...North Korean power plants which supply not only 90% of all power for Communist North Korea, but also power for Communist Manchuria. The principal target was the great Suiho power project on the south bank of the Yalu, keystone of the hydroelectric development which pipes electricity to the Chinese "Ruhr" in Manchuria, to Soviet bases in Port Arthur and Dairen, and to the Russian port of Vladivostok. It lies only 3,000 ft. from Manchurian soil. The bombers spared giant Suiho Dam itself...
...learned in my life that compromise with the property-owning class is also impossible," was Schumacher's unanswering answer. He believes that the Russians, knowing they would lose East Germany in any free election, might be willing to lose it in return for a united, neutral Germany whose Ruhr industries sell impartially to the East & West. Germany would probably then have to give up its participation in the European Army; Schumacher is quite willing to. America's atomic bomb is deterrent enough to hold off the Russians, he says. This line of argument is highly persuasive-to Germans...
...again somewhat too sharp." His byword, they insist, is not nein, but ja, aber so nicht-which means "yes, but not this way." Schumacher himself professes to be hurt that the West misunderstands him so.

He is convinced that the allies favored Adenauer because he is more tractable and conservative: What can you expect of the Wall Street lawyers and bankers who have run the occupation?

Industry: Red China's Ruhr is a small triangle in the center of Manchuria, formed by Mukden, Anshan and Fushun. Under Japanese occupation (1931-45) it became perhaps the greatest industrial complex Asia had ever known. Then the Russians expertly looted it: steel plants with a 1,500,000-ton capacity were left with enough machinery for 500,000 tons; the big generators at the Sungari Dam, which fed power to the Mukden area, were carted...
What reparations could ever make amends for the six million Jews wiped out by Hitler's Germany? "Dollars for the gas chamber-impossible!" cried the Ruhr's Westdeutsche Neue Presse. The Germans, cold and businesslike, did not want to dwell on these past horrors. The Jews, an official delegation from Israel, did not want the Germans to consider their unpayable debt paid. So no one talked about the wasted bodies, parchment-white, stacked high in Nazi extermination camps. Yet that was what the negotiations were really about last week, in a suburb of The Hague...
