East Germans EIoted Over Cuba

why the United States was
satisfied with half-a-loaf
when it could get the whole

added that Herr Ulbricht's
propaganda boys were quiet
ly telling the people that any
delay in the signing Of a
peace treaty with the USSR
is only a matter of strategy;
no one should doubt that
such a treaty will be signed
before long and East Ger
many will control "all its ter
ritory." That is to say, the
lines of communication be-
tween the outside world and
West Berlin.
The East Germans are be-
ing told that the strategy Of
Mr.. KhruShchev, who is a
peace-minded man who re-
fused to precipitate a nu-
Clear war for the sake of
humanity" is to wait for a
little time until there is a
deterioration of relations be-
tween the United States,
France and West Germany.
Furthermore, so the propa-
ganda goes, President Ken
nedy has pledged himself to
contribute wide concessions
to a solution of the Berlin
question.
There are few takers of
this propaganda in East
Germany. In fact, the num-
Der of industrial sabotage
acts has increased Substan-
TALLY since October %. But
the escapes arriving in West
Germany are losing heart
when they read West Ger
man papers. The delay in
Cuba Of inspection of the
removed missiles and the
speculations on American
concessions on Berlin have
put a damper on their hopes.
They all believe that if the
Western allies took the ini-
tiative and pressed for a
plebiscite in both Germanys,
the German problem would
be solved to the free worlds
advantage.
