has conceived of the reparation program as contributing to the same end.
It has, therefors, insisted in the reparation program on depriving Germany
of the capital equipment which exceeded the requirements for attain-

and of the ocean-going merchant fleet and the foreign assets which at
times served as instruments of German imperialism, but without prescrib-
ing permament limits on future German economic devolopment, Similarly,
the United States has espoused the deconcentration and decartelisation
of German industry and has favored agrarian reform in Germany for the
dual purpose of eliminating from positions of power those olements which
in the past supported aggassive German nationalism and of accomplishing,
in the interest of democracy, a greater dispersal of control over German
resources. It has not, however, considered that these measures should
be imposed on Oermany as permanent limitations on its sovereignty in the
economic sphere.
