Speech by Princess Juliana, daughter of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, several days after her arrival in Canada.~Following the invasion of the Netherlands by the Nazis, Queen Wilhelmina and Princess Juliana's husband Prince Bernhard went to London, England and the Princess settled in Ottawa with her two young daughters. This is the first speech by Princess Juliana to "her unseen friends of Canada".~After saying a few words in French about the German invasion, Princess Juliana comments on the following: her gratitude for the support by Canada and the United States for both Dutch refugees and the Dutch people who remained in the Netherlands; her feelings about coming to Canada; the kindness of Canadians; some details about her family; the reasons why the Dutch Royal Family left the Netherlands; criticism of the Nazi propaganda machine for saying Queen Wilhelmina was fleeing the country; her father and her husband; her husband's efforts in fighting the Germans; her two children; a plea to Canadians to be kind to her children; and her desire to live among the people. The Princess states that she does not want pity and expresses pride in the Netherlands. After making a few brief comments in French about the Nazis, she closes with the statement that "life is not worth while under Nazi terrorism". The broadcast concludes with music.
