The Western Powers also approved the following
statements concerning the operation of political parties:
(a) All non-Nazi parties should have equal
opportunities for offering candidates for local,
state and federal elections.
(b) All parties should have freedom of

well as non-diserimination in the use of all media
of information.
(c) Party leaders and organizers should be
free to travel among all four zones.
