The talk Of negotiation"
between the East and West
persists. But there's a GER
tain lack of realism on both
sides as to what ought to be
talked about.
One view, expressed by for
mer President Eisenhower, is
that there's nothing to nego-
tiate since the rights of the
Allies in West Berlin are well
established. Another view is
that. since the SoViets,
through their puppets in East
Germany, have sealed off
East Berlin from the other
part of the city, the main OBJ
jective of the Russians has
been attained already and
that West Berlin now is iso-
lated and seems certain 10
Wlther on the vine.
But. oddly enough, the
main issue - in fact, the only
issue - is conveniently ig-
nored by the Spokesmen of
both the East and the West.
1t is that the German people
are entitled to Self-determi-
nation.
This is. to be sure, a basic
issue worth negotiating about.
1t embodies a principle which
has been proclaimed around
the world as a fundamental
OF our present-day idealism.
1t is the principle that evokes
Russian sympathy for the
Algerians in the latter's effort
to separate from France. 1t
is the principle for which the
United Nations not only has
sent troops but Is spending
large sums Of money to get
self determination for the
people of the Congo. It is the
principle that makes other
nations eager to welcome into

countries however uneducated
they may be in the art of

Main Issue: Rights of Germans

probably no Second World
War if the Western nations
had helped the Weimar Re
public in an economic sense
in the 1920s with something
resembling the Marshall
Plan. Instead of cancelling or
reducing to manageable pro-
portions the indemnftieS or
reparations accruing fro m
World War 1, the Western
Allies unwittingly helped to
bring about the very econom-
ic depression that gave Hit
Ter his chance.
If the Western govern
ments which profess today
to be interested in the princi-
Piles of the United Nations
Charter are really in favor
of the principle Of the self
determination of peoples,
then the opportunity is at
hand for a reunited Ger
many to emerge as a peace
full partner in Europe. The
Soviet Union should be re-
quired by world opinion to
keep hands off East Ger
many, while the people there
decide for themselves their
future destiny. This would
mean withdrawal Of all So
Wet troops from East Ger
many and giving the people
there a chance to join with
their fellow countrymen in a
new German Republic.
Do the Western Allies
really believe in self-deter-
mination, or do they weakly
accept the theory that it is
impractical because the So
vietS oppose the idea? Does a
spirit of revenge still prevail
in Western Europe as war;
time bitterness is allowed to
attain an exaggerated i'm
portance in the present situa-
ton? For If Germany isn't
reunited, it could happen
that the German problem
would become a fostering
sore and some day the Ger
man people might be sti-
mulated to decide to take
measures themselves that
could produce another crisis.
Consistency requires that the
Allies at least stand up for
the self determination of the
German people or admit that
the principle no longer has
validity and that World Wars

isn't ready for this step and
that people in Western coun-
tries, as well as in Russia,
still fear the Germans. 1t is
really more of an excuse than
a valid reason.
For the German people as
a whole are inherently inter-
ested in freedom and liberty.
Germans in other parts Of
Europe and in the United
States have become as de-
voted to the cause of democ-
racy as any other citizens.
The government of West Ger
many at Bonn has, time and
again since the war ended is
years ago, demonstrated that
it knows how a democracy
should operate. Indeed, this
very month an election cam
paign resembling closely those
held in the United States or
in Great Britain is being con-
Quoted in West Germany. Yet
this point seems not to be
emphasized nowadays in con-
trast to the continued absence
of free elections in East Ger
many and in other areas
behind the Iron Curtain.
The estern nations,
which pride themselves on
their devotion to the cause
of democracy, somehow are
showing a curious indiffer-
ence to the need for a world
wide campaign in behalf of
the cause of self-determina-
tion as it affects the German
people. One would have
thought that certain Asian
and African countries would
be the first to cry out for
self determination for the
German people, too.
Certainly the progress Of
the German people in human
endeavors is well known, and
nobody disputes that they are
capable of Self-government.
The fact that they fell victim
to a dictatorship which came
about through their economic

them today from being ac-

LONDON - A three-y e ar
