No Binding. Condition: Good. Contributions celebrating "French night on the Freedom Review," the "Freedom review" being one of the radio programs sponsored by Freedom House (as was "Our Secret Weapon" from 1942-3 hosted by Rex Stout). (It should be noted here that France is identified without qualifying that it is "Free France", just "France". ("France Forever" is the Fighting French Association in the U.S.) No publisher listed, but probably Freedom House. 11"x 8.5", 14 leaves. Provenance: Library of Congress, with their stamp on the front and rear page. [++] Good condition (5/10), mostly because of the dusting on the first leaf, and also for the very very faint reminder that this had been folded in thirds long ago. Mimeographed, and staple-bound. Paper crisp. [++] Freedom House (1941-today) is best known for political advocacy surrounding issues of democracy, political freedom, and human rights. Wendell Willkie and Eleanor Roosevelt served as its first honorary chairpersons, and was established with the help of Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, Elizabeth Cutter Morrow, Dorothy Thompson, George Field, Herbert Agar, Herbert Bayard Swope, Ralph Bunche, Father George B. Ford, Roscoe Drummond and Rex Stout. .
