They had met them a few weeks ago when they first arrived in the U.S. One of the labor representatives asks them about their impressions of America. They uniformly praise the effectiveness of the U.S war effort, extolling the efficiency and productivity of her war plants. One of the commenters calls for more international unity in the labor union movement. A spokesman for the American labor representatives expresses need to support the United Nations movement. Film closes showing the four British exchange visitors boarding a U.S. Army Air Corps C-54 transport plane to fly them home to England.

Shows preparation of steel rod and process for drawing steel wires at a wire manufacturing plant in the United States.

A segment on manufacture of wire products, from a documentary titled ' The Story of Steel'. Shows the preparing of rod for drawing into wires. In the wire manufacturing factory, the wires are dipped into acid bath to remove scale, then a water bath in a giant wooden tub removes acid from the wires. The rod is carried slowly through a spray of water to deposit a fine oxide coating which is of benefit when wire is drawn. A lime bath neutralizes the acid and lubricates the wires. Lime coating is then baked. Workers working in a wire drawing room in a steel wire mill. End of a wire is sharpened on a grinder to point the end. Worker threads wire through die and onto large receiving spool, then cold rods are drawn through a hole in a solid die which reduces their diameter and increases their length. The spinning spools fill with wire rapidly. For safety of workers, the machine automatically stops after sensing a kink in the wire. The kink catches in a loop on a brake handle, and activates the brake.
