Brothers and sisters,

the battle for production has been won.

Completed returns

show that the standard of living…

has risen by no less than 20 percent

over the last year.

All over Oceania there’ve been spontaneous

demonstrations of Party workers…

voicing their gratitude and joy!

In honor of this massive overfulfillment

of the ninth three-year plan…

"If there is hope…

"it lies in the proles.

"If they could become conscious

of their own strength…

"they would have no need to conspire.

"History does not matter to them.

"It was three years ago…

"on a dark evening.

"Easy to slip the patrols.

"And I’d gone into the proletarian areas*.
