nosis. But as the late great
French correspondent in the
United States, Raouel de Sales,
used to remark, "the chief func-
ton of the journalist is to de-
scribe"
It seems to me that the chief
fact about present Germany IS
that every German so years old
has undergone a series of shocks,
unparalleled in the experience OF
any other people.
Three Rules in Generation
Within a generation Germans
have had three radically different
governments of their own; the
powerful, orderly, authoritarian
Kaiserreich, resting largely on a
caste of nobility, induStrialists,
and bureaucracy, nevertheless So
cially minded enough to take the
world lead in social legislation;
the libertarian Weimar democ-
racy, representative of middle
classes and organized workers,
and composed by precarious party
coalitions of the many-party and
proportional-representation sys-
tenn, the breakdown of which was
a. direct factor in bringing Hitler
to power; and the Third Reich,
despotic and totalitarian, resting
on q caste of party cohorts and
on indoctrinated masses.
In SO years Germans waged and
lost two wars, and underwent two
occupations, the first with serious
results to the nation; the second
with disastrous ones. since the
nation as a whole ceased to exist.
Meanwhile, Germans underwent
the most drastic imitation and
radical depression in Europe.
which eliminated almost the
entire lower middle class; and
managerial revolution. which
largely replaced the power Of the
old quasi-feudal industrial own
ers by q chronological manager
class.
During World War II. Germans
had the brief experience of being
the masters Of Europe and authors
of the worst race crime in modern
history.
Since World War II, Germany
has had six simultaneously exist

On the Other Hand
Best Politician the Country Ever
Had Giving Himself a Real Test

obviously willing to be the best Of
politicians. believing that if he is
it will make him anything but the
worst Of Presidents.
The clue to the kind of politics
the President Is undertaking was
given by his speech in Burlington,
Iowa. Il will say one thing" he
said, "and say it emphatically. The
81st Congress has done a lot better
than the 80th ever did and it is
going to do a lot more than it has
done up to date. The record of
the 81st Congress is not complete
yet, but when it finally finishes
its work and goes home, then
will be ready to come back and
give you the full details, and let
the chips fall where they may"
Effect on Hill Startling.
No other President in our time
ever talked that kind of turkey to
the members of his own party in
Congress. The effect on Capitol
Hill has been slightly startling.
Generally speaking the Demo-
Gratis in Congress were happy to
see the President take to the road,
to see him seize the initiative for
his party in this congressional
campaign year. Some of them,
however, determined to go their
own way, regardless Of the plat
form and other promises made in
the party's name, are not so happy
to have him take the initiative in
the intra-party battle.
But even among the pussy
footers and the members fairly
blind to the realities of this years
politics, there is recognition of the
Presidents basic strategy. They
know that he knows he cannot
set the prairies afire again as he
did in 1948 with promises, that
this year the party will have to
win on performance. What hurts
is that the performance is up to
themselves and that, as of today,
they are away behind in their
work.
Two years ago President Tru-
man clinched his case against the
80th Congress by calling it back
after it had adjourned with it's
work unfinished. just to drama
tie It's do nothingness. There is
nothing to prevent the President
from keeping his own Congress
here. campaign or no campaign, to
force it to give him a record he
can take to the country with some
confidence,

Acheson Seen Facing Trouble in London
On Plan for Western Europe Economy
.ern Europe Economy

leaders Of the Atlantic Pact ma
tionS are aware that the defense
of the West cannot be successful
unless all the component parts of
Europe outside the Iron Curtain
participate in this ambitious
scheme.
At the last meeting of the
Hague. where the defense minis
ters and their chiefs of staff dis
cussed the problem of Western
defense. all agreed that so long
as the $1,000. 900 persons in West
ern Germany are kept out of the
picture the defense problem will
remain very difficult.
British Fear Cartels.
The move in which Mr.. Schu-
man has joined to start a pool
Of resources which may lead to
a formal alliance with the Ger
mans in all likelihood will allay
the suspicious of the average
Frenchman and moderate his de-
mand for full protection against
another onslaught from the Riech.
Unfortunately the British are
less enthusiastic about the idea Of
German French unity. They fear
that it will offer the British in
dustrieS competition on a scale
which may prove ruinous. 1t is
recalled here that in 1927 the
French and German heavy indus
tries agreed to form cartels.
Frances prime minister of those
days-Raymond Poincare, a bitter
anti -German-became convinced
that politically such combines
might yield important results for
Frances perennial problem of
security. Unfortunately the Brit
iSh saw a hazard to their own
economy.
Lord Birkenhead was sent post
haste to Germany ito play golf" :.
Actually he tried to convince the
German steel manufacturers and
particularly the shipping magnates
that they should not fall for the
scheme. When this mission
failed the then Foreign Secretary
Austen Chamberlin secretly in
vited Andre Berthelot, permanent
undersecretary of the French
Foreign Office, to London and by
making extensive concessions to
the French on a question of the
numerical strength of their
armed forces, managed to nip
in the bud an attempt to con-
solidate all possible economic
competition.
1t is hoped that the same mo-
tives do not exist today in the,
minds of British policy-makers.

How do I divine this? Simple.
