“Grave Crisis”
(Rec,. 2 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 1G
“The constant advance of the iron curtain across Europe has created a grave crisis in our international relations. ’’ said the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Mr Joseph Martin, in a statement to the press today.
“There is no reason for the American ' people to be other than perfectly calm, as we all strive for peace. However, we must do all we can as individuals to make America strong and secure in order that we may more effectively promote peace. “Tn this issue, where civilisation’s fate is at stake, we must spare no effort to be sure of the outcome. We must build up our naval and military establishments. We must build and maintain a mighty air force. We must have the strongest navy on the seas.’" Emphasising the serious consequences of a Communist victory in Italy, Mr Martin appealed to all Americans of Italian descent to write to their relatives in Italy, urging the defeat of the Communist Party.
