Warning in 1851
Back in 1851. when this trade
was getting started again after
the Berlin blockade Of i948-9,
the West Germans declared
that it could not be continued
if there was any interference
with Berlin traf1ic.
But Heinrich Rau, the Com
monist Vice Premier, has said
that if it comes to economic
sanctions, We nave the longer
lever"
He may have meant that al
though the West Germans could
cut off trade with East Ger
many. the East Germans sur
round West Berlin and lnight
try to starve it out.
Earlier this week Willy
Brandt, Mayor of West Berlin,
gave the impression without
clearly saying so that he fa-
vored drastic official measures
against trade with the Com
munists. Such a position is
easier for Mr.. Brandt, as a So
cialist, than for Mr.. Erhard,
who belongs to the more con-
servative Christian Democrats.
Mr.. Brandt is the Socialist
candidate for Chancellor in
1861.
The West German newspaper
reporters ouSted from East
Germany were accused of at
tempting to intimidate West
German businessmen into clos
ing their exhibits at the big
Leipzig fair in East Germany.
The reporters were Wolfgang
Marquardt of the West Ger
man news abency, DPA. and
Guenter Werner of InduStriek-
urier. an economic journal.
DPA said the Communists
had tapped telephone conver-
sations in which Mr.. Mar
quardt's home Office asked him
only to find out If West Ger
man exhibitors were taking
any notice of the Berlin situa-
ton. Mr.. Werner could not be
reached for comment.
| Meanwhile, the only reaction
of the Western powers to the
/ pressure on Berlin has been a
protest to the Russians. The
allied powers may impose re-
strictions on the travel of East
German officials to the West,
however.
