Freedom from militarism will give the German people the opportunity, if they will but seize it, to apply their great energies and abilities to the works of peace.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Let us show our fellow countrymen and the entire world what the Germans can do when they work for peace.
It is not in the interest of the German people or in the interest of world peace that Germany should become a pawn or a partner in a military struggle for power between the East and the West.
I hope that the German people will never again make the mistake of believing that because the American people are peace-loving, they will sit back hoping for peace if any nation uses force or the threat of force to acquire dominion over other peoples and other governments.
The plan shows that the twenty million people in the German democratic Republic and in the democratic sector of Berlin think only of peace, and that they are working for freedom and peaceful prosperity.
The American people want peace. They have long since ceased to talk of a hard or a soft peace for Germany.
May we soon enjoy the fruits of our labor in a peaceful and united Germany.
A people that has experienced all that the Germans have been through, naturally offers fertile soil for the extremists.
The victory of the working people over the exploiters and slave holders is at the same time the victorious struggle for liberation by the German people.
We ought to disarm Germany completely.
Consider well this fact: As long as the German people does not arise and use force directed by its own will, the assassination of the people will continue.
