Security above Reparations
9.
Reparations should be fixed at the maximum within
Germany1e capacity to pay, consistent with security
and not to undercut living standards by forcing exports.
Russia and other countries are entitled to labor
reparations, particularly if they will include in
their labor battalions the principal war makers - the
Nazis, the Gestapo, Junkers, the General Staff,
geopolitikers, war industrialists, war financiers -
leaving the ordinary peasants and workers.
Long Occupation Vital
10. We must ready ourselves for a long occupation of
Germany -- as long as it takes for her spiritual
and economic rebirth.
Supreme European Council
11. Create a Supreme European Reconstruction Council to
coordinate the many aspects of European reconstruction
with the German settlement, reparations and other
problems.
Positive Foreign Economic Policy
12. Develop a positive American foreign economic policy
bringing tariffs, monetary agreements, foreign credits,
cartels and all other economic matters into a coherent
whole which will meet this one decisive test -- how to
preserve the American free enterprise system in a
world drifting to cartelizations of various kinds ---
