so that the germans and japanese would remain the strongest physically and mentally, come what may. And thereby civilization shall decline. Nor was this final strategy of rebirth through hitler only, but the general staff, like the jap german staff, who were old hands at it. They were talking with the Berlin Academy at the outset. We germans must number twice the population of our neighbors. Therefore we shall be compelled to destroy onethird of the population of all adjacent territories. We can best achieve this through systematic malnutrition in the end far superior to machine guns starvation works more effectively, especially among the young. Starvation works more effectively, especially among the young. Unquestionably, of all the victims in the program against total populations, the most pitiful have been the most precious. The young. Even after liberation, the heirs to the access legacy of fear, hunger and hate, to be nourished in an atmosphere of desperation for a destiny of despair, the new hitlers and mussolinis of an even bloodier tomorrow. But with the lesson of two world wars to learn from, if any of us in the United Nations give fashion to the road to revival by being fool to neglecting this, all this, the access legacy in action as the true cost in terms of tomorrow begins to show itself. Dissen d dissension, distress, despair, in this the last battle. And if we permit this to be the face of the future, then truly there will be only one place in which to rest the full burden of blame on ourselves. Ourselves, including those of us strolling in the shaded nations of trees that have not been stripped by shrapnel, and whose homes have suffered neither burn nor blast, a lush land bearing no scar of scorched earth, in shops where shortage represents not death but merely temporary discomfort. Walking by schools and grounds where the only screams to be heard when and are children at play. And whose steeples stretched toward god unshored with a bombers wing. In this atmosphere no matter how vivid cannot convey the full meaning of what others have endured and still endure. But to those homes whereint the fateful telegrams have been delivered and the blue stars have given way to gold comes the evidence that geography is no bar to tragedy. Justice to all homes has been given the warning that people who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it. To many men in nations has come the conviction that the world simply cannot survive another war. Thus, even as they meet in the hope of ending war forever, the United Nations looked to the First Organization created in their name, unara, United Nations relief of rehabilitation administration. The emergency items of relief and rehabilitation that serve as the plasma of peace. Items from Six Continents and seven seas. An outpouring from each nations heart to each warstricken friend and neighbor. Hundreds of private relief and welfare organizations blend through efforts through unrra, as well as the contribution from governments themselves. As all over the ravaged areas, the tired heart of liberated nations fight to regain strength and vigor. And the strong heart of the United Nations working hand in hand to help. A welfare specialist from australia, a doctor from cuba and a nurse from belgium. A child expert from england. A therapist from norway, china, learning constructive new lessons in International Te teamwork, for it has wisely been said that the nations will learn to Work Together only by actually working together. And by providing treatment with artificial limbs for the crippled and disabled, and teaching occupations that will enable men to stand on their own feet again, even though the feet themselves be artificial. And with donated shoes learning to be shoemakers so that they may later serve their own villag villages. And so the post of rehabilitation begins to beat again in the areas warped and withered by war. It is a post that beats feebly at first, while little men labor and strive with whatever is at hand or can be brought to hand. And the mounds of supplies seen on docks and warehouses melt down to minute portions, carefully measured out so that all may share and survive and work. And homes are remade wherever a roof is to be found that will provide shelter. Part of a glider wing helps repair one house. Discarded gun covers keep the elements out of another. So also on the farm is restoration sought, despite the toll exacted daily by wars lethal leftovers. For the food supply itself is a matter of life and death. And wherever and whenever fuel can be obtained, the smoke rises once more from family stoves and firesides. The return to normalcy takes on many forms even though it be a nightmare kind of normalcy. Unable to report progress but small in comparison to need. For each blanket given, a thousand more must be given, and the same with plows for once proud and prolific peoples and all the other hundreds of items, straining and exhausting, straining and exhausting an initial budget of 2 million, made up of 1 of each contributing nations annual income, 2 billion. Less than the cost of five days of war, five days of war. Without shattered bodies or pain or lost arms, legs, minds. Five days without a single soldier having to give his life. The cut rate price of peace. Of peace purchased at a much higher price by men whose hearts go to the words of thomas payne. If there be trouble, let it be in my time that my child may have peace. Peace, too, for those children already maimed in one war who must never experience or symbolize another. What seeds of destiny will sprout from within these ravaged ranks and lands with a specter of famine stocks . New furors of legacy liberty . The answer. They will hang in the balance for many years for there is still a long way to go in this battle. A long way. While men of good will everywhere face a challenge so that the upcoming generations can walk the path of peace and strive to meet the responsibilities and preserve the victories won by fighting men of the United Nations the hard way. And establish once and for all that Even Stronger than the atomic bomb is the human heart. Every saturday at 8 00 p. M.
