Fhe "German Problem
The newspapers write so mucfr
about the German rearmament
and discuss the pro and con. But
they" do not mention the problem
that is Germany's most burn
ing one; the problem of the ex
pelles "from the East German
territories. . . ,
At the vYalta Conference in
February, 1945, the "Big Three,"'
the U. S., U.SJS.R.; and Gr-at s
Britain agreed to place vast
areas of Eastern Germany under
direct Russian and Polish, con
trol. That decision applied to
East Prussia, Upper and Lower
Silesia, and the largest part of
Pomerania, that is to say, to
areas which are inseparable
parts, of the Reich regarding both
language and culture. Yet that
decision should -not have been
final: the; Western powers es
pecially had expressly withheld
a reservation at the occasion of
the final peace treaty with Ger
many. The Polish and the Rus
sians gained the right of admin
istration only, but as a mattar
of fact, Eastern Germany has
been annexed by them.
So it happened that the boun
. dary of the potent Communistic
colossus expanded to the Oder-Neisse-Line,
approximately one
hour's drive from Berlin. Ac
cording to the Yalta Conference
the entire German population
was supposed to leave their
homeland in which their fathers
and grandfathers, had lived for
700 years. That meant a tremen
dous stream of 11 or 12 million
refugees moving from the East
to the Vest. The turning out
should have been executed
under 'humanitarian' conditions.
But the Polish and Russian
authorities did not care about
any agreements and usually
within a few hours they put the
Germans into stock-cars" like
cattle in order to move them out
to West Germany. The Germans
did not have much to take with
them; they had already lost
their property. With the expul
sion of 11 million occurred one
of. the most far-reaching changes
of the population and of eco
nomic structure of the whole
German history. Besides the
three traditional classes con
sisting of the workers,; of. the
. employees and small business
men and those of higher in
telligence a fourth class arose;
a class of people deprived of
their rights, the refugees.
With a bitter feeling of in
justice these crowds of expelles
poured into West Germany,
What to do with these" 11 mil
lion? Where" shall they live?
Where the coal miner from
Upper Silesia find a job? Where
the physician from KOenigsberg
and where the technician from
Breslau?.
So questions were raised
which the German" authorities
could solve only, imperfectly and
which are still pressing for a
satisfactory solution. In the
meanwhile, many of the expelles
have been able to continue their
old professions and they have
been placed at jobs .according to
their qualifications. Likewise,
the housing situation, most dan
gerous particularly since 1945,
has been improved to a large
extent. With the help of the
Marshall-Plan-Aid - many hous- .
ing developments were built in
the cities, particularly, for the
benefit of the expelles. The Bonn
Government is trying to support
those who are incapable of
working. Students receive
limited scholarships so that
they are enabled to complete
.their studies. But still the
number of the unemployed and
of those who live in wretched
hovels and barracks is large. -
The expelles need more helpi
not only material but also psy
chological arid moral, both from
foreign countries and Germany
herself. The problem of the Ger
man expellees has has become an
European problem because of
its proportion. The expellees
"do not like Communism, having
already had experience with it.
They have preserved a strong
self -discipline and they have
much hope in the free Western
world. ' .

Chamber Music
Reviews and Previews
Last Sunday night members
of the honorary music frater
nity, Phi Mu Alpha, presented
a rewarding selectfon of music
for the most part unheard, even
unheard of. . Under the direc
tion of Joseph C. Wood, Jr., the
University Brass Choir did a
lusty job with a group of several
seventeenth and eighteenth cen
tury pieces.
Especially enjoyable were two
pavans by Melchior Franck
(1573-1693) and a sonata (com
poser unknown) from the Bank
elsangexlieder. The central part
of the program contained the
only familiar (to this reviewer)
piece of ihc evening: Mozart's
chaming Trio in G major
(KL DC4). The performance by
George Bennette (violin), Mary
' Giey Cltrk Ocello), and Robin
whole, admirable; though I
wished at times for a better
balance between violin (too
loud) and 'cello (too soft). All
three . performers clearly loved
the music, and their affection
showed in the rendition.

Madam Editor:
As a student of the publicity
plagued law school of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, I feel
that the vituperative Associated
Press release exposing so-called
atrocious segregation practices
merits comment by one more
closely associated with the
school than the reporters seem
to be. ,
Though a subjective opinion,
I feel that it could be truthfully
stated that the general concensus
in law school is that Negro stu
dents deserve and should have
equality of education. This be
. lief was shown particularly in
so far as the officials are con
cerned when U.N.C. became the
first Southern law school to ad
mit Negro law students without
being required to do so by court
order. .
In commenting on the falla
cious argument of Pearson that
since the students were heads
of their class iri N. C. College,
they should be here, I feel sure
that this is a definite insult to
both students and faculty. Stu
dents are graded according to .
the knowledge of a particular
subject they display in writing
final exams at the end of each
semester. This is done on a
relative basis in that each stii-.
dent's paper is compared with
papers - submitted by the class
as a whole,and if said student
merits a high grade by showing"
an understanding superior to
that of the remainder of the
class, the appropriate grade is
assigned. If the present Negro
students do not display this hid
den talent they are supposed to
possess, it is hardly likely that
legal action will create extran-
- eous proof of said talent, on ex
aminations to be given during
the month of May.
It would seem that many
white students who were prone
to make excellent marks in un
dergraduate school to the point
of becoming Phi Beta Kappa,
are now lolling in the doldrums
of at least the lower two-thirds
of their class. To draw an anal
ogy within the law school itself,
many students who were able to
secure positions on the N. C.
Law Review during the past
year, found their positions ser- m
iously threatened by unantici
pated low grades.
If the present threats mater
ialize into litigations, I as one
of the intimidated white . stu
dents of the University Law
School would like to secure As
sociated Press help in seeking to
be joined, as plaintiff with the
NAACP in order that our rights
might be guaranteed by court
injunction. It is suggested that
this might be accomplished by
the formation of a new organi
zation with the suggested title,
NAAWP, National Association
for the Advancement of White
People.

ing elections have - almost ex
clusively been for, the purpose oi
electing Ike Eisenhower to th
L. presidency .This Is in good fast,
for Mr. Eisenhover is a good
man but I like our present gov
ernmeht policies, especially the
economic ones.
When the Democratic Party!
took over in March 1033, the
country was depleted due in the
most part to the economic ideo
logy of the Republican party,
Under Roosevelt the cause c4
the depression was determined
to be a lack of spending on the
part of the people and that the'
reason they did not spend moxts
was because there was
enough, money in circulation.
Since that time the economic
policy of the Democratic party
has been to get as much money
in circulation as possible.. Also
inflation will not last as soon
as the war - situation is passed
and our productive resources
have been diverted' into their
proper channels there will be
plenty of goods for everyone at
reasonable prices. Not depres
sionary prices, because the Dem
ocratic party will continue its
policy of providing a surplus of
money. .
The Democratic policy of
plentiful money has greatly
raised the standard of living f
our population and it has helped
the workers and the farmers.
It has kept unemployment at a
minimum and has increased our
productive capacity.
