Mounting Tension And Grave Anxiety

Rivalry Between East And West

Berlin, Jan. 12.

As mounting tension and grave anxiety add to the misery of the cold, hungry German popula- tton, Russia and the Western Powers face each other here in a waiting game of diplomatic and administrative moves which may deærmine whether there will be one Germany or two. A false move by either side may split Germany irrevocably. Neither side wants to make a false

But even allowing, with the heat will in the world, that no- body wants to see the break, the majority of opinion in Berlin re- gard it as inevitable.
