East German Constitution Approved Amid Unity Appeal
The East German constitution is approved as West Berlin marks circulate legally. The draft seeks to stabilize the bankrupt west city government while cashing revenue in East marks. The East mark is worth a quarter of the West mark. Western leaders respond coolly to a planned all German unity conference. Communists deny hoped for acceptance and view the move as a bid to split Germany and disrupt Bonn. The constitution guarantees private property but allows expropriation of "war mongers" without compensation. Free speech is limited to wartime matters.
