Iq5 Pei. Of DistiIIeries
Close for 50 Days in
Saving Drive
BY the Associated Press

Distilleries making up more
than 95 per cent of the country's
alcohol capacity closed at mid
night last night for so days, but
one distiller said it would take
Americans four years to drink up
the stocks on hand.
Chairman Charles Luckman of
the Citizens Food Committee pre-
dicted the other per cent of the
industry, from which he has not yet
heard, will "join wholeheartedly" in
the shutdown to save grain for Eu-
rope
But the AFL Distillery Workers
International Union, contending that
10000 to $4,000 workers will be laid
off, urgently requested employers
to meet with union leaders in Chi
cago next Thursday.
To Define Union Position.
Joseph O'Neill. union president
said the session is for the purpose
of defining the unions position.
Previously, officials of the union had
indicated they may file damage
suits, request standby pay for dis
placed workers, or file charges of un-
fair labor proctices with the National
Labor Relations Board on grounds
of lockout.
Mr.. Luckn,an has offered his serv-
ices, If necessary, as a neutral agent
in helping get workers reassigned tC
Jobs in the bottling, labelling, ship
ping, maintenance and other de-
partments which will continue to
operate.
+ Announcing that all distilleries OF
fubhcke~ Industries, Inc, are COM
plying with the voluntary shutdown
request, L. j. Gunson. president OF
the Kinsey Distilling Corp, estimated
that there are nearly four years sup
plies in warehouses.
No Shortage Expected.
A spokesman for the Distilled
Spirits Institute, representing so per
cent of the industry, has stated:
There will be no shortage OF
liquor, and there is no excuse for
raising prices
Publicker produces about 80 per
cent of American distilled spirits,
Mr.. Gunson said. He added:
when United States distilleries
ceased operations, the industry had
on hand in Government bonded
warehouses approximately 550,000,-
900 gallons of Whiskey and neutral
spirits (used for blendingl which had
not yet been bottled.
$500 ,OO0, 900 Fifths.
"The 55O,OO0,0O0 gallons will
eventually be converted into 2,250,-
100000 bottles (ffths> of whiskey
which with the 25O,OoO,OOO fifths al
ready on hand, will make $500, ,0OO,-
900 fifths of whisky available for
United States consumption.
Mr.. Gunson said that of the 10000
Publicker employees, only about $50
are engaged in the actual distilllng
operation.
Industrial alcohol plants as we'll as
beverage distillers joined in the
shutdown. A spokesman for the
Luckman committee said firms rep
resenting 81 per cent of the CONNER
cial alcohol capacity and "a per cent
of the whisky production sent con-
firmations of their closing.
Between 10000 900 and 100000 600
bushels of grain. mostly corn, will
be saved. Mr.. Luckman has esti-
mated. This is 10 to 20 per cent OF
the goal for President Truman's en-
tire food conservation campaign.

Bulgaria Places Self
In 'Anti-ImperiaIist
Camp Led by Russia
BY the Associated Press

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 25.-The
National Fatherland Front Com
mittee declared today the United
States was attempting to destroy
Bulgaria economically and that
Bulgaria's place was in the "anti-
imperalist camp headed by the
great Soviet Union"
The group, made up of executive
committee members of parties rep
resented in the Fatherland Frcnt
government, issued the declaration
after several days of discussion of
the international situation.
1t was signed by such leaders as
the Communist premier of Bulgaria,
George Dimitrov, and Communist
Party Secretary Vulko Chervenkov.
Bulgaria was among the nine ma
tions represented at the Communists
information bureau in BelgradeD
Divided Into Two Camps.
The declaration said in part:
"The countries of the world are
being formed into two camps-the
imperalistic camp on the one hand
and the anti-imperialistic or dem
ocratic on the other.
The imperialistic anti-demo-
cratic camp, headed by the United
States, is aiming to subdue econom-
ically and politically nations de-
stroyed and impoverished because
of the war: to suffocate their
democracy, to re-establish anew a
reign of reaction and Fascist forces,
and to prepare new wars for estab-
fishing world domination of Amer
lean imperialism"
The declaration added:
Bulgaria is bounded by Greece
and Turkey, which have turned into
bases of Anglo-American imperalists
and represent constant threat to
the independence and security of
our country and other Balkan DEM
ocratic countries.
Friends and Enemies Clear.
"For every honest Bulgarian i
is clear today who are his friends
and who are his enemies. Every
body remembers the unjustifed
Anglo-American imperialstic inter-
ference in Bulgarias legislative
elections in 1945, their enemy etti-
tude toward Bulgaria at the Paris
Peace Conference, their anti-Bul-
garian behavior in the Greek inter-
national investigation commission.
their brutal interference in
connection with Nikola Petkov's
trial, the facts of which speak
eloquently for themselves"
(The United States and Britain
denounced Bulgaria for the re-
cent hanging of Petkov, an op-
position leader convicted on
charge of conspiracy" against
the government)
In view of the described inter-
national situation the statement
said, The National Fatherland
Front Committee, together with the
| leadership of the Fatherland Front
Parties and mass organiZa tions,
unanimously declare that vital Bull
garian interests fully coincide TO
tthose of the anti-imperalist camp
headed by the great Soviet Union
and that Bulgaria's place is un-
hesitatingly and completely in this
camp"

Paying tribute to the close

Therefore, I contend that we

reach an agreement with tn e

the negotiations but should pre-
pare a formula designed to re-

Then presumably the Marshall

we shall be identified not with

the unity of Europe and it's re-

f to Mr.. Delbert Clark, of "The
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-11

New York Times,'' to reverse
everything he has been saying
about German unity and to be-
come the advocate of a parti-
toned Germany. But though
missed seeing DR.. Schum acher,
l saw several of his more i'm
portant colleagues both in poll
tics and in the trade unions
And I have no hesitation in say
ing that if DR.. Schumacher is
now for a separate western Ger
man state and a separate
peace, he has either decided
that a bird in the hand-which
is to be Premier under Allied
occupation-is worth two in the
bush, or he is taking US for a
ride.
For if there is anything that
is certain in this world it is
that no German politician, who
hopes to have a following
among the broad masses, will
ever, Or can ever, accept the
partition of Germany. Not
merely the economic unification
of the four zones, which we
have been seeking, but the res
toration of the political unity OF
the Reich and the restoration OF
its territorial boundaries, is, as
lit inevitably must be, the aim
Iof all German national parties
On this point there is no dis
cernible difference of view from
the Communist left to the ex-
treme right. The only genuine
exceptions are those few in Ba-
varia and the Rhineland who
are the heirs of an old separa-
tist tradition. That is why the
most effective theme of Ger
man Communist propaganda is
I"German unity" with the re-
minder that only by a deal with
the Russians can the unity of
Germany, as Germans mean it,
be restored.
For that reason among others
II hope we shall not make the
mistake of setting up a German
government in the British
American zones and of making
a separate peace with it, and
|of giving it sovereignty. l am
not talking about merging the
zones for military government
and of giving the Germans a
greater degree of responsibility.
II am talking of a separate
peace with a western German
state, which so many in London
and in Washington propose if no
agreement is reached at the
next meeting of the Council of
Foreign Ministers.
For the result of that can only
be that the western German
state will then have to negotiate
that treaty of peace with east
iern Germany, with Russia, Po-
land, Czechoslovakia, Austria
and Yugoslavia which we find
ourselves unable to negotiate.
If, as Senator Vandenberg sug-
gests, the Council of Foreign
Ministers is adjourned sine die
after deadlock at the Novem-
Der meeting, this will mean that
the places now occupied by Mr..
Marshall and Mr.. Bevin will be
taken by DR.. Schumacher, or
Herr Jakob Kaiser, of the Chris
tan Democrats, or whoever it
is who becomes the chief of the
western German state. The ne
gotiations between the western
, Germans and the eastern
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-11
Germans and with the Soviet
orbit may at first be secret. But
that there will be negotiation is
unavoidable.

The Germans of the western
state must negotiate for politi-
cal reasons. Consider, for ex-
ample, the mere name of our
proposed German state. Is it to
be called Germany" or is it
to be called western Ger
many? Any name we give it
will be a standing reminder and
invitation to come to terms with
the east. Consider also Berlin,
and whether, having broken off
negotiations with Russia and
made separate peace, we
evacuate Berlin or stay there.
If we evacuate it, we shall have
surrendered to Russia the ace
OF trumps-namely the power to
restore to Germany its ruined
but none the less historical cap
ital. And if we try to stay, what
will we be staying in Berlin for,
since quadripartite military
government no longer exists
even in theory?
The western Germans must
also negotiate for economic rea-
sons since so much of German
trade flows to the east. We shall
even have to advise them to
negotiate. For the Marshall
plan is not, as so many sup
pose, a plan for making west
ern Europe and western Ger
many self-supporting after a
rupture with the east. Contrary
to what appears to be the popu-
lar impression in this country,
the plan cannot succeed, and
western Europe must therefore
be subsidized indefinitely, un-
less trade between eastern and
western Europe is restored by
1851 to very near the pre-War
normal.
Therefore, I contend that
whatever else we do or cannot
do at the next meeting of the
Council Of Foreign Ministers,
the one thing we should not do
Is to make a final break follow
ed by a separate peace. The
present stalemate, bad and ex-
pensive as it is, would not be
so bad and so expensive as that.
For though we are losing con-
troll of the internal life of Ger
many, we do at least still
control the external relations
of western Germany. Russia,
the eastern countries and east
ern Germany must still deal
with us in settling the interna-
tional status of Germany. But
if we make a separate peace
with western Germany, we
shall lose sight of and control
over the settlement of the Ger
man question. The negotiation
will disappear underground,
and neither the Germans nor
the Russians will need to con-
slider our views or our interests.
It will then be the Russians
who can reunite Germany up to
the Oder-Neisse line. 1t will be
the Russians who could restore
the pre-war frontiers of Ger
many. We, on the other hand,
will have been committed to
