allocation of Ruhr resources, rather than direct allocation of such ro-
sources. by an international agency. In other words, the United States
considered that any international supervisory or control agency should inter-
vone only if the disposition of Buhr resources made by the Germans violated
certain criteria as to equitable distribution which had been fixed in the
interests of Europe as a whole and embotied in the peace settlement.
There scems to be no reason for changing this position.
We need to face, however, the question of which powers should be
represented on any international supervisory commissiom. The Soviet Union
will undbubtedly want to be represented because of the importance of sup=
plies of Ruhr iron and stoel to its own economy. There would be reason
to include it only if the agreement on the Ruhr were part of a generally
satisfactory overall sottlement of German questions and if the commis-
sion were not required to act by unanimous vote. Moreover, we should also
insist that there be similar regimes for international supervision of
areas of industrial concentration' in Eastern Europe such as Upper Silesia
and that Western powers be permitted to share in such supervisory regimes
before admitting the Soviet Union to participation in the supervision of
Ruhr resources.
