Last show of the series. Welles reprises little boy in China story and wishes a happy birthday to Yu, a fifteen year old who has never lived through a single day of peace. Truman has betrayed labor and brought us to the brink of another war. By scuttling the New Deal he has not made the democratic party stronger. In the age of the atom, mediocrity becomes menace. OW’s lawsuit against a paper calling him a communist. We cannot destroy communism by destroying the USSR, we can only defeat communism by competing with it. It is wrong to supress communism by suppressing democracy. Reprises first letter of woman from Weehawken asking him what credentials he had to be a commentator.
