The problem is, as stated by the Secretary of State at Moscow
on March 14, 1947 (CFM/47/M/53), to implement more precisaly and
uniformly throughout Germany the Potadan directive to the Control
Council into prepare for the eventual resonstruction of German
political life on a democratic basis, and for an eventual peaceful
cooperation in international life by Germany". Progress toward
effectual guarantee of demooratic rights and procedures throughout
Germany has been hampered by lack of agreement among the four powers
on the meaning of democracy and the method of its realisation in the
various sones. Hence it is urgently necessary that the groatest
possible measure of agreement be reached with respect to the follow
ing matters:
(1) Basic Human Rights. As an ensential prerequisite
to all other democratisation procedures, it is of prime
importance to reach agreement on the guarantee through
out Germany of such basic human rights es freedon of
speech, press and other media of information, froedom of
roligion, freedon of novement, freedom of assembly and
association, equality before the law, freedon of educa<
tional opportunity, and freedon from discrimination on
grounds of race, oreed or political opinion.
(2) Demasification.
