Only the road of friendship and peaceful cooperation of both veoples assures welfare and peace!” it declares. : * The proclamation reminds the German people that as far back as 1941, the Communist party de- slared: “. . . this war is hopeless for the German people. Hitler . .. cannot defeat the Soviet people and the Red Army. Hitler’s defeat is inevitable . .. fight for an end to this war, fight for the’salvation of Germany!” The Soviet Union’s meticulous fulfilment of the conditions for treatment of Germany laid down by the Potsdam Agreement was cited by the proclamation as evid- ence that the Soviet Union does not wreak vengeance for June 22, but acts upon Stalin’s words that “the Hitlers come and go, but the German people, the German state remains... .” . In the Soviet Occupation Zone the victory over fascism has helped the German people to restore eco- nomical and cultural life, to form a new anti-fascist democratic regime and the German Democratic Re- public, it is pointed out.

They are factories of life and peace, for they will produce iron and steel for construction of build- ings, railways, tractors and homes. The steel forged in their furnaces will not alter maps by blotting out whole cities, but by giving new life. Both cities, situated on poor sandy soil in undeveloped agrarian districts, will become thriving in- dustrial communities. : Construction of the Ost foundry centre near Fuerstenberg in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) started this year, and two of its blast furnaces are already completed; the third will be ready by 1952. It will produce 220,000 tons of steel during 1953 and 550,000 tons in the last year of the Five- Year Plan—1954. More than 4,000 people, including -volunteer brig- ades, are working on the project; by 1955 its population is expected to reach 13,000. Wharfs, basins and canals along the Oder River will -handle the Soviet iron ore and Polish coal— its raw materials. All the machin- ery is being supplied by the GDR. Hundreds of apartment houses are under construction. Highways linking the new city .with the waterways and railways are being completed rapidly. Construction work ‘on the same demonstration of ; gigantic scale is under way at Nowa Huta, near ‘Cracow in Poland, | where 15,000 workers build for! peace. Former peasants and youth | of the ZMP (Polish Youth Organ- ization) are mastering the tech- nique of modern equipment. Nowa Huta is the younger sister of the new Soviet town of Kom- ing of the Polish Six-Year Plan. It will produce more steel than all the steel works of the old Poland put together. A 28-mile railway line has been built, and two paral- lel highways—one already complet- ed—will connect Nowa Huta with Cracow. : : Soviet ore for both cities is ‘brought\on barges along the Dniep- er-Bug-Vistula-Oder water route. somol and is the biggest unaertai- Boycott Court ordersHoy, Cubadailybanned restored .
