as not to require the maintenance of the
German war potential or the continued
dependence of other countries on Germany
after reparations cease. Accordingly,
recurring reparations, over a period of
years, should be :
" (1) As small as possible in relation
to the reparations to be paid in the form of
industrial plants and equipment; and
" '(2) Primarily in the form of raw
materials and natural resources, and to the
smallest extent possible in the form of
manufactured products.
"i. The removal of plants and equipment
shall take place regardless of the fact that
they are onned in whole or in part, directly
or indirestly, by United Nations nationals.
Where plants or equipment which are owned in
whole or in bart by a United Nations national
are to be SO emoved arrangements shall be
made, if pmocticable and desired by the
government of such national, for the owner
to retain his interest in such plant and
equipment after removal. If not practicable
or so desired, Germany shall furnish to the
government of such national adequate repara-
tion to cover the interest of such national.
j. It will be inevitable that the
German standard of living will be adversely
affected by the carrying out of the Reparation
Plan. However, the reparation exactions
should be held within such limits as to
leave the German people with sufficient means
to provide a minimum subsistence standard of
living without sustained outside relief; but
under no consideration should this limitation
operate to require the retention in Germany of
means
