Yet East Germany, which Rus
STA occupies, comprises the area
that produced 70 per cent of
Germany's pre-war food.
Reports in Berlin point to
great dissatisfaction among the
farmers whom the Soviets have
sought to collectivize.
West Berlin Future Dark
But while West Berlin. with
good economic conditions, pre-
sentS a sharp contrast with East
Berlin, the future of this once
proud capital of world power is
not bright. ..
True it is an important indus
trial workshop. Figures can b.
cited to show that the Western
sector Of the city is on fairly
solid economic ground.
But he city is isolated - ITO
mules 9. the nearest point - in
side Soviet East Germany where
Russia and the East Germans
combined have 300 900 troops.
The FESTIVE young Berliners
are aware OF this and are mov-
Ing westward. despite the spe-
clal concessions being made for
them III taxes and other bene-
fits. to encourage their remain
ing in West Berlin.
There is need for additional
skilled labor and additional
children. The government pro-
vided additional pay for each
new child born to d West Berlin
couple. But. despite these incen-
hves, Berlin is an underpopu-
lated city. .
Statistics Speak Loudly
These statistics speak loudly.
OF 1900, 900 West Berliners, 400
600 or Is per cent are over IS
years of age. "-.
In 1861, nearly twice as many
West Berliners died as were
born, $4,000 TO $4,000.
4 West Berlin is a symbol of
western resistance to comm,m-
ism. And the two Berhns, East
and West, present side -by-side a
remarkable showcase of the adj
Vantages Of the West as COM
pared with the Soviet system.
But the two Berlins together
stand today as dramatic evi-
dence of the folly OF war with
the ruins Of 5000 buildings in
the Western sector alone yet to
be cleared from a war that end
ed II years ago.
FROM preWar population of
80 million, il has been dinin-
lshed by 40 per cent to 3.3 mil
lion, Partly because of this
shrinking city, Germany today
is an armed camp with nearly
one million men in uniform on
her soil: 100000 U. S. troops.
100000 Russians and East Ger
mans ard 10000 West Germans.
I Berlin is likely to continue a
political and military powder
keg for a long time. Yet what
ever the outcome, for Berlin
herself the future is a dark one.

BERLIN-In this divided city
an explosive focal point in the
battle between the Free World
and Communism, there's a slow
and almost imperceptible flow
OF people westward.
The once great surge of popu-
latlon from enSlaved East Berlin
to free West Berlin had had its
share of publicity. Not SO well
known, however, is steady de
cline in West Berlin's population
as the pressues of the Cold Wa,
continue to exact their toll on
this ancient capital.
Lack of Optimism
While West Berlin, a city $50
lated ITO miles inside Soviet
East Germany, stands as a sym
Dol of western resistance to
communism. there is a continu-
ing lack of optimism on the part
OF her people as to their futma
This is evident in population fig
ures that reflect the fact that
the city's younger men and
women are leaving for brighte,
futures in Western Germany.

the young, you have to picture
Berlin as it eXlSts-and has ex-
listed since World War III, par
ticularly, since the Communists
walled off their part Of it last
year.
