Remaining Problems
A basic Reparations Plan has now been adopted, the broad
which is set forth in Part IX. In the implementation of this plan, which
will be administered through the Control Council and the Zone Commanders,
there are a number of problems that will require immediate attention by
the State Department. These include:
1) Shares of Other Nations
The task remaining in determining the share of other nations is
the analysis of claims reports which have already been requested, develop-
ment of a tentative table of percentages, and finally the holding of an
international conference for the purpose of reaching an agreement on per-
centage shares on or about October 15.
At this conference the US should be prepared to submit and justify
its reparation claim. It should also be prepared to indicate specifically
what types of commodities and what types of assets it will take on repar-
ations account. In connection with reparation shares, the understanding
between the US and UK that we will share the burdens and benefits of the
reparations program on a 50-50 basis should be borne in mind. Moreover,
