A little history lesson: Europe was still recovering from World War II and suffering from famine. Truman was afriad that ,if the U.S. didn't provide food aid, his administration's Marshall Plan for European economic recovery would fall apart.
Television was still in its infancy so few Americans actually heard the speech, but it did signal the beginning of what was to become a vital part of the presidency-the media!
