Allies Must Wait At Least
3 Years for Germany Help
BONN, Germany, (£*) — Allied
officials said Tuesday that the
Atlantic army will have to wait
at least until 1955 for the 12 Ger
man divisions it counts on to help
defend the West.
Despite the green light given
the European army by the Atlan
tic Allies at their Lisbon confer
ence, these officials said that re
cent political developments, es
pecially in France, have set back
the previous time table calling
for combat-ready German troops
by 1954.
The Germans will need two full
years from the starting call-up to
arm and train 300,000 to 400,000
men to serve with the six-nation
European army.
Nor does this prospect for Ger
man manpower for western de
fense take into account a possible
change in the West German gov
ernment. Chancellor Konrad Ade
nauer’s pro-rearmament coalition
faces an election battle in the
summer of 1953 with the bitterly
anti-rearmament Socialists.
