A unfair to germans certainly the Hitler regime was a horrible time in our history but that was almost 50 years ago. We cannot possibly be proud of this part of our past. However i done to see anything wrong with being proud of the Here and now. I was born almost 30 years after world War ii ended my Mother was born after the War my father was a Little boy of 1 three when in 1945 the a came to an end. My maternal Grandfather was sent to War although he was 41 because he did not join the Nada. My fathers family had to leave their farm and lands in Mahren part of today a czech Republic. They came to Hessen with nothing but the things they could carry. A lot of people have a history like that and Many did not even survive. Everybody suffered. Even if my grandparents had been nazis i would Stilt not feel guilty because it was a different time and i was not alive. Had 1 lived then could i have made a difference it is very unlikely. Anybody who tried to make a difference ended up in a concentration Camp or got killed during the hopeless Battles. For All these reasons i am sick and tired of people accusing me of being a nazi. I a Fea a Gance and am Lave arro Quot German responsibility nov. 26a response to Gunter Filippucci a Quot be our guest column of nov. 14, made me very angry. I am a 23 year old German woman. Through my entire life i have heard nothing but bad things about our history Hitler and the concentration Camps and world War ii and All its consequences. Every year in at least one class wed be taught about the nazis. Somehow it was always indicated that. Germany is not a country Worth being proud of. I never have and never will understand feelings like that. In Iii i Vav Hajj i up with people who is fid self .

Brown Naples Italy a give us a break soldiers stationed in the Southern per Lions of Germany Are at a disadvantage concerning airline Mac flights hops. It takes soldiers Here three to four hours longer to reach the Mac terminals which results in lower sequence numbers and forces longer Waits for flights. Then there a the 12 to 24-hour wait at the Airport hoping to get a flight. What upsets me very much is the fact that the soldiers that Are luckily stationed in the Frankfurt area or surrounding areas Are Able to cd me and sign up for a flight and maybe e in be Lucky enough to leave the same Day. I feel As though soldiers travelling from a greater distance should be Given priority because of the hours they spend just getting to the Airport. A sol Maurice c. Carson.

Commentary Gatt agreement important if not Ideal by the Washington Post in the end confronted with a firm deadline after seven years of quarrelling the Trade negotiators in Geneva arrived at an agreement. It will not turn out to be Ideal a and the future tense Here is Correct for there Are still months of adjustment and fiddling with details ahead. The negotiators ended by simply dropping some issues a like Protection for the French movie Industry a that had become intractable. There Are a number of disappointments. But a lot has been accomplished Here and there a a High probability that after much close Reading and analysis there Wilt be a Strong Case to enact it into american Law when Congress takes it up next year. For americans the real debate Over the agreement will probably take place next Spring and summer. This agreement Isnit the Dawn of a new i a of free Trade worldwide. Most of it represents incremental improvement in the rules of International Trade a another step in broadening and strengthening the general agreement on tariffs and Trade on which the trading countries have been working since 1947. The politics of enactment in Washington is going to be much More Complex a and for that reason possibly less passionate a than the great struggle last summer Over the North american free Trade agreement. In Naftal it was generally True that business was on one Side and labor on the other. On this new worldwide agreement some industries Are for and some against. The environmental questions Are attracting attention and some of the advocacy organizations have already opened their attack. But Here again the choices wont be simple. In some of the most difficult it will be a matter of whether to protect environmental values in one Rich country a this one a or worldwide. The initiative in this Gigantic agreement has come principally from the United states. Great credit is owed to the chief american negotiator Mickey Kantor and his staff for successfully bringing this Long process to a conclusion that will Advance the interests of both the United states and the world Economy. If you doubt that it will Advance them consider the alternative a political failure followed by a wave of protectionist litigation in various countries courts followed by rising impediments to the flow of world exports on which nearly every country is relying for economic growth and jobs in the 1990s. People bored by the intricacies of the subject May claim they cannot think of any specific Point at which this country a Many Trade agreements have Ever affected them. But their Dollar buys More because of these agreements and in the Case of most americans incomes have been raised because of them As Well.
