German a Thew have resisted in renovals of
a SERVICE"
capital equiphent from Germany by raising the permitter! level of industry.
They have been reluctant to turn over responsibilities to the German
people and have insisted on an exaggerated degree of decentralization
of power in both the economic and political spheres. They have espoused
international management of industries, rather than simply inter-
national supervision over the distribution of key Euhr products. Aside
from their interest in maximizing exports of coal from Gormany, they have
tended to brake the rate of German economic recovery. Although favorable
in principle to regaration from current output, the French have not vigor-
cusl; deranded it in practice, apparently for fear that it would moan
the retention of nore industrial plant and coal in Germany.
The Sevict Union has brought both economic and ;oolitical institu-
tions within its zone of occupation to a large extent in conformity with
the Soviet pattern. It has enforced drastic measures of agrarian reform
and socialization, although with the sanction of ostensible popular ap-
proval. Under the cover of reparation, it has taken over the most im-
portant industrial plants of its zone and organized them in a number of
Soviet corporations through which it evidently intends to dominate the
ecoriomy and extract reparation from current output in considerable volume.
Because of its own war losses, its limited industrial capacity, and its
desire to retain an economic grip on Germany, it attaches great importance
to a large volume of reparation from Germany. Although riginally interested
in enforcing sharp reductions -in Corman industrial capacity, it was willing
at the boscow session of the Council of Foreign linisters to increase sub-
stantially the level of industry in return for reparation from current
output. The Soviet Union has always pnid lip service to the principle
of German economic and political unity and would, in fact, benefit from
