| Description: | Ernest Bevin speaking - natural sound. He talks about political and economic difficulties, result of war and the ways to solve them. "Gentlemen, I decided to express my thanks to you for electing me term of this, what may well be regarded in the future as an historic conference. … These political difficulties that have inevitably a reason as a result of the war, will take a considerable time to settle, but in the meantime there is the vex problem, the economic problems for which Europe is suffering today. … We believe that an energetic approach to the economic problems of Europe will not only bring immediate benefit and reduce the suffering caused by the war, but if our handling of this problem is successful, it will in fact facilitate ultimately the right political settlement as well of Europe." | |
