formerly.  Best of all is the brightened look in the people's faces,
courage has come back to the discouraged, and the confident ex-
pression that so characterizes the Leader's face, is reflected

but has not yet finished coming," said he.  And foreigners must not forget the downhearted Germany from which this Leader has lifted up
the new Germany of today.
