[WASHINGTON,] November 4, 1944.
The attached enclosure to Secretary Morgenthau's letter to you of
November 3 2 could be most disturbing if there were any danger of
its being taken seriously by the British, but I do not believe that this
is likely. Incidentally, Mr. McCloy tells me he did his best to dis-
suade Mr. Morgenthau from giving any such paper to Lord Cherwell.
Hence the assertion that his action was with War Department "ap-
proval" does not seem to be entirely accurate.
Mr. McCloy tells me that Mr. Morgenthau indicated to him at
dinner the other night that after the elections he intended to get back
into the German picture in a big way. I very much fear that he
will
do just that unless the President calls him off.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Economic Treatment of Germany
As agreed in our conversation yesterday afternoon, I am sending
to you herewith, as you requested in your memorandum to the Secre-
tary of October 20,2 a draft copy of a memorandum on the economic
2 Ante, -
treatment of Germany. You will note as I promised, it is only seven
pages. I wish, however, to call particular attention to Section 3,
beginning on page 5 which, I am sure, you will wish to study with
great care.
If this draft does not accurately set forth your views, perhaps you
will let us talk to you again in order that the memorandum may be
redone in accordance with your desires.
As I stated yesterday, it is rather important that we give the
European Advisory Commission our views on this matter promptly
since the treatment of Germany must be coordinated with our British
and Russian allies.
