While the allies and Germans
in their zones are trying to set-
tle lat minute difficulties over
establishment of a weu-tn Ger-
man government Russia is seiz-
ing every 6p)ortunity to play on
German nationalism to interfere
The western Germans face po-
litical pressures because their
government will mean at least
temporary acceptance of a divid-
ed Germany
The Russians to emphasize
this difficulty make a great to-
do about lu-oclaiming a consti-
tution for an Germany Although
it is actually a document pravid-
ing a police state in the eastern
zone itis held lip as a great ex-
ample of the unity which would
be permitted if it were not -for
the western fillies '
Formal rstahlUbinrnt of the
fast German government is cx
i pec ted to be held up until it
raa be used as a counter forsme
i in the wrst Since the allies and
the western Germans must pego-
Rate while the eastern Gommun-
1st can proclaim the Russians
are in a better position for qujrk
: maneuver
At the same time Russia makes
a generous gesture to western
Berliners by permitting them to
trade off in the eastern zone the
eastern marks which have been
banned by the allies in the west?
ern zone
Repatriation of German war
prisoners from Russia is being
resumed after allied protests over
Soviet failure to - live up to its
agreements on the subject (But
the accompanying Russian pro-
1 paganda suggests that the former -soldiers
have not been permitted
to go home until they have been
subjected to a thorough commun-
ist indoctrination campaign)
Kurt Schumacher leader of the
Social Democratic j tarty which
' has bested the Communists over-
whelmingly in every test recent-
ly gave what appears to be the -general
German answer to all the
Russian activity
“It-is the most fatal of poli-
tical Illusions to believe thaf Ger-
mans have n rhoico between
east and west Not only pro-Coiu-luunist
agitators propagate this
phantasy but also right wing
set-lions talk about the ‘elastic
German foreign policy' whk-h
t-liould not allow relations with
tlie Soviet Union to be broken
off'
Western German foreign policy
will be controlled by tlie aides
after tlie new governmer: is es-
tablished Russia made a great
show of promising eastern Ger-
many control of its own foreign
ixdicy Such - autonomy in the
Russian sphere was well defined
for what it is worth when Po-
land and Czechosovakla were
reversed in their desire to tarli-
cliate in the Marshall plan
“A decision in favor of the east”
Schumacher continues “would
constitute the last independent
decision the Germans could
make From then onward they-
would be sarcd the trouble of
thinking for themselves''
The western Germans in addi-
tion to their troublesome political
situation face great problem due
tp reparations occupation costs
and the inf lux Into their area fit
some 12 000000 refugee from the
Russian zone and the Silesian
area taken over by Poland But
they show no signs of falling
for so-called solutions pi-0osed
