Friday. October 2i. I766 ICARLET AND BLACK German Professor Discusses Europe's Future Last Thursday evening in R0- berts, Dr. Kartkristoph Schweit- zer o! Berlin’s Free University spoke on “Germany, DeGaulle, and Europa" He viewed West Germany as a country promot- ing wider European integration and De Gaulle as a 19th century throwback blocking such efforts. He also altered his own thesis for understanding German his- tory of the last seventy years. These years, he said, have seen constant neurotic shiits in German thought from a view of national superiority to one or national inferiority. Alter 1948, he said, Germany was set- tling down to a medium position, but De Gaulle’s nationalism has stimulated an incipient German nationalism. Dr. Schweitzer said that Ger- man policy makers, unlike many foreign policy makers today. have three general goals. First, Germany wants to work for an integrated Europe, a European community. He cited Article 2A of the Federal Republic’s consti- tution which authorizes the gov- ernment to surrender national sovereignty to a greater Euro- pean community. This goal has been supported by the "greater majority" or Germans. Second, West Germany wants reunifica- [ion of Germany. Third, West Germany wants peace and has renounced war as a means of diplomacy. Despite internation- al cliches about peace, Dr. Schweitzer said. “This goal is taken very seriously in Ger- many and in Europe.” All par- ties in W. Germany support these goals and believe none should be carried out at the expense of the other. De Gaulle Out of Tune “De Gaulle," Schweitzer said, is "out of tune with the majority of his countrymen, Presiding over a titular democracy, he has restored order to French politics ~and for this We should be gratciui — hot the question is who next. in foreign policy gen- erally he is intellectually over- rated. There are more inconsis- PurseII Publishes A paper which Lyle E.

He Is influenced by the love of the spectacular." Schweitzer cited French policy in SE Asia as one example of inconsistency. There the French represent a colonial power yet are liberally mani- pulating antircolonial feeling. Schweitzer believes De Gaulle has Slowed the impetus for European integration but can. not stop it. De Gaulle’s goal of a Europe tor itselr has negative effects on Nato and to Schweit- zer is inconsistent. De Gaulle will not give up Nato but gives up an integration in the alli- ance which is its basis. “In his heart," Schweitzer quipped, “De Gaulle must know he's wrong. His is a prestige policy that is nonsense realistically.“ In the long mm, it is disaster- ous. We should work to keep up a triangular relationship be- tween Washington, Paris, and Bonn and look forward to a post De Gaulle era. The concept of an Atlantic partnership is still a healthy one." Discontent Over viet Nam in iurther conversations with the 58:13, Schweitzer said there was “great discontent" in Ger many about the viet Nam War. It is viewed as a “tragedy." an unnecessary aiiair which the majority or Germans accept but do not support with any enthusi- asm and do not want to see escalated, There is a small mi- nority in the German universi- ties that believes the US. should get out. Ultimately, he said, we should seek a solution 67,# 7 Air Conditioned SERVING I4 KINDS OF PIZZA Hours Mon. time Set. — 4 pm. to i a. Son. -— 4 pin. to Midnight FREE DELIVERY TO ROOMS SPECIAL :12.

With regard to German poli- tics, Schweitzer said, “l’ll bet you ten bottles of champagne that Erhard is out by ‘69." Ger- many is facing an economic crisis of immense proportions that Will politically help the Democratic Socialists. The question for the latter, he said, is whether Willy Brandt can continue to lead the Socialists and assume Erhard's position, The crisis involves partly an economic overcommitment to foreign countries and temporar- ily dampen German interest in European integration, Right now, it a vote of Confidence similar to the procedure in the House or Commons were taken @- LII the Parliament. Schweitzer believes Erhard would lose. But, he said, the German par- liament has what he called a unique positive vote of confi- dence.” Under this procedure no leader can be removed with- out another one to replace him. Right now there is no one or succeed Erhard. On other matters, Schweitfler said incipient German nation- alism is not the result (if US. interests in Europe. The United States is still quite popular in West Germany and its forces are seen as necessary, despite the internal divisions Within the Eastern European commu- nist bloc. Although he said we should promote these divisions within Eastern Europe, we must not delude ourselves about the potential threat that Soviet Pug-Ii to power utilihaa.

The German army. he said, is a defensive one and necessary but is viewed warily in Germany itself. Germany does not want nuclear weapons but reels it has the right to have more decision — making power on their use in Germany.
