Stay Where You Are
Alarmed by the swelling stream of refugees into West Germany from Communist East Germany--more than 25,000 in January and now more than 1,000 a day --Chancellor Konrad Adenauer broadcast a striking appeal to East Germans in Red bondage. He urged them not to take flight unless their own lives are in danger.
"I do not say this with a light heart," said he. "But I must explain that when hundreds of thousands flee, hundreds of thousands of others take their places, and they may be Russians or Asians. Every German who remains defends a piece of Germany, a piece of the Western world."
