West Reich Is Ready
To Give Troops, but
Equality Is Demanded
BY the Assoeiated Press


Il BONN, Germany. Nov. 9.-The
West German government went
on record yesterday as being will
ing to provide soldiers for the
defense of West Europe If it is
asked to do so.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
told Parliament that this was the
governments policy, deemed nee
essary for protection of the coun-
try against Soviet Russia. How
ever, no vote was taken on the
issue.
He read resolution, drawn up
by the federal cabinet. stating
that West Germany must be pre-
pared, with two conditions. to con-
| tribute to the Vests defensive
front.
The conditions were outlined in
the statement:
"Germany's absolute equality
in this defensive front with the
other nations and the guarantee
that this front will be strong
enough to make impossible any
Soviet aggression"
Leftists Oppose Plan.
Communists and Socialists spoke
in opposition.
Opening defense debate, Dr..
Adenauer said West Germany Isl
ready to cooperate with France
on Premier Rene Pleven's plan
for eventual formation of a uni
fed European army with German
units. but "the government is of
the opinion that the present in
ternational tension needs quicker
settlement"
DR.. Adenauer reported he had
received a message from Premier
Pleven on the eve of the debate
assuring him that the German
contingent in a unified army
would have equality with the
troops Of other nations.
1--WE note this with satisfaction
and gratitude" he said.
10-Division Plan Backed.
The Pleven. plan. as originally
interpreted in Paris, provided that
German troops would be dis:
persed in small units among the
forces of other nations. Diplo-
matte informants in London have
since reported that the United
States backs a counter plan for
use of 10 divisions OF Germans
operating In divisional strength,
meaning groups of perhaps 10000
men or so each.
DR.. Adenauer said any German |
with a healthy outlook should
feel compelled to defend his home
and freedom"
His stand was in line with re-
Gently expressed American de-
sires that there be less talk and
more action In the rearming of
West Europe. His Conservative
government. which has majority
in Parliament, apparently does
not intend to ask for a vote on
the issue at this session.

BRITISH CLUB?

(From Mrs. J. M. R., Washington }
In my regular reading OF RICH
I noticed the frequency with
which other readers request Eng
lish recipes and it has occurred
to me that there are probably
many English women here in the
District.
The point I am trying to make
is that here am I, young Eng
liSh woman, who has lived here
for three years and so far, I have
only met one other Britisher in
all that time. I am wondering
if any of your other readers know
of any clubs, ETC., that perhaps
were started by others like my
self, who met and married an
American officer during the war.
One hears of Scottish clubs, of
Irish clubs, and it's quite possible
that with typical reserve nobody
ever thought to start a British
club. however, If there are any,
I would love to know.

From X, c., McLeanJ

IFTOm X. C., MCLean.J
Can any of the readers suggest
ways to use up leftover Smithfield
ham? 1t is very spicy and the
only way that I serve it is sliced
cold, but perhaps there are other
more interesting varieties of ways
to use. up a ham. I am also inter-
ested in recipes using sour cream
which our family has belatedly
discovered and finds delicious.

Try putting a couple of coats

LIQUID SMOKE.


(From A. M. p, WdshingtonJ
Liquid smoke Is an excellent
product manufactured and I be-
lieve originated by the E. H
Wright Co., Ltd, of Kansas City
Mo.
I first found it and used 1t on
the Pacific coast. then when my
husband was stationed in Kansas
City during the war I went to
the office of the company and was
conducted through the buildings
where the smoke is manufactured
or I should say distilled.
AS to where it may be pur-
chased in the District, I found
that it is distributed through ou1
local wholesale drug companies
and you therefore order it through
your drugstore. Private drug
stores will do this gladly though
I don't know If the chain stores
will do so. No doubt there are a
few of the fancy groceries that
handle the product but I have
found 1t simpler to order through
the druggist.
