2. Setting aside for the moment the use of German labour by way
of reparations, this question to be considered at a later date, repara-
tions in kind are to be exacted from Germany in the two following
forms:
(a) Removal in a single payment in the end of the war from the
national wealth of Germany located on the territory of Germany
herself as well as outside her territory (equipment, machine-tools,
ships, rolling stock, German investment abroad, shares of industrial,
transport, shipping and other enterprises in Germany, etc.) these
removals to be carried out chiefly for the purpose of military and
economic disarmament of Germany.
These removals are to be completed within two years of the end
of the war.
(b) Annual deliveries of commodities during 10 years after the end
of the war.
3. Germany is to pay compensation in kind for the losses caused
by her to the Allied Nations during the war and the Moscow Repara-
tions Commission shall have the task of considering the amount of
reparations to be paid.
VI. Major War Criminals
The Conference agreed that the question of the major war criminals
should be the subject of enquiry by the three Foreign Secretaries for
report in due course after the close of the Conference.
VII. Poland
The following Declaration on Poland was agreed by the Conference:
"A new situation has been created in Poland as a result of her
complete liberation by the Red Army. This calls for the establish-
ment of a Polish Provisional Government which can be more broadly
based than was possible before the recent liberation of Western
Poland. The Provisional Government which is now functioning in
Poland should therefore be reorganised on a broader democratic basis
with the inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland itself and from
Poles abroad. This new Government should then be called the
Polish Provisional Government of National Unity.
M. Molotov, Mr. Harriman and Sir A. Clark Kerr are authorised
as a Commission to consult in the first instance in Moscow with
members of the present Provisional Government and with other
Polish democratic leaders from within Poland and from abroad, with
a view to the reorganisation of the present Government along the
above lines. This Polish Provisional Government of National Unity
shall be pledged to the holding of free and unfettered elections as
soon as possible on the basis of universal suffrage and secret ballot.
In these elections all democratic and anti-Nazi parties shall have the
right to take part and to put forward candidates.
When a Polish Provisional Government of National Unity has been
properly formed in conformity with the above, the Government of
the U. S. S. R., which now maintains diplomatic relations with the
present Provisional Government of Poland, and the Government of
the United Kingdom and the Government of the U. S. A. will estab-
lish diplomatic relations with the new Polish Provisional Government
of National Unity, and will exchange Ambassadors by whose reports
the respective Governments will be kept informed about the situation
in Poland.
The three Heads of Government consider that the Eastern frontier
of Poland should follow the Curzon Line with digressions from it
in some regions of five to eight kilometres in favour of Poland. It is
They recognised that Poland must receive substantial accessions of
territory in the North and West. They feel that the opinion of the
