told me- he had learned as q
correspondent in China. There
after these acted - inter-
prefers. and. at my request, my
translator took notes on the
conversation.
The questions here reported
are mine: the answers are Mr..
Gubff's.
Q. Can you make clearer
to me than 1t presently is
your governments attitude on
Germany?
A. Ny government has made
1t abundantly clear that we
cannot. and win not. accept
q united Germany associated
with the Western powers In an
aggressive military alliance.
The ratification by the Bonn
government OF the Paris trea-
ties fundamentally changed
the whole situation Is we gave
due notice that II would.
q. It Is not my belief that
the NATo alliance is Of ag-
gressive intent but I know
that the uSSR considers IL 90.
A. II 10 obviously directed
against the Soviet Union. We
asked 10 be included In NATo
and that was refused. We
do not believe In military
alliances organized by great
powers or groups Of powers.
Hitherto such alliances have
always meant war. The Soviet
government Is not afraid Of
war. But We do not want war.
The last war set the develop
naent Of this country back
eight or ten years. We have d
great internal program to full
fill.
@. Nevertheless you believe
that Germany should be
united-or do you feel II Is
not very important?
A. OF course 1t Is impor-
tant. But your country and
its associates have prevented
1t. We want Germany reuni-
ned, but we cannot accept re-
uniflcation Of Germany within
NATO. The policy Of the
Western powers Is to have all
Germany included In o mill
tary alliance directed against
the Soviet Union.
Q. But the Western powers

cannot guarantee that . united
Germany would enter NATO.
A. It b western policy 10
have o united Germany within
NATo. We shall not take the
risk that that might occur.
@. But assume FOR d mo-
Iaent that another government
IN Western Germany might
decide 10 abandon the existing
treaties-or that the Western
powers should decide for an
other policy. Then, by what
procedure do you imagine Ger
many could be reunited?
A. We have not thought
out details. It 10 q matter
for the Germans themselves to
decide.
q. But, still, you have made
It clear that you think O meet
ing Of the two governments.
the creation Of q council COM
posed Of members Of the two
governments, Is the correct
procedure. Just who would
have the deciding votes in such
a council?
A. tSomewhat impatientiy)
I am sure they would find some
solution. All we want 10 be
sure Of is that d peace. loving,
democratic Germany would
emerge.
@. Excuse me, but we are
here dealing with . word diff
ficuk to translate into q com.
mon meaning. When we, In the.
West, speak Of o democratic"
government, we mean q repre-
sentative system reached by
certain means II 1t were
agreed that Germany should
be f1eutral-have no military
alliances-would you concede
elections along Western lines?
A. (After q pause.) We are
not so naive as to suppose
that the pattern of East Ger
many can be imposed on west
ern Germany, II that Is what
you mean. II Is not our purpose
to communist Germany. The
future social structure Of Ger
many Is an internal German
affair.
@. Do you put unlimited
confidence In Germany? As
Stunning that Germany reunited
outside NATo. Assuming 1t
decided against any military
alliances. Would you still let
Germany do anything 1t liked?

The cadet corps at Washing

high schools in the South. has
shrunk to one platoon and will
be disbanded next month.
The Arlington school, where a
Washington area record class of
857 will graduate in two weeks,
now has a cadet corps with Is
names on it's roster.
The Army, which sponsors the
cadet programs. has already
withdrawn its rifles and other
training equipment. The corps
will be dissolved at the close of
the school year.
The Washington-Lee corps, es-
tablished a few years after the
school opened in 1925, has been

The union called its men out

Meanwhile no progress was
reported toward the settlement

people connot defend democracy

DR.. Ishtiaq H. Qureshi. now

1--WE cannot defend anything
unless we believe in it. We can
not defend it merely because it
is a matter of convience. Man

Woshington-Lee Cadet Corps
To Be Disbunded This Year

Army sponsorship calls for a
minimum enrolment of 100 boys.
For several years, the corps has
been operating below that figure
in a grace period.
The school also has an
auxiliary corps for girls. 1t
now numbers eight.
A major reason for the small
enrolment, students said, is that
the boys feel they will be drafted
soon after graduation and are
in no hurry to step UP any mill
tary training.
Another factor, school officials
said. is that under State law a
Virginia student must take
physical education classes. un-
less the school lacks gymnasium
facilities. Cadet training. on
the other hand, is one of many
electives at Washington-Lee.
