Capital Welcomes Juliana.
Capital Welcomes Juliana. It's a royal welcome for Queen Juliana and her consort Prince Bernhard, as the royal couples arrives by plane for an American visit. President Truman and Mrs. Truman greet their Dutch majesties at the airport, accompany them on triumphal trip to Congress, where a joint session hears a dramatic speech by the charming queen. Arrival at the airport; the queen wears a fur stole. At a joint session of the U.S. Congress, Queen Juliana receives a standing ovation, shakes hands with Vice-President Alvin Barkley and Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn. The queen speaks: "If America does not want to stand alone - and I know she does not - I feel that she not only likes to give her help to others, but that she also counts on their support. The Netherlands can give you that support." Applause. "The Netherlands can give you that support, in your eyes perhaps a small amount, in the form of good or money - but much in the form of goodwill." Edit. Closer shot as Queen Juliana speaks: "Mankind, in its distress, has to trust largely to your good judgment for its deliverance. Let us all do as best we can. Leave the rest to God. He will not forsake this poor world for the sake of all the good-willing and bravely striving souls living in it." Applause.
