HICH event during the first half of 1963 will future historians rate as the more important: Stalin's death or Chancellor Adenauer's trip to Washington? Whatover the historians decide and West Germans are backing Adenauer-the effects of the two events combined mean that the men watching over this country's foreign policy must today be more on the alert than ever before.

Stalin's death has removed from power an old man who at one and the same time restrained the wider and more adventurous of his paladins hut by his obstinacy and lack of subtlety in international affairs managed to unite the Western world against him.

They have spent the last eight years studying where Hitler went wrong and why.

The alliance with the United States is the first result of that study,
