In an NBC broadcast-the 44th in

that such program, operating
through the press, radio, motion pic
lures and cultural organizations,
would constitute one of the least
expensive ways to guard against
friction with other nations.
10y Henderson, director of the

1T has been brought to my at

ment through ownership of large
blocks of shares in various Amer

terest in this countrys automobile

The dispute with General Motors,
Mr.. Thomas wrote, is ''over the
matter of wage increases" adding:
But in its broadest sense it bears
directly on matters which in the
long run will determine very ma
terially whether or not the United
States and all other nations will
again follow the road that leads to
depression and war or the road that

Mr.. Thomas called Mr. Attlee's

"Tt is to guarantee this right to
