...army for the new West German Republic is essential and inevitable. In the face of an East German, Red-armed puppet state, a Western Germany capable of defending itself is necessary to the successful defense of all Western Europe. This view has been forcefully expressed by Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery, chief of Western Union's joint command, and is the opinion of most, if not all, top U.S. military men.

As Montgomery sailed from Manhattan last week, ship newsmen asked him about Columnist Drew Pearson's story on Monty's conferences with U.S. Chief of Staff Omar Bradley and others.

Answering Vansittart for the government, Viscount Jowitt, Britain's Lord Chancellor, brought cheers when he announced that the government was setting up a committee to consider changes in the law which made Tass libel-proof. To illustrate Tass's mendacity, Viscount Jowitt read a Tass report in Moscow's Literary Gazette of how Londoners "supplement their starvation rations ...
