| 0:00.0 | We interrupt this broadcast for a special presentation. |
| 0:26.6 | This is a speech from the presidential palace, written by President Marshall Ferdinand Fosh. |
| 0:35.0 | After a week of reprehensible violence and bloodshed, President Marshall Fosh is pleased to note that order has returned to the French capital, and he wishes to take this opportunity today on the 5th |
| 0:38.0 | April, 1919, to address the nation and the world. Much controversy has followed the forcible |
| 0:45.6 | seizure of the office of the President by President Marshall Fosh, as has a great deal of misinformation. |
| 0:53.2 | With these unfortunate by-products of this tumultuous time in mind, |
| 0:57.3 | President Marshall Fosh wishes to clear the air |

| 1:55.6 | with the free press and complete freedom of expression, |
| 1:58.7 | and the President hopes that his amnesty of the political |
| 2:01.6 | prisoners, Albert Clavel and René Massigli from Lausante Prison, will serve as a testament |
| 2:07.4 | to this fact. President Poin-Carray, once he swears not to establish a rival political grouping |
