Don* COUGH BOONE DRUG CO Postwar Plans For Germany Are Being Shaped By Allies "With Allied troops driving into Germany and tin. war drawing closer to its end. the question of how to deal with Germany to pre vent it from rearming, ana yet not cripple it too severely as a key pro ducer for Europe, pressed Allied statesmen. As IT- S. and British troops drove the Nazis back to their frontier on the west, and Russian successes uiacing them nearer to Berlin on the east. Allied planning for post war control of Germany reeeivec. a jolt with Secretary Morgentau's proposals for a crushing peace. Opposed as they were by Secre tary Hull and Secretary of War Stimsor,. Mbrgen.lhau's proposals provoked a lively discussion in U. S. circles over the broad policies to be ? fol'owtv; treating with postwar !

Permanent c-osing of whatever mines remain in the terr itory of the postwar German state. 3. Cession o; the Sasr and west ern Genua:-, industrial areas to France, and cession to Poland eastern German territory as suggest or. by Russia. 3reaking up of large German lane! holdings into smaii farms for the 45.000.000 people remaining in the country. 5. Withholding of any economic aid to the German people, with no food. clothing or other relief sup plies to be furnished, nor any re construction of railroads or factories 1 permitted 6. Extended occupation of Ger many by American. British and Russian troops for perhaps a gene ration. 7. No assessment of reparations; since Germany would have no money to pay them with, nor would be allowed to earn any.

Under the plan. therefore, indus try would be permitted to function ; in Germany, but only nnder strict Allied supervision to prevent the development of any capacity for warinaking potential. As finally worked out, with a view toward compromise with the Morgenthau viewpoint, a;: economic control commission embracing rep n^sentntives of the U. S., Britain and Russia would have broad now ttts over the whole postwar German economic program, with smaller groups iinaer it. One of these groups would super- I vise industrial operations within | Germany in the immediate postwar i period to prevent a complete prcs- i tratio'-i and maintain control until! such a time as the Allied powers j formulated a final economic policy ; for the country. Other commissions would be set ! t-.pl to control communications, su pervise, operation? of financial . in stitutions, and establish educational reforms to reshape the ideals of Ger man you tli. By the development of such a plan, it was felt. the basic structure of European economy could be ' maintained without an immediate collapse that misfit easily lead to chaos on the continent.
