X.A.14, Nov.52. - page six fact helps him very much indeed, and renders his efficiency even greater. / NOTE : I would suggest te introduee here ali the faets which Admiral Freeman will have sent on the NATIONAL GUARDIAN, in erder to attract the attention of eur American readers on this angle/ Gerst is quite popular, able, a smooth and plausible talker. He is far from the run-ef-the-mil. type. This renders him even more dangerous, Besides this front for Adenauer and the Socialist Front" there is but one force se far uncommitted and which promises te be really important in the Germanyof tomorrow : the BHE, the Bund der Heimatvertriebenen und Entrechteten, the Party of the Refugees. This party has no elear programme, in fact it has no pregramue worth mentioning at all. Its only line is that it wants te get fer the expellees whatever it can, be it at the disadvantage of the general economy of the country. It is a real special interest block.

Another great issue will be the Saar, where the Secialists accuse Adenauer of being to amenable to Freneh desires, It is certain that the sharp course of Grandval and Maurice Schumann is net easing the Chancellor's pesition, though it would be obvious that írom the Freneh point of view a success ef Adenauer today would be ef great use, while a Nationalist advance would be of great danger. On domestie issues it is interesting te note that the question of the ecenstitution is stili very much en the order of the day. Monarchis: feeling is extremely strong in Germany today, including the German youth, The great weakness of German Monar hists is the fact that they have not ene person to which te rally. The Bavarian
