EDITORIAL COMMENT
Wilson Sounds Bad <
One of the flfst pronounce
ments of the new boss of the
British Labor Party Harold Wil
son, was a statement to the ef
fect that Great Britain should
recognize East Germany. Na
turally, this was a melancholy
note in Bonn, and would greatly
weaken the tie between Britain
and West Germany should Wil
son become the next British
Prime Minister. . '
Wilson's words will have great
appeal for the Russians, for the
foundation of postwar Soviet pol
icy Is that Germany muM be
kept divided. That calls for tw<?
Germanys.
Bonn, and West Germans (and
a number of East Germans as
well) refuse to accept any per
martent division of Germany. The
Government of West German
even refuses to maintain offi
cial relation with any country
which recognized the East Ger
man communist regime, which
is considered merely a Moscow
stooge.. "
Britain .and the United States
have adhered to the West^Ger
man view quite . logically, for
this is an intensely deep con
viction among Germans. T.hey
probably feel more^ejosely and
intensely the desire for .unifica
tion -than some of us .realize.
Wilson's* unfortunate attitude
plays into the hands of both Pres^
i dent Charles BeGaulle and Mos-N
^ow. Americans can only hope
-on the basis of this statement
and Wilson's forthcoming tfip
to Mos<;ow-tMat he ijs not to be
the next British Prime Minis

Nationalization
The United States is one of the
) few cotftatries where sentiment
has not been very strong for na
tionalization of certain indus
tries, at one time or the other.
In Western Europe, and in Asia
and Africa and in all the under
developed nations, the trend to
ward some nationalization of in
dustry has been a reality for the
last fifty years, or even longer.
In Great Britain, our former
mother country, the Labor Par
ty, gaining power, after World
War. II, forced the nationaliza
tion of certain industries such
as the railroads. They also na
tionalized steel but the Conser
vatives, returning to power , de
nationalized steel, and it is a
private industry today.
In Italy, the electric power in
dustry has recently been nation
alized or partly nationalized. In
many other European countries
some of the basic industries, like
transportation, electricity, the
tel^i^jones ?tc.,. have been na
tionalised, ,either recently, or' in

the earlier ye^snrf-ttie century.
The United States, then .stands
as a bulwark against nationali
zation and socialism (though we
practice some forms, of social-x
ism in our government, not call
ing it by name). One of the key
reasons why we in the United
states must keep our country
strong and continue to set an ex
ample to the rest of the world,
is the need for demonstrating
that the private ownership prin
ciple, the free enterprise sys
tem, as we practice it, is the
best system for free peoples.
The only common -sense re
medy to our situation is tocon
centrate our ^id efforts on our
own United States economy, and
economic health.
