J. 333305MONO-State Galley 793 UNCORRECTED GALLEY PROOF 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
