Election Results Indicate That
Germany Is On Way To Democracy
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
Associated Pres Foreign Affairs Analyst
The parliamentary election in the American, Britlh and French
zonei of western Germany constitute rebirth of that militarily
defeated and partially dismembered (but far from despairing)
nation.
The election of the 402-member
Federal Parliament has resulted
in a heavy defeat for commu
nism. It has paved the way for a
conservative government If the
parties of the right form a coali
tion. These are the parties that
believe in free enterprise as op
posed to socialistic nationaliza
tion and paternalism.
Tne new (.ermany is, or course,
still deprived of the eastern por
tion which is occupied by Rus
sia. There la no indication as rb
when, if ever, the Russian zone
may be united to the western
state. Gone from the Reich also
are all its former holdings east
of the Oder and western Neisse
rivers, which have been absorb
ed by Poland and Russia.
However, I believe we are wit
nessing the revival of Germany
as a power in continental Eu
rope. She was the politico-economic
keystone of central Euroje
before the late war. She bids fair
to be so again, for the Germans
are a dynamic people.
This prospect has, of course,
been causing anxiety among the
nations which have suffered so
grievously from German aggres
sion. It is agreed among the allies
that the Reich must be kept mil
itarily ham strung to prevent any
recurrence. Still, allied states
men are taking cognizance of the
fact that the first world war was
launched by the autocracy over
which the Kaiser presided and
that world war II was decreed by
Hitler. Both wars were the prod
net of dictatorship. The allies
hope that a new and democratic
German government will hew to
the ways of peace, and that the
bitterness of many Germans over
their defeat will disappear.
An indication of the trend is
seen In the move to make Ger
many a member of the new 12
nation council of Europe which
now Is meeting in Strasbourg.
The council is a step toward the
goal projected by prominent Eu
ropean statesmen, namely: a
united Europe with member na
tions eventually erasing geo
graphical boundaries and other
existing barriers, something on
the order of the United States.
Rritaln's wartime Prime Min
ister, Winston Churchill, is said
to be one of the leading expon
ents of German membership in
the council, and Intimates expect
him to throw his great personal
Influence behind the drive. Still,
much opposition is anticipated,
especially from the British and
French governments.
The remarkable thing about all
this, of course, is that Germany
should be considered at all for
such a position, as well ai a
place In the Marshall plan, In
view of her transgressions.
In any event, the new German
government will represent the
voice of the people to an extent
never before known In the Relcn.
As the signs read the days of
autocracy and dictatorship In
Germany are gone. Prussianism,
which was so heavily respons-
Ime lor past expression, has suf
fered a death blow.
Democracy would seem to be
arriving In Germany.

the benches for slaves In the bal
cony. The Bennington Battle monu
ment, which until recently was
the highest In the world, being
302 feet high, was visited and
climbed. This monument com
memorates the battle of Benning

turning point of victory In the
Revolutionary war. The sword of
Colonel Baum, who surrendered
to General John Stark of the
Green Mountain boys, still lies in
the vault of the First National
bank of North Bennington.
Other points of interest were
the Bennington battle ground at

Vt., where the home of Robert
Lincoln, grandson of Abraham
Lincoln, Is located; Saratoga race
track at Saratoga, N. Y.; and
Willlamstown, Mass, in the Berk

Foreign Arms Bill
Facing Hot Fight
On House Floor
WASHINGTON. Aug. 18.-UP)
Socialist Norman Th o m a I
urged Congress Wednesday to
take the lead in one more at
tempt at world disarmament be
fore voting to send military sup
plies to Europe.
Thomas testified before the
combined senate foreign relations
and armed services committees
as the House prepared to open
debate on the administration's
$1,450,000,000 foreign arms bill.
House leaders said they are
confident the measure will be ap
proved, possibly by Friday, with
out substantial change in its
terms.
Thomas, many times a candi
date for president, told the sen
ators he thinks any arms ship
ments under the bill should be
delayed until a coordinated de
fense of the north Atlantic com
munity is worked out.
Today's entire session In the
House was set aside for debate,
with voting to start tomorrow.
Critics are waiting with a bar
rage of amendments to fire at
the program.lt is the Truman ad
ministration method of helping
western European nations, plus
Greece, Turkey, Iran, Korea and
the Philippines, arm against pos
sible Soviet aggression.
The men responsible for steer
ing the big measure through the
House aren't disturbed about
amendments designed to kill the
program outright.
They are concerned about pro
posals to cut the amount of the
program, to limit its length, and
to hem It in with restrictions.
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex)
predicted there would be no sub
stantial change.
