EAST GERMANY’S GOVERNMENT
“Drive To Socialism To Be Slowed”
(Rec. 8 p.m.) BERLIN, July 30. The East German Deputy-Prime Minister (Mr Walter Ulbricht) said in a speech published today that East Germany would slow its drive towards a Socialist society and would not try to force socialism on a people not yet ready for it. Mr Ulbricht, who is also the Socialist Unity (Communist) Party first secretary, said that the party’s error had been to try to force the pace and slavishly, copy Soviet forms without paying sufficient regard to the differences between the Soviet situation and the German.
This error had made a “new course of action” necessary. Mr Ulbricht’s statements were made
in a week-end speech to the party central committee, and published today in “Neues Deutschland,” the party newspaper.
