Moscow, February 22, 1946 | 9 p.m.
I write with haste. It is true. USSR aiming for nothing short of world communism. Worldview comes from sense of insecurity against antagonistic 'capitalist encirclement'. Soviets impervious to logic or reason and highly sensitive to logic of force. Must see that public is educated to realities of Russian situation. Free press cannot do this alone. Do not know how much longer until I'm discovered. Pursuing to gather more information. Signed /Mr. X
In the mean time at 4pm the next day the Politburo passed a sweeping overhaul of the Finance Ministry and its affiliates. This deals a decisive blow to the various members of FINANCE that had lately been involved in a conspiracy to take over the government. In every respect these reforms have been a total success, and the people can once again sigh in relief as they no longer will go hungry in order to feed the ambitions of those who would let mere rubles corrupt them. The Union is safe.
