Communists
In Germany
Offer Plan
REJECT SOVIET IDEA
Party In Manifesto Asks
For Coalition Form
OF Government

MOSCOW, June 25.- R)
The Ger an Communist
Party. in a manifesto issued
in Berlin, today rejected a
Soviet system for present-day
Germany and instead for
coalition parliamentary gov
eminent and the development
of private enterprise and the
profit system.
The appeal, signed by the cen.
tral committee of the Communist
Party and reported by the Rus.
sion Tass News Agency, was ad-
dressed to all German people
everywhere.
Calling for equal rights before
tbe law and free elections, the
manifesto demanded the confis.
cation of the big estates of the
Nazis, Junkers and "Imperialists'
and their division among landless
peasants.
II made clear that all Germans,
except the Nazis and rich col
laborators, should retain theil
property and that large-scale
landowners and big peasants
should keep their lands if they
did not tie up with the Nazis.
In the document, the Commun
list Party not only blamed the Ger
man people for their plight, bu'
also blamed the German Commun
lists themselves for being unable
to weld together Democratic
groups in defiance of the Nazis.
The Communist appeal also ad
mitted that Germany should repay
the Allies for the damage ane
harm done during the war.
The German Communist Party
in the election of March 1913;
which swept Adolf Hitler into Pow
er, tailed nearly 100000 votN:
and elected 81 delegates to the
ReichStag. Only two parties were
stronger-the Nazis and the Social
Democrats.
Leading signer of the docu-nen
was 67-year-old Wilhelm PECK
associate of Rosa Luxembourg ane
once a Reichstag deputy. Two wo
men, Irene Gertner and Marta
Arendzee, likewise signed thu
manifesto.

ended at the Presidents headquar-
tiers in the Fairmont Hotel where
he held a reception for all the
Conference delegates.
His head barred to stiff breeze
which ruffled his hair, Mr.. Truman
obviously enjoyed the occasion.
He seemed, too, to have had a
full measure of pleasure out of
the playing of the Missouri Waltz
at the airport.
While the band played the theme
song of his campaign for the vice
presidency last year, Mr.. Truman
kept pace to the music as he stroll
ed briskly around troops drawn up
for his review.
Earlier he had been given a
military welcome by General H.
II. Arnold, chief of the Army Air
Forces, and Admiral Royal E. In
gersoll, following the diplomatic
welcome from Edward R. Stettin
Jus, Jr., secretary of state, the
American delegation and the chair
men of the 40 otter delegations.
It was the second big public

by other cheering thousands in ,
Commute visit, while en- route
here from his vacation at Olym

Stopping at the debarkation
hospital near the airport, the
President exchanged greetings with
dozens of the wounded who haG
been brought out into the yard
During the long ride from the
