[Clipping: Letters From the People]

Newspaper clipping states that the end of the war can't be dated, prosperity has returned to farms, the United States is a united nation, and stamping out fascism is not simple. The article "Washington Calling" addresses doubts about the ability of Americans to come together for a common goal. Initially, Americans thought that, when faced with war, the country would stand divided, but during WWII the country united and became a powerhouse of production. The article "Letters From the People" sympathizes with the people of Spain because it acknowledges that the Spanish had to choose between communism and fascism. The caller is of the opinion that the Spanish should not be criticized for choosing fascism when both of their only options were oppressive regimes.
