[Music]

this is new york

calling the world

the outrage on the frontier early this

morning

creates a critical

intercontinental situation

this is the latest

of a series of deplorable incidents

causing friction

between the federation of europe

and the atlantic states

despite all the attempts

of the world league of peace

despite the annihilation

of the old provocative national

boundaries

and the substitution

of continental federations

the year 1905

finds us faced

with as dangerous a situation

as the year 1914

we look to london

the headquarters of the great world

league of peace

and of the government of the federation

of europe

to assist us

in destroying

the mysterious and unscrupulous forces

which we have reason to believe

are seeking to precipitate

another world war

these forms of politicians

money talks

[Music]

he's leaving us

in 48 hours we should have brought about

the war which we haven't waited yes yes

but then that's where we get our profits

this is new york

calling the world

we shall now broadcast pictures

of the location on the frontier where

this morning's outrage was perpetrated

though we regret the accidental death

of the two european rum runners

there can be no excuse

for the deliberate

and unprovoked attack

by the european troops

on the feasible guardians of our

boundaries

did you hear what that atlantic

announcer said and what about the murder

of our gods let alone the rum runners

is the european government going to

stand for this

we ought to declare war on them

federated war council are in there now

enable me to touch you

the latest news is

tonight yes

mad

only about you darling i'll call for you

in the car as usual but you can't it's

after dinner

we must eat

while we can

i'll call for you as usual goodbye no

good

goodbye don't turn it up michael

bye goodbye

[Music]

um

[Music]

[Music]

it is my considered opinion

and i must speak frankly now

that the european government be held

responsible for this final outlet yeah i

find that this is a dreadful factor

mr president i could test say sit down

our secret police have evidence that the

man who fired the shots was a european

agent

although we know that there is a

european plot to blow up our building

but our patience is exhausted

and with god by our side the countrymen

we are convinced that only

direct actions will avail

as representing the world's league of

peace

i deplete the president's warlike

sentiments

i have here

a message from dr seymour the league's

victor general

it states that over 20 million members

of the league of peace

not only on both sides of the atlantic

but throughout the world

demand a peaceful settlement

to the death they are pledged to resist

war and all war-like preparations

[Music]

[Music]

i suppose it's no good giving you the

bird sir

i'm afraid not

pretty good if i may say so sir

not bad

what about your own

i'm afraid my uh fighting days are over

sir

thank you carly colonel

[Music]

foreign

major dean here

michael

good evening sir

what's the latest news from new york

do you think there's going to be a war

war

of course there won't be a war

the people of today are much too

intelligent

that's what they said in 1914

it isn't what the country are thinking

it is what the government intends to

do because of the country

if they want to put a penny tax on

tea or beer

but they never dream

of taking a referendum

of peace

or war

no

i have great faith in our league

and we shall go on fighting for peace

for i am

deeply concerned

yes

you know

my chief concern at the moment

is that your daughter might be late for

the dinner that i've ordered

and you know

cold soup is worse than any war

daddy

dad

do you think you can manage about me

what life i suppose i shall have to

someday

i'm just going to change

[Music]

don't misunderstand me sir

i'm as much for peace as you are

i believe in deeds

not words

if you want peace

you must enforce it

and there is only one way to do that

by a mercenary army

i join issue with you dr seymour

war is bad enough

but at least

armies are held together

by ideals of loyalty and patriotism

patriotism

is usually a spirit of ignorance

an arrogance

which my league is trying to destroy are

you prepared to make every man and woman

in this country

a traitor

in your sense of the word

i am

i believe that the people themselves

should decide between peace and war

don't you worry sir

[Music]

oh

[Music]

we're losing something

[Music]

new

[Music]

smile if you like major

it's a soldier's job to laugh at our

pre-sleeve

but when our membership reaches 25

millions

then we'll show you something effective

you can tell me nothing more effective

sir

than this

goodbye

now this next incident my friend

ought to do the job

but

there must be no mistakes

this time

it must be carried through thoroughly

and timed exactly

as the meeting of the european council

now

get on with it

oh

yeah it's very pretty

very nice little job indeed

you just said that clock so that you

time it ready for the next train

which passes through this tunnel

the london paris dining car express

so

so

[Music]

[Music]

well i believe the atlantic people are

trying to pick a quarrel but the vetting

in the city this afternoon was six to

four against war because of the beast

league's power

i hate going under the sea

still it feels like being seasick in the

dark

you know i had the most awful dream last

night i guess this panel's all blown out

but you mustn't say things like that why

we should all be drowned like redstone

and traps

[Music]

michael

i'm worried

you no

our ideals have always played

and i'm afraid this war

may drive us further apart than ever

then let's get closer

while we can

hate it

what can i do to stop it

you could refuse to fight ah

i see and then i suppose they'd say

let's call it all off

dean won't fight what a child you are

well

there are 25 millions who want

and they are right

who knows

one's country is in trouble

one must fight for it

i understand

my country is

right or wrong

no man who gives his life for his

country

dies in vain

the last war

in the armenian men

died for our country

in the last war

nearly eight million men

died all over the world

fighting in a war to end war

and if we have this one

they'll have died in vain

what are we end wars now

once and for all

why not

that's what i'm hoping

that's what i believe is happening

but i am converting you

more and more

to you

now let's talk about us again

you don't think

i want to fight now

do you

ah the federated states of europe are in

immediate danger

i demand therefore

that we disregard the ultimatum of the

atlantic states

every man and woman

subject to the conscription act of 1938

bled white of its manhood

peaceful disaster

thank you mr president

would you read this sir

will you not first broadcast a message

of encouragement to our people just one

moment

follow you to war

yes

though i have been most anxious

because i realized that your influence

i will broadcast a message

to the world

the president of the federated states of

europe

speaking to the world

i have here dr seymour

the president of the world's peace

league

he has something vital

no doubt surprising to say to you

regarding the crisis

dr seymour

president

has asked me to convey to the whole

world

that the european government will submit

all differences to arbitration and is

confident that the atlantic government

will agree

there's been an accident

to the televisor

but i can still address you

through the microphone

there shall be peace upon earth

no

war

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

calling the world

the seymour case

dr seymour

who is charged with the assassination of

the president of europe

has during his three weeks trial

maintained absolute silence

and has declined to make any defense

the trial is now drawing to its close

and tomorrow

the judges summing up

and the verdict of the journey

will be broadcast from the old bailey to

all station

evelyn my dear

about your father

can't i help you help you

you

i don't expect anything from your side

but i want to help you

i'm so unhappy thinking of you fighting

all by yourself

i want to be with you

is it

too

no late

it's not too late

if you really mean it

but i do mean it

your father

saved the world

i want to help you through the trial

they dare not find him guilty you

believe that too

i'm sure

when can i come and see you

no

do you mean this

yeah

right

this is london calling

the seymour case

this is as you know the last day of the

trial and the judge is now addressing

the jury

it is a judge's duty to use the

opportunity

during the closing moments of the trial

not only to guide the minds of the jury

but to presume to give them some advice

the fact

that the death of a president brought

peace to this world

has no bearing on the case whatsoever

the fact that had the president live

thousands of lives might have been

needlessly sacrificed

has no bearing upon the case either

a life has been taken

and according to the law

a life is the forfeit

ladies

and gentlemen of the joy

it is now your solemn duty

to consider your verdict

was the jury considered touching the

power held here this day

girl follow me

come along

um

do you want to see more

is

mr foreman

the prisoner of the bar

is charged

with murder

do you find him

guilty

or

love

guilty

guilty

you have been found guilty

of murder

is there anything you wish to say as to

why the sentence of death

should not be passed upon you

[Music]
