A special arrangement exists whereby nationalized coal is sold to private enterprise at the rate of E5-f6 a ton. After processing, it is marketed at f24 a ton.

Showcase It raises the question for whose benefit were the mines nationalized. Even in this showcase of British mining, the miners are far from getting their just deserts. Rather, wages are being held back to subsidize private profiteering.

Despite being a member of the Party (the Free Democratic capitalist party which forms the minor partner to Brandt's Social Democratic Party in the coalition) he last week led the negotiations in Warsaw for a settlement with Poland. During a break in the talks he travelled South to visit Ausch- witz, site of the death camp in which over four million • men, women and children were put to death by the Nazis. In the majority they were political opponents of Nazism or Jews who fell victim to Hitler's "final solution', , in the course of which six million European Tews were slaughtered. As a gesture of reconciliation accompanied Scheel was to by Polish Auschwitz Prime Minister Jozef Cyrankiewicz, him- self a Jew who was a prisoner there (No 62933) after being arrested while working in the socialist underground in 1941.

But even as they travelled to Auschwitz the need for capital- ism to use the worst extremes of barbarity and murder re- asserted itself again in Germany.

RALLY

At Wuerzburg a new political 'Action-resist- movement, called ance' claimed the support of 3,000 members. Sponsored by the Nazi 'National Democratic Party it recently held a rally in Wuerz- burg and has pledged itself to prevent the ratification of any W German-Polish treaty.
