EVERYTHING CAN BE DIFFERENT
(New World News Service)
The great high-ceilinged meeting hall at Mountain
House was filling rapidly. Men and women from over
30 nations poured eagerly through the doors and took
their seats.
They received an unforgettable welcome. On the plat-!
form in front of the huge fireplace the French chorus
began to sing a song in German, “Everything Has Got to
Be Different.” The atmosphere in the hall was electric
as this chorus sang to their former enemies from the bot
tom of their hearts.

Day after day during the next weeks overwhelming
evidence was given of a new element coming into every,
facet of German life. Germany, the symbol of tragic di
vision is yet finding the secret of unity. The “spirit of
Caux” exported into Germany is making the difference.
The opportunity facing Germany today was pointed out
by a German editor as he spoke straight to his country
men: “As individuals and as a nation we missed a tre
mendous chance when we failed to say an unconditional
al ‘No’ to the false destiny held out to us in 1933. Let us
not miss the chance to say ‘Yes’ now to the true destiny
held out to us by Moral Re-Armament.” ** J
During the past year the effect of Moral Re-Arma
ment has been felt in industry, in the press, in the
schools and universities, in the mining areas and in
countless homes throughout Germany. In some in- j
stances the political life in certain sections has been pro
foundly altered. Two political opponents from Wurt
temberg-Baden gave a colorful account of an incident
which occurred following a municipal election in one of
their districts. Paul Rausch, chairman of the Christian
Democratic Party and Price Control Director of Wurt
temberg-Baden spoke first:
“The municipal election in the district of Korntali
brought to the surface much bitterness, dissension and
personal animosity between the representatives of the
different parties. I decided to go and see my political
opponents and talk with them, particularly about the
mistakes I myself had made. Until that moment I had
never really applied the principles of Moral Re-Arma
ment in my political life. Nobody threw me out! And as
I talked to them about by own mistakes they were more
than interested. The result was beginning of teamwork.”
Alfred Volz, his opponent and leader of the Peoples]
Democraitc party took up the story from there:
“When Mr. Bausch admitted his own responsibility
for the bad atmosphere in our political life, the ice
melted. Instead of trying to use every advantage to our
own end a new trust began to be the determining factor
in our relations. We now have a regular four party
Round Table which plans for the whole community.
“The news of our working together spread like wild
fire. There were so many who wanted to know what had
happened that we had to hold an open meeting and give
a report. So many attended that meeting that loud
speakers were used outside for the ones who couldn’t
get in. People are tired of politicians who waste their
time fighting one another. But politicians who have
found the secret of working together—they interest ev
erybody.”
Dr. Rudolf Pechel is a fighter. For years he was a
leader in the resistance movement within Germany. In
1942 he was put in jail by the Nazis. Now he is editor
of the German equivalent of the “Atlantic Monthly”:
“Deutsche Rundschau.” With courage and determina
tion he has given to his country the news of Moral Re
Armament. It has not been easy. He spoke of his fight
in Berlin. He himself ran a series of broadcasts which
gave stories of what had happened at Caux and was hap
pening throughout the world. The result was* that so
many thousands of letters poured in he had to open a
special office to handle them. Then in June he arranged
a series of public meetings and discovered that all over
the city there were groups springing up who wanted to
work in the same spirit.
But there were those in Berlin who did not like what
Dr. Pechel was doing. After his June fifth broadcast, Ra
dio Berlin (the Voice of Moscow) went on the air in a
direct attack of MRA and Dr. Pechel. Eloquently they
denounced him as a “reactionary.” Simply and directly
Dr. Pechel replied. He was'sorry that they had failed to
understand that his aim was not to be anti-Communist,
but he felt it vitally important to bring an answer to
those questions which they had signally failed to answer.
Last year these men returned armed with the hand
book, “Everything's Got to Change,” 800,000 copies of
which were sold in every zone of Germany. This year
they will have another weapon. The industrial drama,
“The Forgotten Factor,” has been translated into Ger
man and recently had its premiere showing at Caux
with a German cast.
U. S. Senator Harry Cain, after seeing the play, an
nounced that he was communicating with top authori
ties in Germany to facilitate the presentation of MRA
productions. Military authorities of the Western Powers
granted special permission for the German leaders to at
tend the Caux conference. “As citizen, as taxpayer, and
as Senator, I know of no greater investment to be made
at this very time than to make these plays available to
every German,” Senator Cain said.
HOW THE BERLIN AIR LIFT WORKS
Map shows how U. S. and British airforces supply
Russian-blockaded Berlin. Most U. S. planes use the
southern corridor from Frankfurt to the capital city.
Into it flew C-54 transports from Frankfurt’s Rhein
Main airbase and C-47’s from nearby Weisbaden. All
these planes land at Tempelhof, U. S.-operated airbase
in Berlin. All British planes and some U. S. C-47*s use
the northern corridor to Berlin, running southeast from
the Hamburg area and terminating at British-operated
Gatow airfield in Berlin. British zone takeoff fields are
at Fassberg and Wunstorf with flying boats basing at
Hamburg and landing on Berlin’s Havel Lake. Once over
Berlin, planes are guided to landing strips by radio in
structions from airport control towers. After discharg
ing their loads planes fly out of the Russian zone along
central corridor toward Brunswick; then separate to fly
to their respective bases.
Inset at lower right shows how air traffic is spaced
flying into Berlin. Each corridor is divided into several
traffic lanes—each lane at a different altitude. In these
lanes traffic is staggered to provide greatest possible
distance between all planes. Craft are so spaced that
they not only fly at least 15 minutes apart at each alti
tude level but at least three minutes in front or behind
the nearest plane at any level. (AP) Wirephoto Map)
