Communism exists on both sides of the Iron Curtain.

Explanation:

In this speech Churchill wants to warn everyone that the Communism is spreading too fast, and that already is a danger for the whole world. The iron curtain that is being created between East and the West will not be enough if that danger is not to be removed. Although Great Britain and United States weren't so endangered Churchill realized that this can also happen with them.
