"There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world.

<Let them come to Berlin.>

There are some who say -- There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future.

<Let them come to Berlin.>

And there are some who say, in Europe and elsewhere, we can work with the Communists.

<Let them come to Berlin.>

And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress.

<Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen.>

<Let them come to Berlin.>

<All -- All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin.>"
