United States help if they the humans.‘

Whcn the United States stayed and struck back despite the cost 811d 111086!- Western Europe took heart.

The forces agaimt Communism became more active. The 0cm. "Wfllfl PM‘!!! dwindled in fiance and Italy.

Seeing the tide stopped, many Europeans believed the danger of war was sulbsidlng and recovery worth working for. In Germany production spurteci. The rest of Europe followed suit.

Meanwhile, the Western Powers imposed a counter-blockade. They chopped off the flow of coal and steel from the Ruhr to Eastern Germany. They refused transit rights to materials destined for Poland and Czechoslovakia.

The result: Communist bosses of East Germany's economy could not meet the insatiable Soviet demand for goods. They failed to meet production quotas. ‘The value of East Germany's money fell away to a fraction of the West German money. Eastern Germany's economy started to fall apart, discontent flourished.

Joined by Polish and Cbech satellites, the Communists 0f Gor- mahy launched cautious pleas to the R/usslans to relent. They were being strangled by their own blockade.

To abandon their demands in the present fashion without gaining any of their boasted ends is a crippling blow to Soviet prestige.

Eastern Europe's satellites can- not help notice the weakening sov- iet grlp. The cumulative effect will be difficult to assess for months but it should be great. It may force a fiundametnal change in Soviet policy not only in Berlin, but all Europe.

ationfis North American service, Pearson said the new declaration does nothing to change the crown link "which we cherish."

The declaration was embodied in a. statement sketching the back- ground ci the Commonwealth con- ference which opened last ‘rhurs- day at 10 Downing Street. There have‘ been six plenary meetings, all in strict secrecy.

The constitutional problem was the only matter discussed at the fuil sessions. but such topics as Pacific defence and meat supplies for the United Kingdom were taken up by individual prime ministers.

The final meeting was held Wednesday morning. Pearson and the seven prime ministers then went to Buckingham Palace where Prime Minister Attica read a state- ment of the conference decisions to the King. It was understood the King thanked them for their ef- forts.

Biggest Difficulty

‘rho announcement means lat the Commonwealth has surmount- ed its biggest constitutional diffi- culty. The statement did not say what would be done about any practical problems which may arise.

These might include tariff pre- ferences. exchange of secret de- fence details with India and possible legal ‘mplicaticna. The ex- pectation was that these matters

might be left to resolve them- selves. All of the Dominions except

India will continue to give indivi- dual allegianoc to the crown. Under a new constitution, ex- pected to be adopted soon, India will name her own president to take the place of a govemor- gen- eral now appointed by the King. But, although aha is replacing therepreaentative of the King, India wanted to keep her ties with tho Commonwealth. These ties are cultural, economic and military.
