Description: "With candor and conviction, Henry A. Wallace, then Vice-President, discusses in this film to explain the ideals we are fighting for and the significance of Victory. He presents a condensation of the now famous speech which he delivered before the Free World Association in New York City on May 8, 1942." Indiana. "A stirring pronouncement by Vice President Wallace. Nowhere have the issues of this world wide struggle been explained more lucidly, nowhere have the principles we are fighting for been presented more challengingly." Collaborator. "There is a great advantage in being able to live over and over again the Vice-President Wallace's address in his own voice. The addition of images to the verbal concepts sometimes defeats its own purpose, because the images instead of harmonizing with the words, tend to conflict. There is an emotional value of visualizing some of the phrases of this historic address." 'Why We (should) win the cause will never stop until that cause is won.' 'The people are on the march,' etc. Therefore, in spite of the sometimes poor sound track—this should be an excellent screen for classes in upper elementary school and for community groups."
