At the same time East Germany
apparently was left pretty much
to its own devices in carrying
out the new line.
Today a study Of party direc-
tiveS and publications and state
ments by the leaders indicates
the bosses cannot make up their
minds how to run the country
without the old Stalinist internal
control system.
No clear-cut policy decisions
have been handed down. Party
leaders themselves admit there
is unrest below. Low-ranking
party members are asking the
leaders embarrassing, but logical.
questions about party support of
the mailman. Criticism of top
leaders appears in party-line
press. Students demonstrate, and
topmost party leaders personally
answer the students objections.
Communist trade union officials
publicly condemn Communist
cabinet members with phrases
strikingly similar to those used
by American union leaders to
Ilambaste the management.
Seek Support
Red government leaders in
East Berlin have taken steps to
strengthen their position. First
they have conceded-in a sharp
turnabout-that the cult of per-
sonality does indeed still exist
in East Germany and that it has
led to un-Marxist abuses of the
dictatorship of the proletariate.
Second, they have encouraged
private discussion of party prob
lens. Third, they have gone to
Moscow to ask for stronger
Kremlin support of their govern
ment.
In a new departure from old
"Self-criticism" exercises, the
leaders have not laid down rigid
ground rules for the policy dis
cuSSion.
Actually, however, the discus
sion seems to be carried on with
in a framework of loyal COM
munism. To that extent the
leaders seem to have little to
worry from the critics. But even
well-channelled criticism can be-
come dangerous in the long run,
and therein lies the party'S di-
limma. How can it keep democ-
racy under control unless it per-
mitted to revert to Stalinist
measures? And how can it
tighten up, once controls have
been relaxed, without riSking a
violent reaction from the public?
However, these leaders-or
successors if they can't hold
their jobs-meet these problems,
it seems to specialists on East
Germany here that some real
democracy might be brought to
the Communist Party. And with
that bit of democracy, it is
hoped, might go more good sense
something the Communist
world could use.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-29

impossible to carry out-Spe-
officially: Lay of the rough stuff:
think for yourselves, but keep
people in line.
Persons whose job it is to
study the Communists, through
Berlin's window into the Iron
Curtain believe the East German
government is honestly stumped
by the new discrimination line
issuing from the Kremlin. They
have been so completely de-
pendent on harsh Stalinist
methods of control and on loud
public backing from Moscow
they believe it impossible to be-
come more independent and
more democratic-and survive.
Changes Still Ahead
Right now the Red regime is
trying to avoid the dilemma by
channeling the new internal
party democracy and by appeal
ing to Moscow to let the party
leaders off the hook.
But whatever the course of
party action during the next few
months, observers here believe,
the Communist government of
East Berlin will undergo some
important changes. They see
no possibility, however, Of an
overthrow Of the regime. What
might happen is that the Com
munists will reform themselves
somewhat, becoming more demo-
cratic within the party and more
nationalistic.
And that, while it's not the
whole game, is at least a point or
two for our side.
East Germany's problem stems
from the fact it has always been
the most dependent of all satel-
lites on Russia. 1t could not
exist as a country without Red
Army support. There probably
is less public support of the Red
regime here than in any other
satellite. The rigid oppression of
Stalinism held East Germany
together. The puppet leaders de-
pended on. and therefore liked,
the Stain technique.
In June, 1858, however, the
new collective dictatorship of
Russia started to criticize its
dead leaders policies. The "cult
Of personality" it was said, made
for poor Marxism. There should
be no more Stalins-even little
ones.
Told to De- Stalinize
East Germany ignored this
talk except to say politically
there was no cult of per-
sonality" trouble among East
German Communist leaders.
But this spring Party Boss
Nikita Khrushchev cut loose with
his famous Stalin-was-a mad
man speech before the party
congress in Moscow. The effect
was that East Germany, still
dependent on Stalinist tech
niQueS, was told to de-Stalinize

Up. Up, She Goes.

TIE RECENT announcement by t. S.
Steel that it was raising prices by $3.50
a ton means that another price spiral is
soon to get underway.
The new inflatonary cycle will include
inltlallN price increases on 1857 automobiles
and on most appliances Other items will
follow.
All Of which raises the question whether
price isplrals can continue to come along
every year or so without major economic
adjustment as result The great ma jority
of economists feel that very slow initiation
Is inevitable in the United States.
As matter of history, initiation has
continued since the United States became
free nation. The nflatonary trend has
followed the lines of graph on chart
with IFS ups and downs, but the general
trend has been towards initiation
Therefore, a dollar in 1900 would buy
much more than a dollar in 1850. or 1900
or in 1850, with the proportions increasing
with the number of years.
The concern at present. however. is that

the inflationary spiral has increased too
RAPIDLY since 1945 The dollar today is only
worth about half of the wartime dollar.
and that means that the value Of the dol
lar has been reduced to about half in about
ten wears. or more. This is rapid rate of
initiation by any standard
There are hints that the Administration
is concerned about the continuing initiation
AIRY trend and that instead of easing money
controls and interest rates. the Federal
Government might be inclined to tighten
them again in the near future. The idea
is to head off another rapid inflationary
rise. which could concevably get out of
hand.
From the economists standpoint. it is
the initiation which does the harm. al
though the people suffer in depression
or recession when the correction is being
made. 1t seems to us that another swift
inflationary rise would be danger to the
U. S. economy, and that it would almost
inevitably be followed eventually by a cor
rection in the form of a depression or
recession.
