The March of Time newsreel series was originally shown during the World War II era to help Americans learn how much longer war-related matters would require their attention or keep their friends and relatives abroad while fighting on their behalf. This particular program was compiled from several newsreels that addressed the many post-war problems that faced the U.S. How would the country respond to the plight of the millions of new orphans abroad or resolve the Palestine problem? Issues in Germany and France cried out for resolution. Some of America's responses to these crises are detailed in the footage shared here. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi
