Abstract

Germany, Germany !

The article presents implications of the signing of contractual agreements among foreign ministers in Bonn, Germany and of the European Army Pact in Paris, France on developments in Germany. The most serious consequence of last weeks acts is that the natural area of eventual agreement between East and West has been blown to pieces. Once determined upon, the policy of making Germany the "hard core of the European military alliance against Russia will impose more and more concessions, greater and greater aid, increasing dependence upon West Germany armed might. The fact that only twenty-four hours after the signatures were blotted, it was announced that the Bonn Republic would be allowed to fabricate tanks and artillery of all sizes, indicates all too clearly what is going to happen. In any case the developments at Bonn and Paris have made a return to diplomacy more difficult than ever.
