Seated at his desk in City Hall, Fiorello H. La Guardia makes his final radio talk to the people of New York as mayor Dec. 30, 1945.

This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.

Description from the Municipal Archives card catalog:

Production of consumer goods alone is not the means to national full employment. Appeal to bond holders not to cash in bonds. Need for a public works program as a necessary part of reconversion. Cost of living and wages. U.S. as a world leader.
