POSSIBLE SOVIET PROPOSAL FOR TOTAL WITHDRAWAL OF
OCCUPATION FORCES FROM GERMANY
is
A. The Problen
The problen is to determine the United States position in
the event the Soviet Delegation should proposa the withdrawal of
all occupation forces from Germanyo
B. Discussion
There has been considerable speculation both in the presa and
in official circles here and abroad concorning the possibility that
the Soviets might propose the total withdrawal of occupation forces
from Germany. This speculation has been stimulated by the fact
that the Soviets on September 26th proposed mutual withdrawal of
American and Sovict troops from Koréa as a condition for giving the
Koreans an opportunity to form a governnent by themsolves. In
judging the likolihood of the Soviet proposal with respect to Germany,
it is believed that the Soviet control of Northern Korea and its
population is. much more complete and compelling than the Soviet
control of Eastern Germany and that the likelihood, in the absenos
of occupation troops, of Communist Northorn Korean elements deter=
mining the ultimate political and sconomic shape of all Korea is
far greater than the likelihood that the Sovietacontrolled elements
of Eastern Germany could dominate all of Germany.
