...United States. Just because I think that this country, which as I say criticizes itself and is criticized around the world, 180 million people, for 17 years, really for more than that, for almost 20 years, have been the great means of defending first the world against the Nazi threat, and since then against the Communist threat, and if it were not for us, the Communists would be dominant in the world today, and because of us, we are in a strong position. Now, I think that is a pretty good record for a country with 6% of the world...

And after...
Died. Erik Scavenius, 85, Denmark's puppet Prime Minister during the Nazi occupation; in Copenhagen. An arrogant aristocrat, he greeted the Germans with the statement that Hitler had "stricken the world with astonishment and admiration," formed a Danish Free Corps to fight the Russians, and remained in power until 1943, when the Nazis were forced to appoint a military governor; his explanation was that he collaborated to spare his country from Nazi terror, and though he did not go to prison, his countrymen never forgave...
