Sprekers: Felderhof, Herman / Visser, Jan de / Waart, Paul de, Juliana {koningin}
De Engelse afdeling heeft het materiaal ook gebruikt (waarschijnlijk voor het weekopverzicht Window on Holland):
Queen Juliana’s speech from the throne is not so much an outline of future policy / as a summary of the present situation in The Netherlands … / a review of what has been achieved during the past five years. // She says that the free countries of the world should co-operate in their efforts to safeguard collective security and protect their valuable freedom from foreign agression. // The whole gist of the speech is one of great concern with the present world situation / and the queen expresses her regret that so short time after worldwar II the country has to bear the burden of another national defense, / which puts its stamp on the state budget.// And the queen ends:/ “Praying tha God may strengthen us in our work, / I declare the ordinary session of the States general opened.”
