Adenauer's Visits Dramatic Evidence of Rebirth off Nation Devastated by War
Editor's not: This If th second In a
series of three dispatrhes on the as
toniialnf comeback of Western Germany.
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
United Pre. Correspondent
Bonn, Germany '.U.R; Early
next month a ramrod stiff old
German of 80 will board an air
liner bearing the blue griffon
emblem of the reborn German
Lufthansa and wing his way
across the Atlantic.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
will be on his way to confer
. with President Eisenhower and
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles.
Adenauer's trip to Washington
and his recent visits to Lon
don, Paris and other world capi
tals are dramatic evidence of
the "German miracle," the re
birth of a nation utterly de
vastated by war and just 11
years later again one of the great'
powers.
Hardly a major international
get-together is held these days
without Adenauer or his chain
smoking foreign minister. Dr.
Henrich von Brentano, being
called in for consultation. Von
Brentano is the man pinpointed
by Adenauer as his own succes
sor some day.
Admitted To NATO
Almost 10 years to the day
fter Nazi Germany capitulated,
Adenauer's Bonn Republic was
admitted to NATO as its 16th
member. It also became a mem
ber of the seventh nation West
European Alliance.
Today West Germany also is
a member of the Organization
for European Economic Coopera
tion, the Strasbourg Council of

Europe, the European Coal-and-Steel
Community, the European
Payments Union, the . World
Health Organization and UNES
CO to name a few.
It would be a member of the
United Nations if its entry were
not blocked by the Soviets.
Last year an immense new
foreign office building, costing
several million deutschmarks,
was completed in Bonn, over
looking the swift-flowing Rhine
river. It houses the 1200 offi
cials master-minding the hust
ling diplomacy of the nation that
again has become a major factor
in world politics.
To the shiny new foreign of
fice and the gleaming white
chancellory building, the Sch
aumburg palace where Ade
nauer's own office looks out
across the Rhine to the fabled
Seven Hills, have come in the
past year the ministers of many
nations. Among them were the
United States, Britain, France,
Italy, Ireland, Belgium, Den
mark, Greece, Yugoslavia. Tur
key, Egypt, Ceylon, Iran, Thail
and, Liberia and even little Ice
land. To all Adenauer and Brentano
put these points:
1. Come what may, West Ger
many will remain a firm and
loyal ally of the West.
2. German reunification must
be in the forefront of any East
West cold war settlement.
Nazism Dead
Adenauer never tires of tell
ing his callers that these are two
principles from which West Ger
man foreign policy never will
deviate. He also never tires of
insisting that Germany is a re
liable ally and that there is no
danger of a rebirth of Nazism or
of her turning around and mak
ing a deal with the Russians.
However, he warned in a re
cent United Press interview that
West Germans always will have
to keep their guards up to defend
their democracy against either
leftist or rightist extremists.
Western diplomats here share
Adenauer's optimism that there
is no serious danger from either
.former Nazis . or Communists.
The Supreme Court outlawed the
only neo-Nazi movement that
made so much as a ripple on
German politics. And the tiny
Communist party failed to win
even a single seat in the Parlia
ment in the last election.
. West Germany's parliamen
tary democracy, though barely
seven years old, has provided
this country with the most stable
government of any European
nation in post-war years.
So it will be with head high will go, to Washington next
and conferring from a position month to talk with the man who
of great strength that Adenauer once would not even deign to
accept Germany's surrender.
Tomorrow: The rebirth of the
German military.
