APPENDIX "C"
ECONOMIC DIRECTIVE
1. You shall assume such control of existing German industrial,
agricultural, utility, communication and transportation facilities,
supplies, and services, as are necessary for the following purposes:
a. Assuring the immediate cessation of the production, acquisition
or development of implements of war;
b. Assuring, to the extent that it is feasible, the production and
maintenance of goods and services essential (1) for the prevention or
alleviation of epidemic or serious disease and serious civil unrest and
disorder which would endanger the occupying forces and the accom-
plishment of the objectives of the occupation; and (2) for the prosecu-
tion of the war against Japan (but only to the extent that specific
directives of higher authority call for such goods or services).
c. Preventing the dissipation or sabotage of German resources and
equipment which may be required for relief, restitution, or reparation
to any of the allied countries, pending a decision by the appropriate
Allied governments whether and to what extent German resources or
equipment will be used for such purposes.
Except for the purposes specified above, you will take no steps
looking toward the economic rehabilitation of Germany nor designed
to maintain or strengthen the German economy. Except to the extent
necessary to accomplish the purposes set out above, the responsibility
for such economic problems as price controls, rationing, unemploy-
ment, production, reconstruction, distribution, consumption, housing
or transportation will remain with the German people and the German
authorities.
2. You will make a survey to determine the extent to which local
productive capacity and local supplies are or can be made available for
export for relief and rehabilitation in the devastated areas of Europe
or for such other purposes as may later be determined.
3. You will take such steps as are necessary to protect from destruc-
tion by the Germans, and maintain for such ultimate disposition as
