States. The Sovieta and Froneh wish to continuo the international
process, and Sir Hartley Shaweross's letter (Tab D) indicates that
the British would be rolustant to accept the "political opprobrium
of termination. It is possible, of course, that high level diplo-
natio negotiations might bring about a change in this situationg
of this possibility I an in no position to judge.
8. It is probable, though not absolutely cleas, that a
termination of the London Agreement is a complete termination for
all purpeses, so that Articles 10 and 11, rolating to sonal trials
of nembers of organizations, would be terminated. Turthernore, the
Article (8) which specifies the three eategorios of arimes, would
probably likewise disappear. Although I have not fully examined
the question, I believs that those consequendes would be harmful
to our sonal trials under Control Council Law No. 10 and ambarrassing
to the denasification program. Cortainly the consequsnoes would not
be helpful.
9. What is more important, termination of the London
Agresment by the United States alone, or at its instigation, would,
it appears to me, be most unfortunate from the standpoint of genoral
international jurisprudence. The United states, through Mr. Justice
Jackson, was the source of the inspiration and energy which brought
about the london Agreement. The United States has an enormous moral
investmont in the declarations of the Latudon Agroement. If the United
States now becomes the prime nover for termination of the Agroement,
