U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson addresses before the Civic Federation of Dallas and the Community Course of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He talks about the problems left as a consequence of the war, how there are great areas of the world that are breeding grounds of conflict because their people lack the means of a good life, and the dangers of emergent nationalism. He speaks about the importance and benefits of strengthening the North Atlantic community and outlines two steps that hold promise for a new era in Europe: the Schuman Proposal and the European Payments Union. Includes a very short clip of an unknown speaker and program at the beginning of the record. This recording is only a portion of the full speech, and ends abruptly.
