Paris on Parade

[a panoramic view of Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower unfolds]

Narrator:
The Paris Exposition was undoubtedly one of the most important events that happened in the year of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, if for no other reason than the fact that it brought together, for the first time in the history of world expositions, the official flags of 44 nations, which wave side by side in a spirit of international goodwill. With unbiased minds, therefore, let us review this modern spectacle, which glorified the arts and crafts of peace and helped to develop a better understanding between the peoples of a world that still has faith in the ideal of man's humanity to man.

Narrator:
The millions of people who gathered here in an international spirit of peace, and witnessed what their respective nations could do if the ugly spirit of war were submerged for all time, and each country, regardless of size or power, could safely devote its resources to the cause of peace on earth and goodwill toward men.
