Letter from the Continent

SOVIET VICTORIES

There is no doubt that the Berlin arrangements and the Crimean trip of Chancellor Willy Brandt constitute definite Soviet victories. It has been declared officially that West Berlin is no longer an integral part of West Germany; the German Democratic Republic has, to all practical purposes, been recognized by West Germany and, indirectly, by the Western powers. All this has happened because the German Social Democratic Party, once entirely Marxist in spirit, has gradually abandoned Marxism as its basic creed but has nevertheless been unable to dissociate itself entirely from this heritage.
