Alignment Of Europe
VIII Depend on Bread
German Leader Says
: by The Asseeioisd prsss

MUNICH, Germany, Jan. Ill
Kurt Schumacher, leader Of Ger
manys Social : Democratic Party,
said bluntly tonight that the fight
between democracy and communism
In Central Europe would be decided
with bread.
The German political leader criti-
cized the American and British oc-
cupation powers for failing to grant
any power to the Germans and de-
clared that the people Of the coun-
try would become the political
friends of the occupying power
which treats them best.
Schumacher, an avowed foe OF
communism, left little doubt that
he expected the western zone Of
Germany to be fed through the
Marshall Plan. He told a news con-
ference:
Lets not forget that Soviet
Russia took grain and industrial
goods from countries which devel-
oped them without using the Com
munist system"
Opposes Western State"
He urged the Allies always to keep
Contact" In Berlin as the only way
to avoid a divided Germany and
came out fatty against = western
State" Germany, he said, must
function as a nation.
Schumacher, in criticizing what
he termed the failure of the United
States and British occupational
authorities to grant power to the
Germans, pointed to q contemplate
ed new supreme court and COM
mented:
The judges will not be appointed
by the German people but by the
occupation powers"
'It has been clearly proved" he
added. That all the power lies with
the occupation. Nothing has been
granted to the Germans"
| Urges Control Only.
Schumacher said the victorious
powers should reduce their func-
tions to merely that of control and
asserted that "the essential thing
/ for democracy Is that the Germans
institute 1t themselves"
Turning to the conduct of the
German people themselves, the
Social leader said one Of
the difficulties of the new democ-
racy Is that the producers and
holders of wealth "do not pay their
way proportionally as they should
morally and politically"
Speaking of the British zone, in
which he lives, Schumacher COM
planned that police power should
be invested in the German depart
ment of interior. He cited as an
example, the collection OF food from
peasants for proper distribution and
commented that it. was ridiculous
when the collector was armed only
with a piece Of paper. For such
duties, he said, armed policemen
are needed.
