| Summary: | Originally produced as a newsreel by Time Magazine, The March of Time was seen monthly for sixteen years in more than 50,000 theatres around the world. Contents: 1. Tito: new ally -- Yugoslavia today lives up to its reputation as a homeland for fighting men. Out of her 16 million people she boasts 30 army divisions - divisions hopefully on the side of democracy should Russia decide to invade and overtake Europe. 2. Strategy for victory -- What the world needs now is mutual defense! Using UN retreats in Korea and debates over American foreign policy, this film shows what is being done through the Mutual Defense Assistance Program to build a European army strong enough to discourage Russian aggression. 3. Flight plan for freedom -- This is the story of the Strategic Air Command, under the leadership of Lt. Gen. Curtis LeMay. The purpose of this highly trained group of daring men is to carry swift, devastating retaliation to any power attacking the free world. 4. Moroccan outpost -- For the second time in nine years, engineers race to build air bases in Morocco. But there are many problems to be faced in this uneasy Moslem land, by both the US and France. 5. Crisis in Iran -- Here we see how fierce nationalism can upset the balance of world power. Iran is the hottest spot in the world today. We are shown the economic and political conditions that are responsible for the present crisis, and the people who manipulate these conditions. 6. Formosa: island of promise -- In this key area of the Orient, we see Chiang Kai-Shek as the head of both the military and the nationalist government. Working with progressive K.C. Wu, governor of Formosa, they jointly conduct the affairs of state.
