Thanks to the Communists, however, trade in the north is now at a standstill, and there is heavy industrial unemployment. French and neutralist Indian businessmen are moving out. All but Communist official cars have disappeared.

The leading light on the left is pipe-smoking Herbert Wehner, 48, a devious, rambunctious orator and former Communist (1927-43). Wehner prefers to move quietly in the background of the SPD, whispering his neutralist notions into Ollenhauer's hospitable ear, bombarding the party executive with confidential memos...
