The controls exercised by the occupation authorities should be exercised so i not a hamper the full develop ment of German political eco nomic and cultural life continue to seek Unity full support and encouragement will a Given to democratic Force sin Germany.

In spite of Many obstacles we shall continue to seek a Way to Advance this Unity. The cily of Berwin which found Suc i ,1 Simpri thetic response among the Iree people of the world will continue to receive the Aid and support of the people of the . Its strength and spirit can give a Sor and life to the new Germany and ail measures to bring it closer to the people of the Western Republic will be is american policy to Foster air Trade practices through program of Decarter station and Deconter tuntion of if american policy that per sons and organizations deprived of their properly As a. Result of Naz racial and poli ical discrimination should either have heir property returned to them or adequate compensation Given that persons who suffered personal damage or injury through nazi persecution because of racial religious or ideological reason should be indemnified. Their wrongs can never be completely redressed but in All decency they must be faced and dealt wit without evasion or subterfuge. A recovery built on a disregard of these obligations would be false and would constitute an Omen of future disaster. Shocked by Berlin actions in connection with these policies 1 should like to emphasize the following we have All been shocked by the recurrence of the soviet efforts to depress the life of the people of Berlin by interruptions in and the slowing Down of the Normal traffic Between the Western zones and that City. It i quite Clear that protests or expressions of indignation at the callousness of such action have no effect on those who employ these measures. I am not going to threaten or to says Saar solution must not stir bitterness speak of what specific measure the commission May. In conjunction with he Federal Republic apply to this situation if it con Lainuee All i feel i should do i that the present harassment will no More succeed than did the former. Whatever the com missioners and the Western re Public find it necessary to do to Aid the City and to destroy the effect of these interferences will i knew have the support at the people of the . Statesmanlike solution i would also like to say a jew words about the Saar. Whatever the solution it must not stand inthe Way of he great concept of Germany s participation in the organization of Western Europe. A sensible statesmanlike solution can readily be found and far too much is at stake to permit this Josue to become again the starting Point for internal political Maneu vering leading Only to embittered Franco German misunderstanding. Whatever our policies May be i whatever Aid we May Render it cannot be too often repeated thai Only the German people hold the key to their own peaceful an prosperous future. They must therefore do some very straight thinking regarding their position in the High Ivy take Pride in the world citizenship represented by men like Goethe and Beethoven these men did not think in terms of Frankfurt Bonn Stuttgart Hamburg or even Germany. The were men of the world. Today after a disaster of such enormous i a Ert Kins As world War ii i Vlra Ordinary opportunities exist in Germany for a reappraisal of values and a break wish the traditions which hitherto have resulted in misery and disaster. The fir rive o � Germany is not Anical National question. It is an integral part of a great work problem. 11 requires maturity of though and expression As Well ass ability of a Ion. Germany tart readily acquire a position in he world by giving the sign of a regenerated spirit a spirit which fre Peoples All Over the world would quickly such action Germany can acquire a world position which no amount of German political a neutering Between two great world Powers could Ever create. It is this world concept and world responsibility which the politician he teacher the pastor the philos opher of new Germany must present. It is the Antithesis of the concept of world domination with which false senders deluded the German people to the Point of destruction and even disgrace. Urges vigilance by All one other admonition if i May venture to state it. I say this with the Earnes Ness derived from experiences in my own country. If the people of the United their Long tradition of democracy must remain vigilant cer mainly the German people who have so recently emerged from one of the worst abuses of individual Freedom in history must Beever on the Alert. It is essential that every German and not Only courageous few should recognize his own responsibility in the Protection of individual rights and of the processes of Justice. It is the Price of All Security but most particularly of the Security of the elimination of nazi influence is stressed individual. It is so easy to let Hinss Drift to ignore the danger signal until Only heroes and mar yrs Dove oppose the accumulated Force of i wish to emphasize that one of the primary purposes of the occupation has been and is o eradicate nazi influence an leadership from German political economic and cultural life. That principle is written into the fed eral end Ian 3 constitutions. The Federal and Hind governments have he duty to take adequate measures to protect the German people against a revival of nazism in any form. Critical period at hand we will work with and support the efforts of those who honestly and sincerely seek to accomplish that purpose. On the other hand we shall not hesitate to use Allour Power and influence to expose and counteract any subversive influences which condone or encourage the revival of nazism Ingerman life. If the German people Hope again to take their place in he Community of free nations they must demonstrate their Wilto insist upon an honest and Vig Orous enforcement of that the life of each nation there Are critical periods of , five years after the a official notification has been received by Safe from the depart ment of the air Force that it toot anticipated that Safe will be required to separate any additional Reserve officers below the Grad of lieu tenant colonal during the remainder of the fiscal year 1950.
