(Treasury absent)
THE PRESIDENT
Asked State to discuss reparations agreements for Germany.
MARSHALL
Asked for Cabinet confirmation of agreement to maintain Potsdam
agreement with British and French on reparations and to avoid unilateral
action which would irritate the French and British.
HARRIMAN
Suggested that level of industry in Germany be again reviewed.
Feels that such a review might suggest changes in our program.
ANDERSON
Suggested that State Dept has ignored views of Harriman - and that
Harriman should have the courtesy of a reply to a memorandum submitted
to State.
MARSHALL
In view of this decided to hold decision in abeyance until the
Harriman views are studied.

Does not think we should decide policy until subject has further study.
There is a very strong di sagreement among Cabinet members.
