Eventually the Western Allies set | up the West German Republic; the | Russians created a puppet East German government, On both sides of the line, millions of Germans longed for a single, reunited Ger- many, But a new, free, independent and | united Germany—liaked in with the West—would be the greatest eco- |nomic and military barrier to any Russian moves against Western Europe. It is no wonder the Reds have | stalled on agreements to let the vermans, East and West, have free elections to set up their own, single government. The public dis- play of how the East Germans feel about them will probably make them now even more reluc- tant to permit reunification The West Germans, or many of them, felt a need for some mili tary defense against Russian am- bitions in the West. The French wanted no part of a new German army on their frontiers.

A man did hold you up?” “Then how about wallet en how abou ir with the six Nundted dollars in- tact that Lieutenant Rose found in between the mattress and the spring of your bed?” _ (To be continued) Western Germany's Adenauer agreed. But France packed away from even that kind of setup. And the single European army idea has | been losing ground. Now as a re- | sult of the riots Germans, East and | West, renew their demands for unification. This makes tougher going for the U. S., which supported and urged the single European army plan when it became plain reuni- fication was a long way off. To» quiet the East Germans, whose uprising displayed their attitude toward Moscow, the Rus- sians may talk more about permit- ting unification. It is difficult to see their agreeing to it. But by talking unification, hold- ing out bait to the Germans, the Russians can try to mess up any U. S. efforts to push for the single European army at this time.
