Plans Of ; Allies Face
Crisis in Next 10 Days
by the As.eeiotsd Press

FRANKFURT, Germany April
1s.-The Western Allies face a
crisis In the next 10 days in all
their plans for q West German
government.
American officials are stepped
In pessimism on the eve of two
fateful meetings which may block
formation Of a German republic
and rupture plans to substitute
civil for military controls.
These meetings are: First. q
caucus in Hanover next Tues
day and Wednesday of the Social
Democrats (SPD), one of West
ern Germany's two big political
parties; secon, conference the
following Monday between West
ern military governors and a dele
CATION from the parliamentary
council at Bonn.
The parliamentary council has
labored nearly eight months to
hammer out a constitution. Now
1t is deadlocked. The SPD and
the conservative Christian Demo-
Gratis (CDU) are tied in a knot
over the question: Should the
constitution blueprint a strong
centralized government or a
"states rights" administration?
Strong Regime Sought.
The SPD demands a strong
central government. The CDU
favors more power for the states
The military governors have rec
commended that financial and
taxation powers be left to the
states. The SPD has refused to
60 along.
Well-informed sources say there
are three ways the stalemate may
be broken.
The SPD might make conces-
sions.
The oDU with support from
some othsg small parties, might
ram through the council at Bonn
q constitution which would win
approval of the occupying powers.
Then 1t would be up to the Ger
man people to ratify or reject
the councils work.
The military governors could
dissolve the council and ask the
states to convoke a new one. Some
officials say public pressure would
force selection Of a more con-
cilatory group. But such action
Is looked on as last resort.
Many well-informed quarters are
convinced the SPD will not back
down at its Hanover conference.
Il am very pessimistic," one high
official commented. There is every
indication that the SPD will cling
to its present position and say
Take 1t or leave It, to the Allies"
Party Position Approved.
A congress Of sPD delegates to
the council and party chairmen
already has approved the position
Of the party at Bonn. The Han
mover conference will include in
addition the party's minister's
president (governors) Of the states.
Another official said 1.-THE SPD
has identified itself with q pres
tige position in defying the Allies"
He added that such defiance Is
popular In Germany.
"The best we can hope for in
Hanover is that SPD will not
slam the door on further talks"
this oficial said.
Some responsible American Of
ficials charge that the British are
quietly backing the Social Demo-
Gratis In their stand. Socialist
policies Of the SPD are much like
those Of the British Labor Party.
British officials say there is no
truth to this charge.
