TOP SECRET
-2- - #5052, June 13, 8 p.m., from Frankfort
Chancellor's request as purely in relation to a possible
federal police and do not intend to regard it in any
sense as establishing the nucleus of a future German
army. It is my impression that US Government is not yet
prepared to agree to German remilitarization which, in my
opinion, would be premature until a stronger democratic
Germany has emerged and until the militarization of West
Europe has made far greater progress. Furthermore, the
rearmament of Germany would undoubtedly speed up any
Soviet schedule for any possible future action in Ger-
many and would, no doubt, be regarded by them as suffi-
ciently provocative to warrant extreme countermeasures.
Would appreciate Department's ideas on police question
in light of foregoing.
