l2)The German Industrial
lists who have become once more
q power in German life. as well
as millions of workers, are en-
ioying hugely the present un-
precedented prosperity Of the
new Germany. Profits from
light and heavy industries have
reached the highest peak since
the days before the last war.
These earnings are shared by
capitalists and workers. En-
ployment is at such height that
the German industries are
looking to importing workers
from Italy and Switzerland.
Taxes are lower than ever.
Factories are producing vast
quantities Of consumers goods
which find ready markets not
only in the West but also in
the countries behind the Iron
Curtain from the Vistula to
the Pacific. American help. for
which the Germans are CRATE
full, helped them build the most
up-to-date factories. Now they
are on their own and the sky
is the limit. so the Germans
think, for what their skill and
energy can produce for the
outside world.
Under such conditions. say
the opponents of the Paris
treaties, 1t would be folly to
start a rearmament program
which would increase taxes
substantially for nonproductive
purposes; compel individuals to
give up highly gainful employ
ment to serve for pittance in
the discredited armed forces,
and irritate the men In the

when q President with q few

disconcert the Opposition.

good politics, especially when

The ever-worried State
Department is looking anx-
iously toward the West Ger
man republic as the trouble
spot on ratification Of the
Paris treaties.
The German people. more
than their politicians. are
growing increasingly doubts
full over the wisdom of ac-
cepting rearmament which
would place their country
definitely in one of the camps
Of the present participants In
the cold war.
Three strong reasons have
been ascertained as being
behind the opposition to re-
armament as provided in the
Paris treaties. None has any
thing to do with the past or
suspicious as to the future
intentions of France. All area
based on realism concerning
Germany,s well being
Cd The threats from Mos
COW that If the Bundestag
ratifies the treaties bringing
the Federal Republic into the
NATO the unity of Germany
cannot be accomplished in
the foreseeable future are
taken seriously.
However, the German peo-
pie who keep abreast Of po-
litical Developments seem to
think that even acceptance
of an armed co-existence'
between East and West on
Russian terms would not
bring about unity Of the
former Reich.
The threats against reuni-
fication are probably the best
propaganda weapon the
Kremlin has employed be-
cause many Germans are sure
that 1t is based on fact. The
allies have never even limited
to the Bonn republic that
they have the means to bring
about reunion of the two
Germanys which the Pots
dam agreement arbitrarily
decided without any regard
to the future. If the price Of
