随着二战的结束，美苏的冷战也悄然打响。正如英国前首相丘吉尔所说：“从波罗的海的斯德丁〔什切青〕到亚得里亚海的的里雅斯特，一道横贯欧洲大陆的铁幕已经降落下来”。

AA shadow has fallen upon the scenes so lately lighted by the Allied victory.Nobody knows what Soviet Russia and its Communist international organization intends to do in the immediate future， or what are the limits， if any， to their expansive and proselytizing tendencies.I have a strong admiration and regard for the valiant Russian people and for my wartime comrade， Marshall Stalin.There is deep sympathy and goodwill in Britain—and I doubt not here also—towards the peoples of all the Russians and a resolve to persevere through many differences and rebuffs in establishing lasting friendships.We understand the Russian need to be secure on her western frontiers by the removal of all possibility of German aggression.We welcome Russia to her rightful place among the leading nations of the world.We welcome her flag upon the seas.Above all， we welcome， or should welcome， constant， frequent and growing contacts between the Russian people and our own people on both sides of the Atlantic.It is my duty however， for I am sure you would wish me to state the facts as I see them to you.It is my duty to place before you certain facts about the present position in Europe.
From Stetting in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe.Warsaw， Berlin， Prague， Vienna， Budapest， Belgrade， Bucharest and Sofia；B all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere， and all are subject， in one form or another， not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow.
If now the Soviet Government tries， by separate action， to build up a pro-Communist Germany in their areas， this will cause new serious difficulties in the American and British zones， and will give the defeated Germans the power of putting themselves up to auction between the Soviets and the Western Democracies. Whatever conclusions may be drawn from these facts—and facts they are—this is certainly not the Liberated Europe we fought to build up.CNor is it one， which contains the essentials of permanent peace.

The safety of the world， ladies and gentlemen， requires a new unity in Europe， from which no nation should be permanently outcast.？AIt is from the quarrels of the strong parent races in Europe that the world wars we have witnessed， or which occurred in former times， have sprung.Twice we have seen them drawn by irresistible forces， into these wars in time to secure the victory of the good cause， but only after frightful slaughter and devastation have occurred.BSurely we should work with conscious purpose for a grand pacification of Europe， within the structure of the United Nations and in accordance with our Charter.That I feel is an open cause of policy of very great importance.
In front of the iron curtain which lies across Europe are other causes for anxiety. ln ltaly the Communist Party is seriously hampered by having to support the Communist-trained Marshal Tito"s claims to former ltalian territory at the head of the Adriatic.CNevertheless， the future of ltaly hangs in the balance.Again one cannot imagine a regenerated Europe without a strong France.All my public life I have worked for a strong France and I never lost faith in her destiny， even in the darkest hours.I will not lose faith now.However， in a great number of countries， far from the Russian frontiers and throughout the world， Communist fifth columns are established and work in complete unity and absolute obedience to the directions they receive from the Communist center.Except in the British Commonwealth and in the United States where Communism is in its infancy， the Communist parties or fifth columns constitute a growing challenge and peril to Christian civilization.I have however bound to portray the shadow， which alike in the west and in the east， falls upon the world.
