Secretaries Marshall and.

Thus it forced no change in the American-British position. The Russian-French move is in effect double blackmail. Mr. Molotov threatens to continue to block economic unification of Germany unless Russia is given $10 billion in reparations and a stranglehold on the German western zones. At the same time Mr, Bidault threatens to block an increase in the level of allowable German industry which experience Has proved necessary, unless France gets a special priority on RUhr coal needed also by the other allies but absolutely essential to German selfsupport.

Attempting ‘Bluff’

‘The Russian-French drive is not so strong as it appears. France is not in a position to dictate—in the long run she must co-operate with the British-Americans whose zonal economic merger includes the Ruhr. Weakness of the Russian threat is that it is based on the mistaken belief that the U. 8. and Britain will pay any price to get the desired economic unification including the eastern zone already stripped by the Soviets. So’ Mr. Molotov, with undependable Bidault backing, is attempting a bluff which will be called by Messrs. Marshall and Bevin.

Taxpyayers Object to Shakedown

In addition to obvious unwillingness to give Russia veto control over the Ruhr, British-American opposition to the Molotov plan is necessitated by the following: ONE: A $20 billion reparation burden would prevent Germany

The alternative to such self-sup-port is continued American-British subsidies to Germany, which means we pay reparations to Germany nominally but to Russia in fact. Of course American and British taxpayers soon would refuse to be victims of such a shakedown racket. With the resulting chaos in Germany, the already meager democratic potential - there would disappear and Communists would ride the misery wave. American officials are convinced that Germany cannot pay more than $3 billion in reparations. They are not certain the United States would even agree to that figure. Fear Repetition of Versailles TWQ: To raise the level of steel and other heavy industry beyond the needs of a self-sustaining ‘peaceful German economy would create another war potential, thus

: THREE: _ Revival of Germany's superior war potential throughe«industry would precipitate competition among allied powers for German favor and alliance. Indeed some here believe the main motive of the Russian plan is to recreate and. control the -German arsenal for use by Russia, which lacks adequate industry and skills. FOUR: The Russian plan would make Germany her slave for many vedrs and to escape that serfdom Germany would be dependent, on a dea! with Moscow. Rusisa, when the time was ripe, might graciously reduce her reparations bill in exchange, for a new Rind of alliance with resurgent German nationalism.

Whether Russia now is actually

To make Germany a futute~arsenal for either the western powers or Russia would make world war - III virtually inevitable—especially in the case of Rusisa, which could not -long sustain a major mechanized offensive. without a foreign war plant. 80 the conference issues involve mote than bread and butter; they
