West Must Deal
With East Germany

If the Western powers per-
sist in refusing to sign a Ger
man peace treaty, we shall
have to settle this problem
without them. =.
1t goes without saying that
in the case the German Demo-
cratic Republic would attain
full sovereignty and therefore,
the question of the use Of COM
munications with West Berlin
running across Its territory
would have to be decided by
agreement with the CDR Cast
Germany government. AS TO
the agreements between the
USSR and the western n
powers on the question of
access to West Berlin con-
cluded during the occupation
period, they will become null
and void. =.
l should like to repeat once
more that by concluding a
peace treaty with the CDR we
do not intend to infringe upon
any lawful interests Of the
Western powers. Barring of ac-
cess to West Berlin, blockade
of West Berlin is entirely out
of question. All this is only a
Pigment of imagination of those
who want to incandensce the

We shall watch the further

the numerical strength of the

One request was signed by

other was signed by the nine
nations of the Soviet bloc. OF
the African-ASian group, Japan

Tunisia accuses France of
aggression and refusal to with

Tunisians also demand that
France negotiate a complete
withdrawal of all its troops,
not only from the Bizerte base
but also from Sahara border

Western Powers
Building Up for War

The United States Of Amer
lea and the other Western pow
ers are building up forces for
war. They are. appropriating
tremendous sums for arma-
ments. -. The other imperialist
powers are also spending tre-
mendouS sums on armaments.
This shows that the imperial
lists again are trying to nail to
their mast the policy of rolling
back" the Socialist countries,
proclaimed in his time by
Omitted States Secretary of
State) Dulles.
But the admirers of such a
policy ought to bear in mind
the real balance of power now
obtaining in the world.
Mr.. Kennedy, the President
Of the United States, said dur
ing our talks in Vienna that a
balance of power had now been
established between the two
world camps and that a direct
clash between the U.S.S.R. and
the United States must be pre-
vented because such a clash
would have the most disastrous
consequences. In this case Mr..
Kennedy took a sober view of
things and displayed a definite
realism. This must be granted
to him. However, life demands
that statesmen should not only
say reasonable things but also
should not permit themselves
in politics to cross the line
I when the voice of reason falls
silent and a blind and danger
sous game with the destinies of
peoples and states begins.
by will of the Western pow
ers more inflammable material
has been stockpiled in the CEN
ter of Europe than in any other
region of the world. It is here
that the flame of a world war
again threatens to break out.
After the Western powers
have trampled under foot the
Allied agreements on the de-
militarization and democratic
zation Of Germany, only a peace
treaty can forestall the danger

The STRAC troopers, whose

The I'd Airborne Battle
Group of the 5O1st Infantry
led the airborne assault, the
first big airdrop of Exercise
Swift Strike. The first trooper
out of the troop carrier planes
was Col. @. M. Griswold, COM
mander of the battle group and
a member Of the 501st 20 years
ago.
The Jump began at 10 am,
after an hours delay caused by
ground fog. The sky was slight

numbered in low over the drop
zones. The aerial assault by
$500 paratroopers and drops of
heavy equipment were to con-
tinue for about five hours.

Criticizes u. S. Stand
On Treoty,Proyisions

In his recent speech the
President of the United States
Of America said the United
States faces a challenge of
some kind from the Soviet
Union, that there is a threat
to the freedom of the people
of West Berlin. that the Soviet
Union was all but ready to use
force. But he did not say a
single word about the sub
stance of the matter, about the
fact that the Soviet Union pro-
poses to conclude a peace
treaty with Germany, and that
it strives to work out the terms
of his treaty jointly with all
states that took part in the war
against Germany. After listen
ing to the speech Of their Pres
ident the American people
might indeed get the idea that
it is not the vestiges of the
last war that we want to elm
mate, but to start a third world
war. -.
If anyone did allow himself
to resort to threats it was the
United States President. He
did not stop at presenting us
something in the way Of an
ultimatum in reply to the pro-
posal to conclude a peace
treaty with Germany. AS if to
reinforce his threats, the Pres
ident announced an increase
of the strength Of the armed
forces by 217,000 men and the
American Senators started to
trumpet about the need for
mobilizing certain classes Of
reservists.
A military hysteria is now
being drummed up in the
United States. At the same
time, there are some who are
conditioning the American peo-
pie to the idea that there would
be nothing particularly ter
rible even If war does break
out. But on the part of Amer
lean leaders, it would be GRIM
inal thoughtleSsness to expect
in earnest that after unleash
ing war against Socialist states
it would be possible to keep it
within certain bounds.
If a clash does occur between
the two giants-the Soviet
Union and the United States
of America-which possess
powerful economies and great
stockpiles of nuclear weapons,
it goes without saying. that
neither of the sides would be
ready to admit defeat without
having used all weapons, in
cluding the most destructive
ones.
Comrades, it must be said
frankly that at present the
Western powers are pushing
the world to a dangerous d.
vide, and the emergence of a
threat of armed attack by i'm
perialists on Socialist states
cannot be excluded ,
We are convinced that if the
question of whether or not
there would be a war will de-
pend on reasonable people in
the Western countries. they
would not allow war to break
out. But if people possessed by
the suicidal mania take the
upper hand, one cannot vouch
for them.

Plastic Panels
For Privacy

Of the wide variety of ma
terials available for fences
and Screen walls, one that
offers unusual advantages is
plastic paneling. The panels
come in a range of colors
and are adaptable for use
in various ways. BY select
ing neutral colors or muted
ones, you can blend them in
with your landScape-or by
using contrasting ones. you
can make them stand out as
strong individual features.
The panels are semi-trans-
lucent. allowing some light
to penetrate, yet they are
dense enough to insure
privacy.
Though they are light in
weight and easy to handle.
they are also strong and
tough. Unlike many outdoor
screening materials, the
panels are rust and rot
proof. and erquire no paint
ing or other maintenance.
Furthermore, they may be
drilled sawed and nailed to
wood or bolted to metal. If
you bolt your panels to
aluminium framework you
will have the ultimate in a
