When Hochhuth's article appeared in the weekly Der Spiegel, Erhard, ever sensitive to personal criticism, could restrain himself no longer. "Today it has become fashionable for poets to be social critics," he exploded in a speech at Düsseldorf. "If they are, it is of course their good democratic right. But then they must permit themselves to be addressed as they deserve-as philistines and nitwits who pass judgments about things which they simply do not understand."

A similar formula (Australian ore, coal from the U.S.) has made Japan's wholly seaside steel industry the world's No. 3 producer and a formidably competitive exporter from Detroit to Düsseldorf. This competition, anguishing to German and U.S. steelmen alike, may soon sharpen. Reason: even bigger ships now in the making (up to 100,000 tons) are expected to halve the present transport costs of coal...
